There are many call centers all across the world that use the VICIDial solution and why not? Looking for VICIdial Custom Development tailored to your business needs? At KingAsterisk Technology, we specialize in VICIdial customization services to enhance your call center operations.
Here’s what we can offer
Missed Call Report Setup
Our Customized VICIdial solution has a feature whereby it populates records in the object “Phone Events” every time a call attempts to ring an agent’s device but for whatever reason that agent does not answer the call.
This allows you to monitor when your agents fail to answer a call that may or may not be answered by a different agent later on, potentially seeing everyone that call tried to ring, and in what specific way it failed to get answered.
Web-Based Calling
Who says you need a desk phone or cell phone to make a phone call? With KingAsterisk’s AI-powered VICIdial Custom Development platform, you can make a phone call from a web browser. Agents can seamlessly call clients from a database using a user-friendly web-client interface. You can use the Chrome plugin or extension, Firefox, or any other browser.
Abandoned Report
An abandoned call occurs when a call is on hold while it is alerting on a queue and the caller disconnects. The caller perceives the call is on hold. You may also define an abandoned interaction as when an interaction enters an inactive state without first entering the connection state while on a queue.
Advanced Agent Performance Report
Advanced performance report feature showcases the performance of support agents, and can be filtered and modified to showcase additional data. Monitor agent productivity and identify areas for improvement.
Finding areas that can be optimized is always great because it presents an opportunity to:
➡ Improve your agent’s performance
➡ Provide additional training to those that need it
➡ Improve customer satisfaction, experience, and sales
➡ Reallocate resources
➡ Reinforce support channels
➡ Find more cost-effective ways to solve problems
Sales History Report
Call center Businesses typically use sales history reports to track their sales team activity, and measure how successful the sales team is at moving prospects through the funnel. On the other hand, it should contain all relevant information that you may need for future interaction with the prospect.
Auto-Dialing
Set campaigns to auto-dial and route live calls to available agents for efficient call handling. Autodialing is a feature that automates the process of dialing phone numbers from a contact list or, often, many lists housed within a CRM or another database. The auto-dialer system automatically dials the phone numbers from the imported list of contacts.
As per the data, implementing an autodialing system in VICIdial can escalate the talk times of agents by as much as 200–300%.
Script Display
To face customers in a live service environment, the support teams would need scripts to equip them in any situation. Specialists can get to scripts with fields pre-filled, similar to name and address, to improve client corporations. Intuitive call center scripting empowers agents to handle any customer query with consistent and accurate responses.
9 out of 10 respondents aged 18-65 preferred to speak with a live service agent directly over the telephone.
Predictive Dialing
Utilize an adaptive dialing algorithm to predictively dial numbers and optimize agent productivity. The number of outbound calls made is based on a predictive algorithm that throttles (or “paces”) the calls so that when a call is connected to a customer a call center agent will be available to handle the call.
An agent working without a predictive dialing may make 20-40 calls an hour (with a connect rate of less than 50%). A predictive dialing feature can make hundreds of dials per hour and improve each agent’s connect rate to near 100%. Agents can conduct 20-30 connected calls an hour.
Agent Payment Report
Agent Payment reports in a dialer contain information about how a specific agent is performing against key metrics, such as average handle time and sales conversion percentage. Sophisticated tools also contain team level statistics so that contact center managers/supervisors and individual agents can see how their performance compares to their teammates’.
Below are some common reports included in Agent Payment Report :
1. Attendance report
2. Average Handling Time
3. Wrap Time
4. Calls Per Hour
Multi-Server Capability
Multi-server systems include more than one server, and these provide service to the customers arriving into the customer queue(s). A multi-Server feature is a customer experience (CX) solution that integrates multiple touchpoints – including voice, text, social media and the web – making them accessible via an Internet server. Dial on a single campaign across multiple Asterisk servers or manage multiple campaigns on a single server for scalability.
Billing Based on Rates
If you want a clear idea of how your spending correlates with productivity in your call center, step one is calculating your Billing Based on Rates. Billing rates are the prices that a company charges for its services. VICIdial Custom Development billing structures to align with your business model.
Here are five factors to consider for your business:
1. Employee Wages and Benefits
2. HR Expenses
3. Call Center Overhead
4. Software Subscriptions
5. Total Calls Answered by Agents
Call Transfer
Call transfers, or call forwarding, is a process of relocating an inbound call to another phone or messaging system. Quite often, an agent encounters an issue which he thinks may be resolved better by another agent and thus he transfers the call. Transfer calls with customer data to closer/verifier on local or remote Asterisk servers for seamless customer support. Call Transfer Rate or CTR indicates the total percentage of calls transferred from one agent to another agent.
This Feature in our VICIdial Custom Development makes employees more available to provide support when they are out of the office. For example, a traveling employee can set up a call forward from a desk phone to a mobile phone to always remain in contact. This makes a company’s labor force far more mobile than if they were tethered to a desk phone.
