Case Study: Irving Materials achieves unified cloud communications across 150+ locations and 60% telecom cost savings with 8x8

Irving Materials Selects 8x8 Virtual Office Cloud VoIP Solution for 150+ Locations

Irving Materials, a producer of concrete, aggregates and related construction products with more than 150 plants, regional offices and a corporate headquarters, faced a fragmented communications environment. Maintaining numerous on‑site PBX systems and services across locations—with more than 20 different local carriers—had become costly and degraded communication and productivity.

Irving deployed 8x8 Virtual Office to unify all locations on a single cloud‑based phone system, eliminating on‑site PBX hardware and ancillary devices. The move cut telecommunications costs by over 60% (yielding six‑figure annual savings), simplified management, and improved collaboration and mobility through features like mobile apps, web conferencing, call recording and presence.
