Vodia’s new SMS Management feature centralizes all customer SMS provider connections under SIP Trunks for each tenant. It allows you to easily add supported providers and manage SMS numbers with custom settings like name, number, provider and message routing. Policies can be created for opt-in/opt-out messaging, welcome messages, message retention and conversation management with keywords. Additionally, menu selections offer customizable options for customers, such as providing information or directing them to URLs. This enhances SMS management by streamlining provider setup and message handling for better customer interaction.

White-labeling the Vodia PBX enables MSPs and VARs to offer business communications under their own brand without developing and maintaining the underlying PBX technology. Providers control branding, packaging, pricing, service delivery, and customer relationships, while Vodia supplies the multi-tenant platform. With V70’s expanded branding and management tools, MSPs can get to market faster and create new recurring-revenue opportunities.
Apple CarPlay support is now available with the Vodia iOS app, bringing essential PBX communication features to the vehicle display through Apple’s native in-car interface. Users can access recent calls, browse the extension directory, view colleague presence, listen to voicemail, use Siri for calls and PBX messages, and receive communication alerts, while built-in readiness checks and automatic recovery help maintain reliable access when network conditions change. The experience supports compatible wired and wireless CarPlay systems.
The certified integration between the Vodia PBX and the Infor Hospitality Platform brings hotel operations and guest communications together. Through support for UHLL and FIAS, the two systems can exchange essential guest and room information, helping hotels automate extension activation at check-in, room resets at check-out, guest moves, calling permissions, call billing, Do Not Disturb settings, housekeeping updates, and wake-up calls. This reduces manual work for hotel staff and keeps telephone services synchronized throughout each guest’s stay.
