MaidPro, Top Franchise 50 Award Winner for 2009, enhances customer service and satisfaction with TalkSwitch

OTTAWA, ON – July 28th, 2009 – TalkSwitch®, the developer of the original owner-friendly™ phone system for small business, today announced that MaidPro®, one of America’s most successful home cleaning franchise organizations, has TalkSwitch phone systems up and running in over 40 locations throughout the United States, with more to come.

MaidPro chose TalkSwitch IP PBX systems because they’re designed exclusively for small and multi-location businesses, delivering enterprise features that fit the small business balance sheet. Additionally, the system is flexible, scalable and easy to install and manage. TalkSwitch provides franchise locations with cost savings, a consistent and professional image and the ability to connect anywhere at any time.

 “TalkSwitch understands the needs of small, yet smart and sophisticated businesses like ours,” said Jeff Wechsler, Vice President Strategy, R&D and Technology, MaidPro. “We looked at a lot of other systems, and were extremely impressed with the level of small business knowledge and expertise that TalkSwitch exhibited. The systems are easy to install, they’re loaded with the features our partners need to ensure tremendous service to their customers, and they offer an easy way to move to VoIP. TalkSwitch has been a truly great telephony partner for MaidPro.” 

The 480vs and 484vs are the most popular TalkSwitch systems among MaidPro franchise owners, who tend to use three lines for calling and one for fax with the 484vs also providing VoIP capability. Their analog handset of choice is the TS-600 model, a premium business speakerphone featuring a large backlit display and numerous one-touch feature keys. For IP phones it’s the TS-9133i. All TalkSwitch phone systems come fully loaded with key features like voicemail, voicemail to e-mail, auto attendants, call display, remote extensions, complete call control and call management.

For franchise operations TalkSwitch delivers great value, productivity improvements and enhanced owner and customer satisfaction. From auto attendants that answer and route all incoming calls effectively to remote extensions that seamlessly forward calls to the head office call center, TalkSwitch meets the needs of single and multi-location businesses.

“MaidPro is a great success story,” said Jan Scheeren, President and CEO, TalkSwitch. “They’ve been able to bring on smart and motivated franchise owners and recognize the importance of the tools and equipment needed to win in today’s market. TalkSwitch was founded on those principles, and we’re proud to play a part in MaidPro’s commitment to customer service excellence.”

TalkSwitch systems evolve and grow with a company and provide the flexibility to migrate to Voice over IP (VoIP). For franchise and multi-location business, VoIP allows for three-digit dialing between company locations and head office, the ability to seamlessly connect callers to other branches, reduce long distance costs and take advantage of flat-rate VoIP calling services.

TalkSwitch systems are ideal for businesses with 2 to 64 telephone users per location. Phone systems start as small as two incoming phone lines with four local extensions at US$695, and can scale up to accommodate a maximum of 32 incoming lines, 32 VoIP trunks, and 64 extensions. TalkSwitch systems are hybrid, with support for VoIP and traditional telephony and analog or IP phones. The products are RoHS compliant.
