Call Center (Automatic Call Distribution)

If you’re ready to revolutionize the way your team members communicate with your customers and with each other, then you’re ready for our hosted business phone systems. Here are some of the ways that we can leverage VoIP to work for your business:

Agents: A queue sends incoming calls to individual agents. Each agent must be assigned to at least one queue.
Pause and Unpause: A call center agent can pause calls as needed.
Queues: When agents are unavailable, calls are routed to a smart call queue. Calls may be prioritized by value, urgency, or any other customizable rules.
Reason Codes: When an agent chooses to pause calls, they can enter a Reason Code to provide justification.
Tally Codes: An agent may need to assign a queued call to a category, such as for billing purposes. The Tally Code indicates the nature of the call.
Zero Out: A caller may leave a queue by pressing “0.” They can then choose other routing options, such as voicemail.

Call Conferencing

Call Management

1-6 Digit Extension Dialing: Our hosted VoIP PBX extensions may consist of one to six digits.
Attended Transfer: With this feature, you can announce the party before transferring them to an extension, group, or phone number.
Auto Attendant Answering: This allows you to connect a phone number to an Auto Attendant. Callers can choose from the presented options.
Automatic Call Distribution (ACD): This feature routes calls to agents in a call center. It’s based on factors such as priority levels, availability, and behavior.
Barge: Users can listen to the selected extension and even speak with the internal caller. However, their voice will not be heard by the external caller.
Burstable Virtual Call Paths: A “burstable” call path is one that is configurable to develop extra call paths on demand. In other words, this provides additional calls beyond the number of paths you purchased up to 10 additional paths. Customers are automatically billed for extra call paths. These extra call paths are available for the duration of the billing period.
Busy Call Forwarding: Calls are automatically forwarded to an extension, group, or phone number. This occurs when the phone is busy.
Call Forwarding: This feature forwards calls through the portal, or your device or softphone. Do note that device or softphone forwarding functionality may vary by manufacturer.
Call Hold: A caller is placed on hold and music or a commercial is played.
Call Park: A parked call can be picked up by another extension.
Call Queue: Route calls on a first-in, first-out basis to an extension or group, such as available agents. Callers may automatically hear an announcement, such as: “Thank you for calling. All available agents are busy. Please hold for the next available agent, or press ‘1’ to leave a message.”
Call Recording: This feature selectively records calls for training or documentation. It requires a dedicated server.
Call Routing Time Frames: Routing decisions are made based on time and date. You can configure multiple schedules if your departments have varying hours of operation.
Call Waiting Indicator: While another call is in progress, this feature indicates the incoming call and information.
Caller ID: You can customize how your outgoing Caller ID appears.

Direct Inward Dialing (DID): You can have a number dial directly to a device or extension.

Disable Outbound Dialing: You can prevent specific extensions from making outbound calls.
Do Not Disturb: This feature simulates a busy signal. Incoming calls are sent directly to voicemail or other routing options.
Find Me (Digital Assistant): Configurable at each extension, this feature is like a personal assistant that can find you at up to five locations. Each time the caller tries a location, they are prompted to announce themselves. If you are unavailable, the caller can leave a message or try the next location.
Forward Calls Locally or Remotely via Phone or Web: You can set up call forwarding easily from any location.
Incoming Call Blocking: You can prevent any incoming phone numbers from calling to your hosted VoIP PBX.

No Answer Call Forwarding: When you do not pick up a call, the call is automatically forwarded to an extension, group, or phone number.
Office Intercom: You can dial another user’s extension and activate their phone speaker if you need to make an announcement. Compatibility of this feature varies by brand and model.

Outgoing Call Blocking: You can block calls to specific numbers or services, such as a 1-900 number.
Ring Groups: This feature allows multiple extensions to become a group. Then, calls can be sequentially or simultaneously routed to that group.
Shared Virtual Call Paths: Calls can be delivered to and from the PSTN, either to SIP trunks or hosted endpoints. Location is irrelevant, as the calls are shared by all of the hosted PBX’s endpoints. You can purchase any number of call paths. Bandwidth is typically limited to 80 Kbps per call.
Speed Dial: A predetermined phone number can be automatically dialed.
Unattended Transfer: This transfers a call to an extension, group, or number. No announcement of the party is made.
Voicemail: Choose an announce-only voice mailbox or a voice mailbox with an extension. Customers can receive a prerecorded message after being routed through an Auto Attendant or extension.
Voicemail to Email: This handy feature allows the hosted PBX to automatically send an email about each call to an address in your company portal. Important details about the call are included in the email, along with an attached WAV file. You may choose to set up auto-delete of these emails.

Endpoint Templates: We’ve streamlined the process of adding new phone models and vendors to our platform with our configurable endpoint templates. The templates may include button programming, custom branding, logos, and much more.
International Termination: Request our highly competitive international rates.
Shared Line Appearance: This feature allows each phone to have predefined line keys. Calls to that line will be delivered to every phone with that line key. Any phone can pick up the call and all others will see that it is in use. Calls cannot be transferred from that line. However, they can be put on hold, or announced and picked up on the same phone or any other phone with the same line key.
