SUTUS, a company from Vancouver specializing in franchise communications and snom, a manufacturer of VoIP telephones and related equipment, recently announced that snom 720 IP phones were certified for auto-provisioning with the SUTUS Business Central communication solution.

Now, the companies have named Novus as a Preferred Partner to distribute this communications combination. According to SUTUS, franchise demand for their snom 720/Business Central solution has exceeded expectations in the North American market.

“Franchising is an exciting and largely untapped market opportunity for resellers,” Novus Managing Partner Chris Meehan (News - Alert) pointed out in a press release. “These two vendors have demonstrated that by delivering an easy-to-use, interoperable solution that can be deployed seamlessly in multiple locations you can create an attractive value proposition for national retail chains as well as regional and local owners of multiple locations.”

SUTUS specializes in franchise communications and has several high-profile customers in the pizza business. Business Central improves customer experience and location marketing while facilitating communication with the head office. The solution also deploys unified management and support functions across multiple franchises within the same company.

The snom 720 IP phone provides all of the needed tools for daily business use while adding Bluetooth headset support, a wireless LAN interface, Gigabit Ethernet ports and multiple SIP line accounts.

Novus, a snom Platinum distributor, has a history of distributing equipment like the snom 720 IP phone to a variety of equipment manufacturers and their distribution networks. Now, Novus offers a complete turnkey communications solution so that franchise owners can purchase equipment and applications from a single reseller.

“Novus is more than a distributor; they are a business partner ensuring we can meet demand and to live up to the commitments we’ve made to our customers,” sais Shawn Chute, CEO of SUTUS. “In our business, having a trusted partner like Novus makes all the difference.”
