Purple Assistant: Teams add-on for number management

Managing phone numbers in spreadsheets, manually assigning or deleting phone numbers, purchasing numbers inefficiently by buying individually or in ranges… If your organization manages phone numbers in Teams, you will recognize the above all too well.
