Manufacturing environments can often be hazardous to certain technology, noisy and cover large areas. This can make tracking down key staff time-consuming and inefficient; whilst providing a phone at each location is not always practical due to cabling constraints, dirt and grime. Help is at hand however, below you will find just a small sample of the most commonly encountered ‘key requests, drivers and objectives’ we hear on a daily basis and how your new ShineCloud solution ticks the boxes:
Your drivers & objectives |
Your Solution |
|---|---|
A professional feel when customers call in |
No matter what the size of your business, we feel it’s important for every business to provide a professional image to clients when they call in, as such ShineCloud comes with a FOC ‘Welcome Message’ as standard. This can also be tailored to your business. |
Can l connect our paging system to ShineCloud? |
The large majority of existing paging systems can be connected successfully to ShineCloud. In fact, almost any ‘analogue’ device can be connected; these might include doorphones, bells, existing conference phones, etc. |
Do you offer WiFi? |
Ubiquity are one of the foremost names in business WiFi solutions, so for more than just the WiFi provided by your Broadband router, talk to us for comprehensive advice and proposal. As an added incentive, most handsets supplied under your ShineCloud service can connect via WiFi – thus negating the need for any network cabling and enabling phones to be installed into those hard to reach desk areas on your factory floor! |
Save money/keep costs low |
You are likely to find that switching to ShineCloud will not only improve functionality and make your business more efficient but also save you a significant amount of money. In a high percentage of cases, we find clients savings can be many thousands over the agreement term. |
We need cordless/mobile handsets for our roaming workers. |
ShineCloud boasts an extensive range of Yealink handsets for you to choose from, both cabled and with WiFi/Bluetooth connection capability. The range includes fixed, cordless, conference phones and headsets, as well as a selection of enhanced cordless ruggedised handsets with ‘man down’ alarms etc., and other security features – all ideal for manufacturing environments. For mobiles, there is the ShineCloud Mobile App. |
See any missed calls |
High end features such as Call Reporting are taken for granted by larger companies but the good news is, this feature and many more are now included as standard on all ShineCloud installations. Therefore, as well as seeing any missed calls via your SC desk phone or on your SC Mobile App, you can also log in to your ShineCloud Portal and view historical call reports – including, missed calls! |

Sound Performance
As a well established CD, DVD & Vinyl producer, with sites here in the UK and in New York, Sound Performance were keen to upgrade the existing end of life Samsung system to improve communication between offices, improve call handling efficiency and reduce costs, with all charges to be combined on a single bill, broken into cost centres for each office.
Linking multiple sites is standard for ShineCloud customers as is administering them using the FOC dedicated SC portal, ideal for IT managers. The market leading billing platform used by the Shine teams enables bills to be easily broken into cost centres groups. If the decision was purely cost related, switching to ShineCloud would be the obvious route with predicted savings in the tens of thousands.

Merchandising for Life
As one of Europe’s largest independent merchandise companies, with a large array of business mobiles and desk phones spread across multiple sites and multiple contracts, Merchandising for Life were looking for a supplier to deliver home working capability in conjunction with real world cost savings and all combined into a single monthly contract.
The consolidated billing of mobiles, desk phone, broadband and WiFi, provided by Shine has meant quicker processing for MFL’s financial accountants. Home workers are also connected seamlessly to one another using Yealink handsets on ShineCloud, with each home worker’s handset having WiFi compatibility, negating the need for cables trailing up stairs etc. By consolidating services, we have managed to substantially reduce MFL’s monthly bill.

Fluid Power Components
Founded in 1989 Fluid Power Components is an independent family-owned company, looking to replace an old Panasonic telephone system connected to the soon to be ceased PSTN and ISDN networks. A solution with minimal upfront cost would be preferential as although important to the business, the telephones see minimal use. An existing tannoy and door phone also require integration.
As early adopters of cloud slowly upgrade to the latest model of handset, used handsets become free. Like many customers, Fluid Power accepted these handsets, reducing their upfront costs greatly. Any handsets, new or refurbished, supplied by Shine Networks as part of a ShineCloud solution come with full support for the life of the agreement, including next working day advance replacements – making this a very attractive option for companies with minimal phone usage.
