“We were jumping on that train very early,” says Christian Stredicke, serving the MSPs, Vodia is marking a decade as a leader and pioneer in offering PBX software that effectively turns mobile phones, laptops, PCs and standard VoIP phones into clients everyone in an organization can use for communication. Vodia has held the vision of enabling communication from many devices, which enables what we now call hybrid work. “People should be able to work from anywhere,” says Stredicke. Even a decade ago, Vodia saw that the browser would play a larger and larger role. In this podcast we learn how Vodia saw the possibilities a decade ago and embraced them. Stredicke discusses how real time communications, and WebRTC, moved functions, including voice communication to the browser. Along the way, Vodia has been careful not to get too far ahead of customers and clients. Stredicke discusses how listening, patience, and pragmatism has tempered Vodia’s approach, by meeting immediate demands and needs while architecting for the future with products that anticipate customer migration to embrace mobility and browser-based options. “The personal touch is something we value a lot” adds Stredicke.
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.
