Festival Foods
Elevating the customer experience by treating store guests as part of the family is ingrained in the Festival Foods culture. Festival Foods’ legacy Samsung PBX lacked basic features, such as directory services, soft phone capabilities and call transfers. Mitel’s UC solution was the perfect fit.
At a Glance
The Mitel VoIP UC phone system was implemented across the majority of Festival Food locations in less than a year. By integrating with Festival Foods’ POS, the company is now able to provide faster customer service.
“We integrated the phone system with radio handsets in our stores. When issues arise, managers and employees can answer the call right on the floor. We also tied the phone system into an overhead paging network. Employees push one headset button to talk on one frequency and another button to talk over outside speaker or microphone.”
Mike Nomland, Festival Foods IT Director
