A cloud PBX menu system is pretty much like the standard options that you get from a premise based PBX however the difference would be the cost, in conventional phones there are associated monthly fees to upkeep the feature however with a cloud PBX all you need to pay for is the set up fee and there are no recurring fees. You can even have sub menu levels for better call screening which will all depend on your business.

A sales call? And so on. With a menu system the will track down those questions for you and if the sales department rings then most likely it is a sales call. This will also save your staff’s valuable time of having to transfer call here and there. Another benefit of a menu system the process work flow, it helps speeds up your processes and tendering of services, for an instance a sub menu level for support can track down the specific issue, for example you have multiple car services, engine repair, transmission, electrical and so on a call can select from hose choices and you can have the right person pick up the call.
