Overview

Cloud PBX and UCaaS solutions enable businesses to scale rapidly, stay agile, and focus on their core operations without the complexity of managing IT infrastructure.

In this ecosystem:

  • Service providers focus on delivering reliable and stable hosted services

  • Distributors and resellers manage sales and customer relationships

  • End users benefit from a seamless, professionally managed communication service

PortSIP PBX is a multi-tenant platform designed specifically for modern service providers. Its Dealers feature streamlines the management of distributors and resellers, improving operational efficiency and supporting scalable business growth.
