How PerryGolf Hit An Ace With VirtualPBX

PerryGolf, founded in 1984 by two brothers, specializes in organizing high-end golf trips to worldwide destinations. With 28 employees spread across the UK and the United States, PerryGolf has established itself as a leading provider of luxury golf packages and golf cruises.

When PerryGolf was seeking a phone system to consolidate its offices in 2005, VirtualPBX emerged as the perfect fit. The combination of VirtualPBX’s steadfast commitment to its customers and its comprehensive feature set made it the ideal choice. Since then, PerryGolf has been a satisfied customer of VirtualPBX for 18 years, relying on their services to streamline communication and support their daily operations.

Communication Challenges Before VirtualPBX

Before implementing VirtualPBX, PerryGolf experienced communication challenges, particularly due to a lack of integration between its intercontinental offices.“There was a disconnect between the US and the UK office. If someone called the wrong office, we would have to go to square one and start again. It certainly was not seamless,” said Gordon Dalgleish. The lack of seamless integration hampered their efficiency and customer service. These challenges not only impacted internal communication but also resulted in inconsistent and unreliable experiences for their customers:

  • Disconnected communication between the US and UK offices
  • Calls were frequently being directed to the wrong department
  • Lack of call handling integration between different office locations
  • Delays and frustrations caused by having to start calls from scratch
  • Difficulty in transferring calls smoothly between staff members
  • Inefficient communication hindered operational efficiency

Integration & Global Connectivity

PerryGolf recognized the need for a comprehensive communication solution to address these pain points and ensure they could maintain a professional image while delivering exceptional service. VirtualPBX seamlessly integrates PerryGolf’s offices in the United States, the UK, and South Africa. It allows their employees, even those working remotely, to stay connected and collaborate effectively. This global connectivity has greatly enhanced their operational efficiency and productivity.
