What is Call Center Software?

 

Call center software is any software package designed to improve quality, efficiency, or productivity in a call center environment.

Inbound call centers benefit from software such as Automatic Call Distributors (ACD) and Interactive Voice Response (IVR) Software.

Outbound call centers gain more advantage from applications like Predictive Dialer Software.

Both types of call centers are able to make good use of Computer Telephony Software and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) Software.

Automatic Call Distributors (ACD)

Automatic Call Distributors evenly distribute incoming calls to all available customer service reps.

Interactive Voice Response (IVR) Software

Interactive Voice Response systems enable call centers to automate the collection of basic data from callers and can eliminate the need for a customer service representative on many routine calls.

Predictive Dialer Software

Predictive dialers can enable outbound telemarketers to be much more efficient with their time.

Computer Telephony Software

Computer telephony software integrates phone and computer systems to provide better customer service while concurrently reducing call times.

Customer Relationship Management (CRM) Software

CRM software enables seamless end-to-end customer support across your entire enterprise.
