The US Chamber of Commerce is encouraging small and midsize businesses to adopt VoIP systems for better efficiency, lower costs, and improved accessibility. VoIP enables communication over the internet instead of traditional phone lines, giving SMBs access to advanced tools like call analytics, automation, and AI. With integrations across CRMs and business apps, VoIP enhances customer experience and productivity while remaining scalable and cost-effective. Vodia Networks builds on this foundation, offering a secure, feature-rich PBX.
The US Chamber of Commerce, the world’s largest business organization, recommends Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) for SMBs. This past summer, the Chamber published an article listing the benefits of VoIP, including lower costs, operational efficiency, and accessibility.
According to the Chamber, “Many VoIP phone providers have invested in analytics, automation, and AI tools. These capabilities help leaders solve problems and get more value for their money. Moreover, sophisticated VoIP solutions automate workflows and analyze data across platforms, allowing organizations to coordinate activities involving help desk or CRM tools.”
What Is VoIP?
VoIP enables the transmission of voice via the internet, rather than over traditional, “copper” landlines. VoIP converts voice into packets of digital data so phone calls can be made using broadband connections. It has become a foundation for modern business communication.
VoIP can be used for both business and residential systems; users can communicate via voice from any connected device, including computers, smartphones, and tablets.
Why Should SMBs Deploy VoIP Systems?
According to the US Chamber of Commerce, SMBs choosing to deploy VoIP communication systems bring significant, accretive benefits to their companies, including:
Contact Center Functionality: VoIP gives SMBs call center functionality, including key features such as:
Mobile apps: With a VoIP system, an SMB’s employees can use whatever apps they wish and whatever devices they want - particularly helpful when your company has a bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policy - to make and receive business calls from anywhere, anytime.
Productivity: VoIP systems, particularly those that integrate with AI platforms, provide SMBs with call center features, including video conferencing and task management tools, while AI transcribes calls and automates routine operational tasks. This frees up employees to take on more important projects and interact with customers.
Scalability: With a VoIP phone system, an SMB can add or remove users - thanks to per seat licensing - from an online administrative portal.

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.
Digital autonomy gives MSPs control over how customer communications, data and infrastructure are deployed, managed, processed and stored. With Vodia, MSPs can build a flexible, branded communications service across cloud and on-premise environments while retaining control of pricing, service delivery, support and the customer relationship. This independence helps protect long-term account value, reduce reliance on third-party vendors and create more opportunities to expand services over time.
