    Why Integrate Actionstep with 3CX?

Client trust improves, first-contact resolution goes up, and time spent on admin goes down.

    Case Study

    Recovering 30% More Billable Time for an Australian Law Firm

    A busy mid-sized law firm in Australia was losing billable phone time every day. Lawyers were manually logging calls after the fact, often forgetting call durations or missing entries entirely. Client matter lookups during calls were slow, causing frustrated clients and inconsistent service. Aatrox deployed a full 3CX Actionstep integration with custom local hosting. Results in the first 90 days:

    • 30% increase in billable time recovery from phone calls
    • 100% of calls automatically logged into Actionstep matter records
    • 7+ hours saved per week on manual call logging and post-call data entry
    • Client satisfaction improved with faster, more informed responses on every call

    The firm now captures every billable minute from phone calls automatically. Admin burden is down and fee recovery is up across all practice areas.
