Posted on June 18th, 2020 by Amy Elliott, Head of Content

LONDON, UK, 18TH JUNE 2020 – 3CX, developer of the award-winning business communications solution, announces that popular New Zealand department store chain H & J Smith has successfully deployed 3CX across all of its branches. The company, which started out as a drapery store in 1900, has grown to become one of the most popular department stores in the country.

With multiple sites and the need for a robust, modern retail communications system that would not only facilitate efficient communication between employees, but also enable improved customer service, H & J Smith needed a software solution to replace their outdated PBX. Furthermore, IT and Operations Manager Morris Gilbertson was seeking a new solution that would help the company cut costs on telephony, a bill that amounted to a staggering $170,000 per year.

“3CX system has delivered a cost-effective and multi-functional communication system replacing existing legacy phone systems across all stores fully integrated into our existing networks. The system provides an extensive range of communication services, is highly functional, easy for our team to operate, reliable and provides a high level of service and support.” – Morris Gilbertson, IT and Operations Manager, H & J Smith.

H & J Smith turned to 3CX Gold Partner Focus Technology Group to deploy their 64 SC license for over 200 extensions.
