The Challenge
Crampton & Moore is a well-established retailer known for providing high-quality electronics and home appliances. As a business that handles a high volume of customer interactions, having a reliable, scalable, and easy-to-manage phone system is critical to their success.
Crampton & Moore needed an upgrade on their phone system to meet their growing business needs. Their requirements included:
- A modern, flexible telephony solution with call recording capabilities
- Minimal downtime during migration to avoid disruption to sales and customer service
- Training and support to empower their team to manage the system independently
- A trusted provider with a strong, supportive relationship rather than just a cost-effective option
The Solution
Following a recommendation from their IT partner, Crampton & Moore explored multiple providers and engaged in a tender process. Their decision was ultimately based on the strong relationship and service approach offered by Millgate Connect, rather than just cost.
Millgate Connect implemented a cloud hosted telephony solution designed to improve reliability, flexibility, and ease of management.
The Millgate team also provided comprehensive staff training, enabling the team to manage the system independently.

The transition to the new system was smooth, straightforward, and well-managed. Thanks to the porting process and strategic timing of the switch, Crampton & Moore experienced very little downtime, allowing business operations to continue uninterrupted.
