The Challenges

MWR had three different suppliers for its broadband, phone line, and phone system services across two sites in Cardiff and Pntypool. This resulted in separate monthly, quarterly, and yearly invoices.

The company recognised issues with its existing suppliers, experiencing charges on any phone system amendment it required. The current setup even resulted in charges for internal calls because if
separate phone systems per site – it was clear the company needed an effective solution to connect both sites. It was also important for MWR to establish buyout possibilities with SCG, due to being in a contract with its current suppliers. Finally, the business required bespoke messaging to advertise all aspects of the business while customers were waiting on hold.

“We are very pleased with our Cloud-based phone system. Music on hold has proven beneficial and makes sure customers are aware their calls is important to us whilst waiting on hold. We now have all telecom services from SCG and one bill.”
