Here are a few highlights that entrepreneurs can enjoy with Zoho One

Communications - Telephony

Connecting a phone system to all the apps that you use can be a headache. They need to be hooked up and running one by one so the service from phone providers can be ‘siloed’, which can lead to a drain in the very thing a small business or startup is always in short supply of – Time.

"Zoho One introduces PhoneBridge, a boon to the entrepreneur world. Small businesses need to pay attention to this as this is a single access point for all the telephony and PBX systems. "

Calls can be made, and you can have essential information pop up while you take the call – no need to fiddle around. The fun part is that you can take calls from all of these different applications!
