Small Online Businesses
Small online businesses can benefit from an MS Teams PBX integration by improving customer support and order management. Custom applications may provide a direct link between Teams and online storefronts, allowing for real-time communication with customers. This integration can also facilitate order tracking and inventory management, helping small businesses stay organized and responsive to customer needs.
