Online Scheduling and Automated Call Handling for the VOIP Industry
Overview
The VOIP industry leader needed a custom solution to streamline call handling and improve agent efficiency. Their goal was to create a “Caller ID on Steroids” platform, which would display not only the caller’s name but also provide a comprehensive overview of the customer’s importance and history instantly, as soon as the call was received.
The solution involved integrating the system with Labtrac, a widely-used database in the dental industry. By synchronizing data via schedulers, the system could provide real-time insights into the caller’s:
- Number of past orders.
- Historical interactions.
- Overall importance to the business.
The Challenges:
A leading name in the VOIP industry faced a significant challenge with their dental industry clients. These clients struggled with handling incoming calls effectively due to the time-consuming process of gathering customer information from multiple systems. Agents were tasked with manually:
- Looking up customer details.
- Checking order history and customer importance.
- Assessing past interactions to make informed decisions.
This manual process was not only labor-intensive but also prone to errors, leading to reduced productivity and negative impacts on customer satisfaction.
