Detailed Call Playback

Sense Professional includes a detailed call playback screen, allowing you to find specific areas in the call by searching through the sound clip in wave form. You can also define set time sections of the call to play back, as well as adjusting volume and speed of playback. This ensures there can be no confusion about what was said on the call.

Customisable User Hierarchy

Sense Professional lets you manage your own user hierarchy, allowing you to decide who accesses specific data. You can create groups, assign supervisors, import users in bulk, and even segment by department. The user hierarchy is completely customisable to your taste.

Optional Voice Firewall

Call Answering and Announcing

You can set Sense to answer a call and play an announcement before sending the call to the telephone system; this is often used by our customers who want to announce that calls are being recorded. Using Sense Call Announcements means your voicemail is kept free and abandoned calls can be properly tracked in your call management system and the announcements themselves can be customised regularly.

We found the advice and support form Octagon in selecting a new phone system helpful when we were sourcing our new system.

The Ridge Medical Centre moved into a brand new purpose built premise and required a new telephone system to handle the large amount of calls they receive each day to provide a service that their patients would be happy with.

Octagon communications scrutinised our line and call costs and provided us with a solution that saved us money and is continuing to save us money. The whole process was really easy and was managed by Octagon from start to finish. Each month we get tailored bills with an electronic breakdown in order that we can monitor and control our costs. Octagon offer a great service and I would highly recommend them.
