Why Retail Businesses Choose TX3

Never Miss a Customer Call

An auto attendant, ring groups and call queues route each caller to the right person or store, and voicemail-to-email sends missed-call messages to your inbox.

Unified Across All Locations

Manage all your stores from a single, easy-to-use portal. Share call routing rules, voicemail boxes, and employee extensions across every branch—perfect for franchises or regional operations.

Text-Enabled Business Numbers

Customers love texting. With TX3, your main business number can handle SMS too—so you can confirm orders, answer quick questions, and reduce phone traffic, all from one dashboard.

Order & Inventory Coordination

Quickly transfer calls between stores, warehouses, or departments to check stock, fulfill orders, or manage curbside pickup—all without putting customers on hold for long.

Boost Team Efficiency

Equip your staff with mobile apps, headset integrations, and cordless options that keep them connected even while on the sales floor. No more running to the back office to take a call.

Real-Time Analytics & Call Logs

Track call volume, missed calls, and response times across all your stores. Make staffing decisions and identify peak hours using real data—not guesswork.

A Modern Phone System for Modern Retail

TX3 helps retailers ditch outdated phone lines and scattered systems for a unified, cloud-powered solution that’s made for today’s fast-paced shopping environment.

A Business Phone System for Stores, Restaurants and Multi-Location Retail

Customers call to check stock, place orders and ask about hours, often while your team is busy with someone at the counter. A hosted PBX phone system from TX3 routes each call to the right store or person and sends missed-call messages to email. See pricing for what each plan includes.

Calls Routed to the Right Store

Each location can have its own number, auto attendant and extensions on one system, and calls can transfer between stores or departments.

Call Queues for Busy Hours

When several customers call at once, a call queue holds callers in line and rings available staff in order instead of returning a busy signal.

Messages Waiting in Your Inbox

Voicemail-to-email sends after-hours messages to a manager or shared mailbox, so no one has to check a voicemail box at each store.

Can a retail store use VoIP as its main phone line?

Yes. A hosted PBX covers what a traditional store phone line does, including extensions, transfers, hold and voicemail, over your internet connection. Your business keeps its existing numbers, and TX3 support is available 24/7.

What does a retail phone system cost with TX3?

TX3 charges a monthly platform fee by tier (Starter $50 for 1-5 extensions, Pro $100 for 5-20 users, Enterprise $150 for 20+ users) plus a flat $0.03 per minute of usage. E911 is $1.95 per month per primary or location number. See the pricing page for what each tier includes.
