What this is
A phone system, not a call centre.
A call centre is a room of people whose whole day is the phone. A phone system is for everybody else: one number, a few people, and other work the rest of the day.
Ringfully is the second kind, for the business where sales, service and billing all answer the same number, with different hours and different people.
What that buys you is one path you can read end to end: the number answers with your menu, the menu decides whether you are open and who should pick up, somebody answers in a browser tab or in the Windows app, and the call is written down behind them.
This is the menu editor, with its own names for each step. Press publish and that is what callers hear; anyone already on the line finishes on the version they started with.
The four parts.
One page each, in the order a call meets them. Every specific on them traces to a file, which is why nothing is listed twice under two names.
Menus
Call menus and hours
Your hours, your greeting, press 1 for this and 2 for that. 28 kinds of step, 6 ready-made menus to start from, and you change it yourself. Your opening hours live in here, which is why a caller at nine in the evening never waits for anyone.
Teams
Teams and waiting
Sales, Support and Billing are teams you name and give rules to: who may take the call, which calls go first. The caller hears whatever you decided while they wait.
Calls
Answering and transferring
Hold, pass the call on, or check with a colleague and hand over with an introduction. One set of buttons, in the browser tab and in the Windows app, and recording set once for the company.
Access
Who can see what
35 things a person may do, in 7 groups: calls, contacts, messages, voicemail, people, the company itself, emergency calling. Three ready-made roles, and your own from the same list.
Follow one call through.
The four pages above are the parts. This one is the thread: a single call from the ring to the record that closes behind it, in the order the decisions are actually made. The order is the part that is hard to convey any other way: your hours are checked before anyone is asked to answer, so a caller at nine in the evening hears your closed message instead of waiting for somebody who is not there.
It is the better page to start with if you are still deciding whether the shape of this fits the problem you have.
Texts, from the same numbers.
A number that takes calls can take texts as well. Every text to or from any of your numbers lands in one place, grouped into one conversation per outside number, so whoever is answering sees the whole exchange and replies from the number the customer already wrote to.
Reading texts and sending them are two separate permissions, so the front desk can answer texts without seeing anything else. Texting is switched on per number when we attach it, each plan includes an allowance of messages, and the rate past it is on the pricing page.
What the reports show.
The reports page opens on four figures for the window you pick, the last 7, 30 or 90 days: total calls, average handle time, service level (the share of calls answered within 30 seconds) and answer rate. Under them, calls per day, and an hourly heatmap of the last 7 days by day of the week and hour, which is the one that tells you when a second person should be on the phones.
The other tabs cut the same window by person, by team, and by how long each person was available, busy or offline, and list every call with a search over them.
How it works underneath
The menu editor is a visual call-flow builder with 28 block types across 3 kinds of flow and 6 templates, run by an interpreter we wrote. Publishing freezes a version; a call already in progress finishes on the one it started with.
A team is a named queue with a priority and required skills over one shared router; who is in it follows from the person, not the role.
Every answered call is bridged into its own conference the moment it connects, which is why hold, blind transfer, consult transfer, merge and add-a-person are one mechanism. Access is 35 permissions in 7 groups, three system roles nobody can edit, and custom roles from the same list.
Questions people ask.
What is Ringfully?
It is the phone system for a business where a few people answer one number between other work. Your number answers with a menu you wrote, the menu decides whether you are open and who should pick up, and somebody answers in a browser tab or in the Windows app. A call centre is the other category, and this is not that.
What do I need to run it?
A computer, a headset and an internet connection. Calls travel over the internet rather than down a phone line, so there is no box on the wall and no handset to buy, and a person answers either in a browser tab or in the Windows desktop application. There is nothing to install on a phone.
Does it replace the phone system I have now?
Yes. It is the whole thing rather than a layer over something else: your numbers, your opening hours, the menu callers hear and the phone each person answers on all live here. What it does not replace is a room of people whose entire day is the phone, which is a different kind of product.
What happens to my current number?
You keep it. Numbers port in from your current provider as part of setting you up, and port out again if you leave, at no charge from us. If you would rather start on a new number we can get you one, and you can run both while you move across.
Who is Ringfully for?
A service business of roughly two to twenty people where more than one part of the company answers the same number: sales, service and billing, on different hours and with different people. If your whole day is the phone and you are measured on it by the hour, this is the wrong shape, and we will tell you so in the first email.
What it does not do.
There are two ways for a person to answer a call, and that is the whole list: a softphone in a web browser, and a Windows desktop application. They have the same controls because underneath they are the same call engine. There is nothing to install on a phone, and there is no Mac build.
People sign in with an address and a password kept here. There is nothing to wire into whatever your company already uses for logins, so an account on Ringfully is one you create and remove on Ringfully.
What a flow can do mid-call is reach your systems: an outbound request into an address of yours, made while the caller is still on the line, through a per-organization allowlist that refuses by default. Nothing leaves here for a host an administrator has not put on that list by hand.
And there is no form that turns into a working phone system. Numbers, hours and routing are set up with you before anybody uses them, because a business-hours rule pointing the wrong way sends every caller to voicemail and no signup screen would have caught it.
Each of those is asked often enough to have its own answer on the questions page, in the same plain terms. If one of them is a hard requirement, say which in the first email and we will tell you whether to wait for us or go elsewhere.
