Executive Summary

Many small-to-mid enterprises and customer-support teams that send staff overseas or rely on remote agents lose local presence when employees travel: customers see foreign caller IDs, inbound routing breaks, and average handle time and first-call resolution suffer. The total addressable market is roughly 3 million businesses at an average $3,000 ACV, or about $9.0B, and use cases range from SMB support teams and field sales to travel-heavy consultancies and distributed contact centers. The product would be a managed platform that provisions local DIDs in target countries and performs PBX/SIP routing so calls to a “local” number always reach the right agent regardless of location, with features like programmable voice APIs, Teams/Zoom direct routing, per-destination dial plans, carrier peering for low-latency media, and a simple admin console for number provisioning and analytics. Offerings would include a mobile SIP client and soft-PBX integrations, predictable per-minute pricing or flat ACV tiers, and operational SLAs for call quality and number uptime. This is attractive now because remote/hybrid work, API-driven telephony, and UCaaS consolidation make global, software-defined voice feasible and cost-effective at scale. To win you'll need pre-negotiated carrier relationships, strong regulatory and E911 compliance, fraud controls and predictable margins—those are the hard parts—but focusing on frictionless number provisioning, turnkey UCaaS integrations, and an SMB-friendly UX can differentiate you from Twilio-like building blocks and traditional carrier resellers.
