What hardware do i need in order to integrate Click to Call?

Im willing to make a system where agents will be able to simple click and call costumers. After few hours of reading, its very confusing for me and i dont know what hardware would i need. Im thinking to get separate machine with Asterisk installed. Then i need PBX thing.

Can somebody explain me what hardware would i need and how to connect agents PC computers to Asterisk or PBX?

Im not looking for cloud based solutions. Simply i want to build my own system. Right now i musing analog telephone lines and all i want is to connect them somehow in order to get click to call functionality.

Btw. is it possible to get inbound call with caller id? For example if costumer call me back, wil i get popup saying that XYZ costumer is calling me?

Thanks!

  • Hi there,

    Just curious how your project is going, have you managed to create your own solution or decided to to use a ready one?

    If you still consider options, take a look at Sugar and Asterisk integration by Richlode Solutions: http://richlodesolutions.com/sugar-dialer-sugarcrm-and-asterisk-integration

    Here's what inbound calls look like. You can immediately see who's calling:

    Thanks,

  • Hello!

    Call centers use a SIP phone, to allow calls made via the internet, messaging, among others. If you have one already, you can connect it to your SUGAR CRM with a CTI like Tenfold. That will automate calls, display a caller id (like you want) and log calls to your CRM. The Tenfold pop-up also offers a host of features to maximize every call event. https://www.tenfold.com/support-center/features-list/

  • yes i agree, you need a SIP phone

  • Hello,
    You need to use SIP phone systems.
    There are two types of SIP phone systems which you can use according to your business requirement:
    1. Hardware SIP phone : A typical telephone system that used hardware built purposely to make and receive calls using the internet.
    2. Software based SIP : Here any computer to be used as a telephone by means of a headset with a microphone.
    Software SIP Phones can also run on mobile devices such as Android and iOS.

    Hope it would clarify your doubts.

  • We are launching a new product "Enjay Synapse" which is Call centre software for Sugar CRM + Android Phone. While we will be releasing video and other material in next week. I can share some features and benefits of the solution. 

    Enjay Synapse Mobile (How it works)

    • An Android based App installed on your Android Phones. 
    • A corresponding App (Module) on your Sugar CRM Instance. (can work with any version any edition).
    • Once you install this Module in your Sugar - all the phone numbers (anywhere any module) will get a Mobile Icon just before the number. 
    • Once you Click on this Icon, your android phone places a call to that number.  (it will dial out).
    • You also get a popup in your Sugar CRM Screen - where you find all other details about the Call. 
    • You can also enter "Disposition and description" for the call. 
    • When you receive an Incoming Call on your Mobile, you get a Popup in your CRM.
    • Since all the calls are logged automatically and also related to that particular record (lead,contact or Account), you get complete reporting from Sugar CRM itself. 

    I am sure this will be useful for you. If you find this interesting, please email me. my email id is limesh@ens.net.in 

  • I'd just like to update that Callinize has changed its name to Tenfold. It's still the same CTI solution, but with a wider and enhanced set of features and integrations. Check out the complete list of integrations: https://www.tenfold.com/integrations
