Call Center Software

Call center software is a platform that call centers are built on which allow them to manage multiple communication channels (email, chat, phone, text, and social) simultaneously. The software allows the call center to make outbound calls, handle incoming calls, send messages, evaluate call center metrics like queue times and abandonment rates, manage the live agent workforce, and utilize different scripts for different customers. Call center software is the bridge between your requirements and how the virtual receptionists engage with your customers. Below you’ll find the most recent posts from the Specialty Answering Service blog about the different components about call center software and how they work synergistically. We’ve also selected a few resources we think deserve attention.
