Short answer: Red Cactus is middleware, software that sits between your business phone system and the other applications you use. It passes call information into your CRM automatically and can send AI transcripts and call summaries to the customer record, so staff spend time talking to customers rather than typing notes.
Examples only. Red Cactus supports many more platforms.
