PHONEWAGON: Call Tracking Software for Marketers to Track Metrics
eNest helps PhoneWagon startup to design, develop and launch a SaaS model software based on their idea and/ or requirements
One of the researchers found that prospects who called and then decided to make a purchase spent up to five times longer on the phone. By connecting a phone conversation with a subsequent online purchase, businesses learned what signified a positive customer conversation for them. They were then able to segment and listen to those calls, allowing them to identify consumers who will potentially go on to purchase and improve how these calls are handled.
To achieve the above goal, businesses need to track all of the phone calls that they receive and the source of the phone calls. This will be done by tracking phone numbers, which they need to acquire with one click after entering the desired area code of the phone number. After that, they need to attribute the campaign that this phone number is being used to know how their phone calls and marketing campaigns are performing. The business also needs to have basic phone capabilities like call forwarding, call routing, hold, call tracking, smart caller id, etc.

Client Profile
Ryan Shank, Founder & CEO of PhoneWagon is very creative and often thinks outside the box to stay ahead of the curve, and he has a goal to launch a beautiful web-based phone system and SaaS product targeting SMBs.
Client Requirement
This project’s main objective is to give small businesses an easy to use phone system that has call analytics to win more jobs and reduce the number of missed calls and missed revenue. This will be a SaaS offering and sold on a subscription basis. This platform will use the existing Twilio call API for Call tracking.
Many small businesses are not using Salesforce. They just aren’t. This product will give them a phone system and light CRM to keep track of their phone calls and their employees’ performance. Right now, 30% of phone calls go unanswered, and that amounts to billions in lost revenue. We want to give businesses insight into this and give them the best phone product on the market.
