The RingCentral solution for frontline workers is currently available in the USA, Canada, Australia, United Kingdom, and all the various European countries where we sell RingCentral directly.

The RingCentral solution for frontline workers may be right for you if any of the following apply to your frontline teams:

Your frontline workers are required to carry multiple devices for their tasks. This causes device fatigue and slows workflows as these staff often need to use their hands for work on the job.
Your frontline teams need to pause their workflows to answer calls or make/listen to announcements on paging devices or overhead speakers.
Your staff need to get the attention of their teammates who are not physically or geographically close to them. Sometimes they need the attention of large groups to coordinate a task.
Your office based staff need a way to communicate in real time to your frontline staff - not only through voice but ideally with other collaboration tools (video, group messaging) too.
Your frontline teams are unable to communicate with each other in areas with limited radio signals.
If your frontline teams are lifting something heavy in a warehouse, or on the go as a medical professional where time is of the essence, they need auto-play voice, so they can focus on the job at hand while listening.
Emergency situations require cross–agency and–organization coordination and communication. If your frontline teams operate in harsh environments where conditions may not always be optimal, such as hazardous and accident-prone areas to places that receive limited network frequency, this can result in life-threatening scenarios without smooth communication. Hence, it’s critical to have incoming audio messages to be auto-played on the default output source.
