Manage your VoIP account and your customers with a range of powerful management features.
Manage your VoIP account and your customers with a range of powerful management features.
Metis is a PBX and a powerful customer management platform. Using the same platform you can create customer accounts, assign individual call rate cards and service charges, generate branded invoices, provision phones and much more.
Every customer is unique, which is why Metis provides each customer with their own Metis account, their own call rate tarrif and their own service charge list.
All of your customers can have their own, custom service charge list. You can assign a percentage markup to your customer accounts, which can cover all of their services or individual service categories. Or you can assign manually updated service charges.
A simple but powerful way of keeping on top of your customer’s service charges and call rates. Percentage markups takes your buy prices and calculates your sell price based on the percentage increase. They can be applied to an entire customer account or to individual service categories.
Certain services or rates may not fit into the percentage markup model. For example, you may wish to sell your Extensions at a certain price. No problem, you can assign a manually updated service charge and the service will sit outside of any existing percentage markup. Both models can be used in harmony.
You can assign a percentage markup based on your buy price to your customer accounts for their call rates. If you prefer to sell a certain rate at a particular price (e.g. UK National) then you can assign a manually updated price to those rates.
Metis can generate monthly, and one-off, branded invoices for your customers. Set the “Invoice Required” tag to “Yes” and Metis will produce a Sales Invoice every month from you to your customer containing an itemised calls list and any other services they use via Metis.
You can enable or disable individual services or entire service categories. This can be used to restrict or open up Metis features. For example, if you choose to turn off “Non-geographic Numbers”, this restricts the Number Provisioning feature to UK Geographic numbers only.
Metis can send Call Rate and Service update emails to your customers as if they come from you. You can turn this feature on/off on a per customer basis.
It's completely up to you if you give your customer access to their Metis account, or manage it on their behalf.
