Each minute of wasted time with unanswered phone calls or pausing to send a text message decreases efficiency and ultimately increases costs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Voxer PRO is the most efficient way to communicate during urgent situations and is a quick and effective alternative to phone calls and conventional texting.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.voxer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/advantage-of-voxer-pro-2-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.voxer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/advantage-of-voxer-pro-2-1.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>What is Voxer PRO?<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.voxer.com\">Voxer<\/a> is a walkie-talkie style messenger\u00a0for Android, iOS, and desktop browsers. It\u2019s the fastest way to communicate using your voice. Simply push a button and you are talking with your mobile team. No more missed phone calls or time consuming text messages. Voxer can be used anywhere a team member is connected with WiFi or wireless network\u00a0on their smartphone, tablet or computer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Voxer PRO is the premium version of Voxer, packaged with <a href=\"https:\/\/support.voxer.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/204331443-What-is-Voxer-Pro-\">additional features<\/a> to optimize team communication.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Here are <b>five simple ways<\/b> Voxer PRO can dramatically reduce inefficiency for on-demand delivery businesses:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>#1 Deliver Premium Customer Service<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Voice provides clarity in tone and intent that texting does not. However phone calls can be a huge time waster. With each phone call, time is wasted dialing, waiting for answer, exchanging pleasantries, leaving a voicemail, and so on. This is expensive and inefficient especially when customer service is paramount.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">With Voxer, your voice can be heard in real-time, plus the audio is simultaneously saved as a message. You can cut to the chase and focus on the task at hand.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>#2 Improve Collaboration\u00a0with Remote Teams<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Remote teams are often on-the-go and travel in areas with poor network connectivity. Voxer will always deliver a message, meaning network dead zones are not an issue. The messages are immediately sent as soon as the device has\u00a0a network signal. No more dropped calls &#8211; with Voxer, your audio messages will be transmitted.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Along with sending to-the-point live audio messages, with Voxer, \u00a0you can find solutions to problems on the field more easily and give better directions with visual help from <b>text, video, and photo messaging.\u00a0<\/b>All Voxer messages are timestamped and geotagged. Along with the help of read receipts you have complete access to the location of your team members, exactly when messages were exchanged, and if \/when the messages have been consumed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Our <a href=\"http:\/\/web.voxer.com\"><span style=\"font-weight: 200;\">browser-based application<\/span><\/a> brings Voxer to your computer, and it\u2019s the perfect tool for desk-based support teams who have to monitor multiple conversations at once.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>#3 Efficient Hands-Free Operation<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Another big hurdle for field team operations is handling communications with headquarters while working, or making deliveries. For instance, text messages require both hands to transmit even short snippets and often miss to convey valuable meaning and urgency. It\u2019s a complete show stopper while on the job, and unsafe (and illegal) while driving.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Voxer offers walkie-talkie functionality that<b> streams messages hands-free <\/b> into a headset or lapel speaker, even if the device is locked in your pocket. Quickly engage with messages with one-touch operation on your headphone mic.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>#4 Administrative Control\u00a0for Your Team<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Getting your team set up with Voxer PRO takes just a few minutes. Users just have to download the app to their device. As the admin, you can organize your employees into functional teams as you create large group chats, add and remove chat participants, moderate conversations, broadcast one-way messages, and manage centralized payments.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>#5 State-of-the-Art Messaging Privacy <\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Voxer offers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.voxer.com\/blog\/2017\/01\/09\/private-chats-walkie-talkie-end-to-end-encryption-2\/\">end-to-end encrypted messaging<\/a> using the gold standard of message encryption. With \u2018Private Chats\u2019, messages cannot be seen or heard by anyone but the recipient of the message. \u00a0Any sensitive information regarding customers\u2019 addresses and delivery subject matters\u00a0are fully encrypted.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>Want more reasons? <\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">These are just a handful of ways that Voxer PRO can substantially help improve business communications for the on-demand economy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.voxer.com\/ondemand?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=footer&amp;utm_campaign=on_demand\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.voxer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/go-pro-teams.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"140\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the most important decisions an on-demand business has to make is how to effectively communicate\u00a0between field employees and..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":2309,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"aside","meta":[],"categories":[179,4897,31170987,481072746],"tags":[641922,31280,29395545,223906,324281,106595,22913140,108919,40159,120,3385,22998,115306872,994,357276,179904,75547,6937054,5358979,24435,1109101,6228,52260,412,8487865,31170987,178341847,152095],"yst_prominent_words":[659311427,659311406,659311612,659311835,659311421,659311611,659311426,659311420,659311635,659311613,659311608,659311404,659311410,659311606],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.voxer.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2222"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.voxer.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.voxer.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.voxer.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.voxer.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2222"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.voxer.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2222\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4478,"href":"https:\/\/www.voxer.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2222\/revisions\/4478"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.voxer.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2309"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.voxer.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2222"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.voxer.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2222"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.voxer.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2222"},{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.voxer.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=2222"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
