Business Phone System in Corby and Across North Northamptonshire

When you need a business phone system in Corby that keeps pace with round-the-clock shifts and busy loading bays, give our team a ring. We have decades of experience in business phones, and we will make sure your callers always reach a friendly voice instead of a ringing phone.

Each call arrives clear as day and goes straight to the right place. Pick up on a desk phone, in Microsoft Teams, through the app or at a laptop, in the office at Earlstrees, on the warehouse floor at Oakley Hay or at home in Weldon.

Got a question? You will find our friendly UK-based team on 01536 218111.

How to Choose the Right VoIP Provider in Corby

Corby firms only switch phone supplier now and again, and a busy warehouse or office cannot afford a messy changeover. A dependable VoIP provider in Corby keeps your 01536 numbers where they are and your team working through the move.

VoIP puts your calls on the internet in place of a copper phone line, and some people call it cloud telephony or a hosted PBX. Your staff can take calls on a desk set, a laptop or a smartphone.

Ask any supplier three things: is porting free, will the handsets be ready to plug in and who answers the support line? As your VoIP provider in Corby, Blake Telecom ports at no charge, sends phones ready to go and puts you through to the engineers who configured them.

From Earlstrees to Willow Place: Who We Look After

We look after logistics operators off Stamford Road, manufacturers on Earlstrees and Oakley Hay and shops around Willow Place, and each business phone system in Corby we install is shaped around how your team actually works.

We start with a few simple questions. Who picks up, which sites do you run and what software is open all day? Comparing phone systems in Corby should never need a glossary, and we keep the jargon out of it.

Your offices and sites in Kettering, Rothwell, Thrapston, Oundle and Uppingham can all run on one business phone system in Corby, and a call that reaches Earlstrees can be passed to Kettering in two clicks.

The features section further down lists what a business phone system in Corby can do for you.

Your 01536 Number, on the Shop Floor or Out on the Road

Your customers have dialled your 01536 number for years, and it should stay yours. Where porting is possible, we move it to the cloud platform on a date that suits you.

Porting your 01536 numbers across is free of charge.

Once it has moved, a single incoming call can ring office handsets, laptops and staff mobiles, and your caller still sees a Corby number.

At a desk on Earlstrees, at a depot near Magna Park or working from home in Weldon, your team can answer your 01536 number from the mobile or desktop app.

Your customers see your Corby number on the call, never a personal mobile, which keeps conversations professional.

✓ Keep your 01536 number where porting is available
✓ Link Corby, Kettering and staff working from home
✓ Answer through the desktop or mobile app
✓ Choose the day your number moves

Cloud Phone Terms for Corby Teams, Without the Fuss

With VoIP, which stands for Voice over Internet Protocol, your voice is sent as data across the internet and not along an old copper line.

For your callers nothing changes, which is why firms from the town centre to Magna Park are choosing VoIP phone systems in Corby. Our guide to what VoIP means covers the detail.

UCaaS is short for Unified Communications as a Service. It brings your phone calls, video, instant messaging and staff directory into one app, and our UCaaS page goes into more detail.

Suppose a buyer calls the 01536 number on your business phone system in Corby to check an order.

The colleague who takes the call can ask the works office over chat, send the call to the warehouse or bring a manager onto video, all from one window, and a short AI summary follows once the call ends.

CCaaS is short for Contact Centre as a Service, and it is made for teams whose working day revolves around customer calls.

You get call queues, live wallboards, routing by skill and call scoring, and everything is listed on the UCaaS and CCaaS solutions page.

What a Business Phone System in Corby Lets Your Team Do

A Stamford Road distribution centre, a town centre shop and a home office at Priors Hall all use the phone in their own way, and we match the features to your hours. Voicemail to email, texts from your business number and presence are all available.

  • Auto Attendant

    A short, friendly menu lets callers choose sales, accounts or the warehouse for themselves.

  • Call Queues

    When the phones get busy, callers queue in order, and you decide how long they wait, what they hear and when the rules change over.

  • Call Routing

    Your routing rules send each call to one person, a group or another site.

  • Mobile and Desktop Calling

    The app puts your business number onto laptops and mobiles, which is handy for staff visiting customers around Northamptonshire and the East Midlands. We also supply business mobiles.

  • Call Recording

    Recordings help with training, disputes and compliance. Our warm storage for 30 days can be stretched to 180 days, and cold storage holds calls you need to keep for up to a decade.

  • CRM Integration

    Link a supported CRM, and the caller’s details pop up on screen before you answer.

  • Microsoft Teams Integration

    If your people spend their day in Microsoft Teams, we can route 01536 calls straight into it through direct routing.

  • Support From People Who Know Your Setup

    Our friendly UK-based support team, on 01536 218111, looks after the platform and makes changes whenever you ask.

  • Security and Compliance

    Security matters too. The platform runs on infrastructure carrying Cyber Essentials Plus, ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II certification, and you can read about each in the NCSC overview or IASME’s certification guide.

Busy Despatch Desk? Corby Contact Centre Tools Can Help

Distribution centres, online retailers and manufacturers around Corby handle heavy call volumes. When yours start climbing, we can turn on queues and wallboards without moving platform.

Your wallboard then shows who is waiting, the longest wait and today’s service level, along with the agents ready to answer. Our contact centre solutions page shows how.

Talk to us about your contact centre
  • All Channels in a Single Queue

    Phone calls, emails, web chats and social messages from your customers all join one queue, and the next free agent picks them up.

  • Skills-Based Routing

    Callers are put through to the colleague most likely to help, not simply the next person free.

  • Live Wallboards

    A live screen shows your supervisors how long people are waiting, and they can join a call to support an agent.

  • Forecasting, Rotas and Call Scoring

    Your past call data helps you plan rotas, and call scoring shows where coaching is worth the time.

  • Bulk Reminders and Updates

    Send delivery updates and reminders to customers in a single batch while your agents carry on answering.

  • On-Screen Agent Prompts

    While a call is live, helpful suggested answers pop up on screen, which really helps staff who are still learning.

  • Searchable Call Recordings

    Want to hear exactly what was agreed with a customer weeks ago? Find the recording and replay it.

  • AI Receptionist and Call Summaries

    An AI receptionist deals with routine questions and puts callers through, and a written summary of each call appears for you.

Phones Built for Corby’s Manufacturers, Warehouses and Shops

Corby grew up around steelmaking. After steelmaking stopped in 1980, the town rebuilt itself around manufacturing and distribution, and Tata Steel still produces steel tubes here beside large warehouses at Magna Park.

Add the reopened station with direct trains to London St Pancras, the homes at Priors Hall Park, the Corby Cube and shopping at Willow Place, and you get a real mix of businesses with different calling needs. We shape your system around the job it does.

Tell us what your Corby site makes, moves or sells, and we will recommend a setup that suits you.

Why Corby Is Switching to Cloud Calling

Local firms moving their telephone systems in Corby to the cloud tend to give three reasons.

Hybrid working. A colleague working from home in Weldon uses the same number, contact list and call log as someone in the office.

Business continuity. A power cut or broken line at the office no longer stops your phones. Calls divert to mobiles or another site, giving you disaster recovery without paying for a spare system.

Voicemail to email. A missed call becomes an emailed recording you can play on the shop floor or at home.

Corby and the End of the Old Phone Network

Analogue lines close on 31 January 2027. Before that date, list everything still using a phone line, including alarm diallers, emergency phones in lifts, door entry panels and card machines, not just desk phones.

With a cloud business phone system in Corby, your calls run over broadband, and the apps, voicemail and call routing work from the very first day.

We will test your broadband, track down equipment still relying on copper and plan the move around your team. Eligible 01536 numbers usually come across too, and your alarm or card machine provider can confirm what they need.
