Project Description

The client approached Vindaloo Softtech with a unique requirement. They have a Multi-Tenant PBX solution and wish to become a reseller of Multi-Tenant WebRTC and Contact Center services. We had to develop a management system for users, partners, and telecom providers with multiple role-based user support. The front-end WebRTC portal is a browser-based phone solution with many features that allow the end-users to make or receive calls and even transfer them. The different admin roles with varying rights can add/edit users, policies, servers, licenses, and button profiles on the backend.

Project Requirements

  • A Customized WebRTC portal
  • Four levels of user accounts
    • System Admin – Has access to the complete platform. Can add/edit resellers.
    • Reseller Admin – Can assign different licenses to tenant admin
    • Tenet Admin – Can assign multiple single-tenet licenses to the end-users
    • End-user – Can make, receive, and transfer calls
  • Option to create a separate subdomain for individual resellers.
  • Individual policy and button profile creation
  • Busy Lamp Field (BLF) to show the status of each user under tenant/customer.
  • XML / CSV URL Phonebook creation
  • Individual custom theming as per reseller/ customer
  • Voicemail Notification
  • Jabra /Poly-Plantronics Headset integration

Our Approach

We worked on the project in two phases for rapid deployment. The first phase is building the base platform that offers the basic functionalities such as individual user dashboards, profile pages, WebRTC frontend, etc. The second phase was all about adding user-friendly features such as integrated phonebook, individual theming capabilities, headset support, etc.

Custom Features

Individual User Rights - As mentioned earlier, there are four different user roles available in the Management portal. Three of them have different levels of editing rights in the Management portal, and the end-user can only access the WebRTC portal. Here is the breakdown of access levels for each user role.
