Discover every detail about your phone calls with call logs.

Call logs contain historical records of all the incoming and outgoing call activity within a phone system. You can determine the volume of calls, key trends, and how often people leave a voicemail.

Company leaders use call logs to achieve increased accountability and trim their costs if they are paying for phone lines they're not using. IT admins can also monitor for regular dialing patterns.

While call logs can be informative, many companies upgrade to a business intelligence solution like Nextiva Analytics for more in-depth insights about their calls. It works for contact centers and call centers, too!

Knowing when people call your company allows you to improve your customer experience. Small businesses need to use call logs to adjust their hours of availability, set up call forwarding, or even tailor their auto attendant with informative announcements.

Enterprises appreciate using a cloud phone system that employees can access their call logs through a self-service online dashboard. That means fewer IT support tickets.

Employees enjoy using a business phone app to view previous calls, voicemails, and team messages. This results in better collaboration and team productivity.

Lastly, if you get unwanted calls from a specific phone number, you can restrict calls to a particular voicemail box with call screening.
