What do you mean by call center?

Asterisk Solutions

Call centers are special offices designed to handle a high volume of phone calls. Call centers typically handle functions such as customer service, support, telemarketing, tele sales, and collections. Employees who work in call centers are known as “agents” or “customer service representatives” (frequently abbreviated as CSRs). Call centers range in size from very small, unorganized operations to massive, highly optimized operations with hundreds or even thousands of agents.

To increase productivity, call centers employ specialized telephone equipment. ACDs, or “Automatic Call Distributors,” are specialized telephony switching systems that queue and route inbound calls to agents based on a variety of criteria. Outbound calls are frequently generated by a “Predictive Dialer,” which monitors the status of agents and places call on their behalf. Desktop integration or screen pops are Interactive Voice Response (IVR) applications, call recording solutions, Video calling solutions, productivity monitoring utilities, workforce planning systems, and various methods of historical and near real-time reporting are also common to call center tools.

Asterisk in the call center

Asterisk is an extremely useful tool for developing call center systems and solutions. It includes virtually everything you need to set up a working call center, including support for call queues, IVRs, outbound dialing, recording, live monitoring, and reporting. Small and informal call centers can be built with a single Asterisk server or with a turn-key IP PBX. Enterprise call centers typically use a cluster of Asterisk systems that are designed to scale as the business grows. Asterisk is frequently used as an adjunct in call centers with legacy ACD systems, acting as the IVR front-end to a skills-based routing solution.

Applications of Asterisk solutions in a call center

  • ACD(Automatic call distribution)

ACDs are systems that automatically route incoming calls to Customer Service, Helpdesk, SAT, and other departments. An ACD enables you to improve your customer’s perception. Management employs call queuing with automatic distribution among a group of agents. There are various call distribution policies, such as sequential, random, for calls received, total duration of calls processed, and so on. You can also prioritize the agent’s knowledge (skills).

  • Dialers

Dialers – Outgoing call automation: a system that allows auto-dialing phone lists for telemarketing activities, arranging visits, or recovery. There are four ways to call, each with varying degrees of automation: preview, power dialer, progressive, or predictive.

  • IVR Systems – Interactive Voice Response

You can slow down your agents’ work by incorporating an interactive call management system. The user or customer selects, via tones or by speech utterances, the destination of your phone calls.

  • Call Recording Systems

you can access a reliable voice recording with a large capacity, and for a fraction of the cost of other systems solutions.

  • Screen pop

When receiving a phone call, the CTI(Computer telephony integration) system starts a session of CRM (or ERP) and can select the tab of the customer by ANI or CLID. Thus the agent can automatically display on your screen data and the recent efforts of the customer who has called.

  • Intelligent routing

Incoming calls are routed intelligently based on the dialed number (DDI), the caller’s number (ANI or CLID), or the date and time. This service’s functionality can be expanded by integrating it with customer databases (usually via web service).

  • Reports and call tracking

Statistics and real-time monitoring of received calls and service levels, telephone activity, agent productivity, and so on.
