Microsoft Teams Phone Setup in Northampton
Turning Teams into your actual phone system, so Northampton staff take external calls in the app they already have open all day. One place for chat, meetings and calls, one directory, and no second handset or separate app to keep signed in.
Why this comes up
The problem
Running Teams alongside a separate phone system means two directories, two sets of presence and two apps that disagree about whether someone is available. Staff end up using whichever is nearest and calls get missed in the gap.
What you get
What we deliver
- Calling plans or direct routing chosen on cost and flexibility, with both priced
- Numbers ported into Teams and assigned to people and to shared lines
- Auto attendants and call queues built around how enquiries should actually flow
- Presence that reflects reality, so a colleague in a meeting shows as busy to the switchboard
- Desk phones and headsets where roles need them, certified for Teams rather than generic
- Call quality monitoring, so problems are diagnosed from data instead of anecdote

Working in Northampton
East Midlands
Northampton sits at the centre of the UK's distribution network, and warehousing and logistics operators here tend to need stock, routing and fulfilment systems that talk to whatever the client's customers already use.
Warehousing and distribution work leads here: stock accuracy, routing, proof of delivery, and portals that let customers see their own inventory without phoning in.

Microsoft Teams Phone Setup in Northampton — common questions
- How is this different from a general VoIP system?
- It uses Teams as the phone system rather than adding a separate one beside it. If your business already lives in Teams, that consolidation is the whole point. If you are not a Microsoft business, an independent VoIP platform will serve you better and we will say so.
- Calling plans or direct routing — which is cheaper?
- Direct routing usually wins on call cost at volume and gives more supplier flexibility; calling plans are simpler and better for small teams. We price both against your actual call volume rather than defaulting to whichever is easier to set up.
- Do we need desk phones?
- Mostly not — a good headset outperforms a desk phone for anyone at a computer. Receptions, workshops and shared areas are the real exceptions, and those handsets should be Teams-certified rather than generic SIP.
- Can we keep our main number and switchboard behaviour?
- Yes. Numbers port in, and auto attendants and queues reproduce your call flow — usually as an opportunity to fix routing that grew by accident on the old system.
- Do you work with businesses across Northamptonshire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout East Midlands, including Northampton and the surrounding Northamptonshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Northampton businesses do you usually work with?
- Warehousing and distribution work leads here: stock accuracy, routing, proof of delivery, and portals that let customers see their own inventory without phoning in. Beyond that we work across Logistics & Distribution, Footwear & Leather, Motorsport, Financial Services and Retail.
- Do you cover the areas around Northampton?
- Yes — we work throughout East Midlands, including Milton Keynes, Leicester, Coventry, Cambridge. Northampton is an urban area of roughly 245,000+, and we take on work across the wider Northamptonshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
