Enable Remote Work With Exotel’s Virtual Call Centre Software
Looking to power your customer-facing team during COVID-19? Setup a remote call centre for your sales and support teams in just 30 mins.
What is a virtual call center software?
A virtual call center lets you route calls directly to agents’ mobile phones. Instead of a typical setup where agents are chained to their desks, a virtual call center enables agents to work remotely from anywhere, anytime. Since virtual call centers are cloud-based, there’s no need to go through the hassle of setting up expensive and bulky equipment like EPABX systems.
Virtual Call Centre vs Traditional On-Premise Call Centre : Benefits
Route calls to mobile
After the initial setup, agents only require a mobile phone to manage both inbound or outbound calls. As calls are routed to the agent’s phone, there’s no dependency on the internet.
No geographical limitations
With a remote call center, you get the flexibility of hiring agents from any part of the world. It is especially useful if your support relies on people working in different timezones.
Lower setup costs
Setting up a virtual call center doesn’t require you to purchase additional hardware or other equipment needed for in-house call center operation. You can set up everything, including agents in a jiffy.
Deliver great voice experiences
Since all the calls over the PSTN network, voice quality is independent of the agent’s internet connection. Forget call drops or latency issues due to low bandwidth. No need for setting up a voice logger either.
Support remote working
Allow your agents to work from anywhere, including their home, a cafe, or while they are traveling. Never face a resource crunch in adverse situations. You also get the flexibility of easily adding and removing agents.
Overcome the disadvantages of a VPN
Forget the challenges (like call drops or inconsistent voice quality) that comes with contact centers powered using a VPN or WebRTC. With Exotel all calls are routed over the PSTN network and is independent of the agent’s internet connection.
