Our SUCCESS STORIES

Data security is a top priority

For the Zurich law firm Blum & Grob Rechtsanwälte AG, it is crucial that all data is stored 100 per cent in Switzerland. This naturally also applies to telephone and call data, as COO Oliver Achermann explains in our new customer interview. For this reason, the law firm has been making calls with peoplefone 3CX HOSTED, our cloud-based telephone solution, since March 2024. Oliver Achermann and the team at Blum & Grob are very satisfied with the new solution.

peoplefone recommended by IT specialist

peoplefone is often recommended by an installation partner. According to medical practice assistant Ines Fichera, it was the other way round at the Therwil ophthalmological practice:

«Our external IT specialist had recommended peoplefone as our VoIP provider and then suggested Supsign AG as our installation partner. This was the ideal solution for us - firstly because the two companies had already been working together for some time, and secondly because the latter are based in Münchenstein and we therefore benefit from local IT support.»

Our employees were able to make calls with 3CX immediately after the changeover

Since the ISDN network was switched off, the Basel-Stadt Protestant Reformed Church Administration has been using the 3CX virtual telephone system with peoplefone as its VoIP provider. The church administrator responsible, Alexander Kohler, was convinced by this solution from day one and still has nothing but positive things to say five years later.

«With the cloud system from 3CX, we no longer need a maintenance contract and were able to achieve further cost savings thanks to the massively cheaper telephony rates from peoplefone.» He also praises the VoIP provider's emergency number back-up and the excellent crisis support: «In one of the rare telephone outages, we were informed immediately by peoplefone via email and website, so that the problem could be resolved within 20-30 minutes.»

More efficiency thanks to peoplefone 3CX HOSTED

A 3CX telephone system has been in operation at the Quellenhof Foundation for many years. The Swiss aid organisation's system is now hosted by peoplefone. "This saves us a lot of effort and is cheaper than if we had to provide internal resources for this," says Jonathan Heimlicher, Head of Digitalisation and IT.

For the foundation, which is committed to helping addicts and mentally impaired people, it is indispensable that the emergency organisation is guaranteed around the clock via the telephone. IT Manager Heimlicher is therefore pleased that the new system has been running absolutely stable since the changeover in June.

On air and on the road with peoplefone HOSTED

The regional radio station Radioneo1, based in Langnau, had been looking for a simpler and more flexible solution for its fixed network telephony for some time. Since the company has two locations and the employees are often on the road, a mobile application was also required. The external technician's recommendation for the peoplefone HOSTED virtual telephone system came at just the right time.

Nadine Beer from the executive board draws an all-round positive conclusion: «We are all very satisfied with the new solution. I personally find it helpful to see at a glance who is available and who is absent.»

Flexible, easily configurable and efficient - peoplefone and 3CX are convincing

The Volketswil municipal administration was looking for a suitable VoIP solution for its telephony. The new system should be flexible and easy to configure, increase efficiency in absence planning and also be as cost-effective as possible. 

In the evaluation process, the St. Gallen IT and installation company com4all AG, together with peoplefone, was the most convincing. Andreas Fritschi, IT manager of the municipal administration, especially appreciates the so-called "VoIP manager" developed by com4all.

Better reachability thanks to the integration of landline telephony in Microsoft Teams

After 15 years of telephony with an aging telephone system, the Gewerbliche Berufsschule Wetzikon (Wetzikon Vocational School) needed a new solution before the move in summer 2022. Since the teaching staff and employees were already working with Microsoft Teams and Microsoft 365, integrating the fixed network telephony was an obvious choice.

Edgar Schlumpf, Head of IT, welcomed this decision: "The integration of the fixed network telephony in Microsoft Teams made it easier for us to move the school last summer." The advantages are obvious: "It is now much easier to reach our staff at the various workstations in different school buildings or even in the home office."

Wädi-Brau-Huus relies on peoplefone and 3CX for their brewery, restaurant and offices

The Wädi-Brau-Huus AG in Wädenswil includes a restaurant, a brewery, a warehouse building and offices. In the past, the warehouse and offices were located somewhat outside and telephone calls were made using two different telephone systems. 
Since the changeover to the new 3CX system, all employees can make their calls via the company's fixed network - regardless of whether they are on site or on the road. "This makes a lot of things easier and saves costs," says managing director Thomas Wullschleger.
