There’s a reason we’re called Vanilla Cloud

We start with vanilla. You decide what comes next.

Think of vanilla ice cream. A simple, trusted starting point. Enjoyable in its own right, but with endless possibilities when you add the right ingredients.

That’s how we approach business communications. Vanilla Cloud provides the foundation: connectivity, calls and lines, phone systems, mobiles and IT support. Vanilla Cloud Plus adds the ingredients your business needs, and we take responsibility for making them work together.

The right solution starts with listening. Vanilla Cloud Ltd compares suitable providers and gives honest recommendations. Our Plus offer brings that consultative approach to a managed solution built on 3CX.

Build your solution

No fixed menu. Choose your ingredients.

Perhaps you need all of these. Perhaps you need something entirely different. Pick what matters to you and we’ll design the right combination around your business.

        Questions

        Good to know.

        Straight answers about Plus, the AI voice agents and how we look after you.

        Vanilla Cloud Plus

        What is Vanilla Cloud Plus?
        Vanilla Cloud Plus builds on the Vanilla Cloud phone system with a carefully selected portfolio of premium technologies, products and services: resilience, real-time contact centre intelligence, AI voice agents, integrations, security and tailored 24/7 support. We combine the ones that make sense for your business and manage them for you.
        Do I have to replace what I already have?
        No. We look at what you have, identify what could work better and connect the pieces to create a more cohesive solution. We can build on your existing Vanilla Cloud investment rather than starting again unnecessarily.
        Do you still provide lines, connectivity, mobiles and IT support?
        Yes. Vanilla Cloud Plus still offers every Vanilla Cloud service: connectivity, fixed calls and lines, VoIP telephony, on-premise phone systems, mobile phones and IT support. Plus adds the premium ingredients on top, from the same team.
        Will our phone number change?
        No. Plus runs on the phone system Vanilla Cloud already looks after for you, so callers ring the same number they always have.
        Do I need every ingredient?
        No. We don’t ask you to pick from a fixed menu. You might need one capability, all six, or something entirely different. We work with you to create the right combination.

        AI voice agents

        How are your voice agents different from 3CX’s AI features?
        They are two different things. 3CX includes its own AI features, such as the AI Receptionist, AI Personal Assistant and AI Customer Service Agent, and we set those up as part of your 3CX system. Our nine sector voice agents are Vanilla Cloud Plus services, each built for a different kind of business and managed by us. Meet the agents
        Do the AI voice agents still come in Standard and Pro?
        Yes. Every sector agent comes in Standard, which answers and handles every call, and Pro, which adds unlimited integrations plus transcription, summaries, sentiment analysis and threat assessment. Compare plans
        Do we need to change our phone system to use an agent?
        No. We set your agent up on your existing number, with no change to your phone system needed.

        Platform & support

        What is it built on?
        Vanilla Cloud Plus is built on 3CX, with business devices from Yealink and Fanvil. It is delivered by Vanilla Cloud Ltd, a 3CX Gold Partner and 3CX Titanium Support Partner. See the 3CX platform
        Can customers message us as well as call?
        Yes. 3CX brings live chat, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger and SMS in alongside your calls, so messages are handled by the same team.
        Can you help us take card payments over the phone securely?
        Where required, we can incorporate secure payment processes that help minimise exposure to cardholder data, including secure payment links and appropriate solutions for taking card payments over the phone. Secure payments
        What does support look like?
        Vanilla Cloud Plus offers tailored, 24/7 support built around your solution, your priorities and the way your business operates, from an experienced team that understands your environment.
        Who is behind Vanilla Cloud Plus?
        Vanilla Cloud Ltd, your technology partner since 2012, with over 35 years of industry experience and offices in Eastbourne, Manchester and Essex. Why Plus
