Once UPilot is activated, all a user has to do is call a contact. UPilot records the call, transcribes and summarizes it, compiles an action plan, creates a profile of the contact and drafts a follow-up email (it even provides newsletter templates) - this is all done automatically once the user ends the call. It’s also possible to search call transcripts for keywords and topics. And with one profile click, users can search for a contact via Google or LinkedIn.
UPilot is device agnostic, with all of the features and functionality of the CRM available from desktop, IP or mobile phones. Alongside Vodia, UPilot also integrates with 1000 other apps, including Asana, Calendly, Google Sheets, Mailchimp, Wufoo and Zapier, without added costs and fees.
“UPilot is designed to manage and streamline the contact process for businesses of any size,” said San Bhaskaran, Chief Evangelist and CEO, UPilot. “It’s like a benevolent ‘fly-on-the-wall’ keeping track of every interaction and transaction. We offer every growth-enabling feature and functionality required by businesses of any size, and we do it without a ‘never-ending-upgrade-to-enterprise plan.’”
“We’re thrilled about our integration with UPilot,” said Christian Stredicke, CEO and President, Vodia. “UPilot is an innovative CRM designed to help SMBs and enterprises scale their business. It gives them sales forecasting, contacts, deals and pipeline management, all at a single, affordable price. It’s an information management system unlike any we’ve previously come across, especially when it comes to an organization’s sales pipeline.”
“B2B CRM is broken - it’s a patchwork of apps required to make things work, each pushing the customer to their enterprise plans, to messy and costly integrations and to ‘hairball pricing,’ said Mr. Bhaskaran. “At UPilot we decided there should be a better way. We give our customers everything they need without pushing them through a funnel of increasing costs. We don’t offer them a quilt that constantly requires new patchwork, with an additional cost for every new piece. We created what we consider a perfect solution.”

About UPilot
At UPilot, we believe B2B CRM is broken. Today, a B2B company must integrate a patchwork of apps for sales, document signature, call analytics, reporting, event management, etc. The problem is these apps are also trying to push you to their enterprise plans. Hiding essential growth features for which larger companies will pay more means your business is deprived of these growth features, including role-based access to control who can see what information, reporting, etc. Another major problem for B2B companies is the marketing and support modules and apps are charged by the number of contacts. This is because these CRMs are focused on B2C companies, where each contact has potential revenue and requires constant direct marketing; this is untrue for B2B companies - it leads them into unnecessary complexity, costly integrations, and an endless cycle of upgrades, implementations and add-ons. At UPilot, we call this combination of factors “the pain of SaaSlash.” And this is why we built UPilot specifically for B2B companies, so these companies can avail themselves of everything they need to scale without having to jump through a series of hoops and pricing models.

This document details the beta version of the Vodia PBX that connects to the OpenAI realtime API, enabling users to interact with a chatbot via telephone. The backend JavaScript code facilitates the connection, handling audio input and output, and the WebSocket connection to the OpenAI API. The setup requires a Vodia PBX version 69.5.3 or higher, an API key, and a license with an IVR node. The demo can be accessed by editing the ivrnode.js template and creating an IVR node in the tenant. The system supports various VoIP devices and offers good voice quality. Future improvements include voice activity detection and the ability to take actions based on OpenAI responses.
Vodia’s cloud PBX system enhances the Do-Not-Disturb (DND) function for hotels, allowing guests to manage their privacy through buttons in the room or on the phone. The system syncs with PMS for seamless functionality, enabling hotel operators to manually override DND when guests struggle to disable it. For critical situations, like room service follow-ups, the system allows specific extensions to bypass DND, ensuring guests are reachable when needed. VIP guest management features, guest-to-guest call restrictions and automatic resets upon checkout ensure privacy, security, and convenience, improving the guest experience while maintaining operational efficiency.
As businesses increasingly adopt Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN), understanding its impact on Voice over IP (VoIP) is essential. While WLAN offers flexibility and mobility, it can lead to call quality issues due to packet loss and bursts during access point switching. To combat these challenges, organizations can utilize robust codecs like OPUS which are designed to handle packet loss effectively and employ Session Border Controllers (SBCs) to enhance jitter buffers. By incorporating these solutions, companies can ensure a more reliable VoIP experience that meets the demands of modern workplaces, allowing seamless communication without interruptions.
