IPsmarx API allows integration of Calling Card and PINless with Point of Sales Solutions

IPsmarx clients can use our API to integrate with many other tools and solutions, such as Point of Sales (POS). With Point of Sales integration, Calling Card and PINless Solution Providers can sell cards or ANI PINless Services at supermarkets or convenient stores and charge clients using their point of sales terminal. Customer will pick up the card of their choice and simply add funds at the counter as they pay for any other items. This useful solution makes transactions much faster and easier. It also reduces the risk of cards being stolen since cards won’t be valid until activated at the point of purchase!

For more information on our API integration for POS and other custom applications, please contact us.

How to Choose the Right Solution for Your VoIP Business

Thinking about getting into the VoIP business, then that leaves you with a lot of decisions to make. Of course the things high on the list should be whether you purchase your solution, what features should you have and most importantly who should your service provider be? I believe the following items are the things that you should consider that will be important to your businesses and its success.

• Reliability
• Quality Calls
• Innovation
• Cost

Let’s start with reliability; does the provider have a proven track record? IPsmarx has clients using our solutions in over 62 countries. We have white papers, documentation and case studies for you to review about our successful clients. We take pride in enabling you to provide service in countries where VoIP is regulated or obtaining land lines is difficult, to take advantage of cost savings of VoIP and generate additional revenue.

Next, quality calls, this is very important to the success of your business. Since our solutions are SIP based you will find they offer huge cost savings, no initial hardware to set up or ongoing maintenance costs. The bandwidth is cheaper and better if your system is installed in the United States ensuring both parties have a good connection with quality for the entire call. We have a variety of reports that will also help you continue to evaluate the quality of your calls and the carriers that are connecting them. As the administrator you also have control over the dial plan and how those calls are connected.

Innovation, now compared to everything else we are discussing, why am I including this? Well, you need a provider that is committed to constant attention to detail. We have conducted focus groups to learn more about our solutions from the customer’s point of view; we have in turn applied those suggestions to make our solutions more competitive within the industry. We continue to upgrade and add features and our technical team of qualified engineers will addresses your technical needs as they arise. The wealth of hardware and software knowledge that we carry in our NOC is a cornerstone of our success and the reason why our customers excel in the market.

Cost, sometimes being the bottom line for making a decision! IPsmarx Solutions is advantageous based on our competitive cost of deployment, operation and rapid return of investment. We believe that the value that we offer ensures that cost won’t be an issue.

As the number of businesses offering VoIP services in the telephony industry increases, it becomes more crucial for companies to differentiate their image and services in the market. Our team will help you devise a business plan that is right for you and assist in setting that plan in motion.
