In order for organizations to extend the use of an application to a telephone, IVR expert Angel offers its SupportbyFone with CTI (News - Alert). Part of the Angel SalesforcebyFone solutions suite, SupportByFone integrates with the Salesforce.com (News
- Alert) CTI Screen Pop to streamline the many crucial functions found in the caller experience.
Using a Salesforce.com account, contact centers can seamlessly create a customized, efficient call experience for customers that eliminates the need for hardware of software. Instead, a unique login provides agents with complete access to calls and cases for maximized productivity, boosted lead data accuracy, agent efficiency, and, most importantly, caller satisfaction.
Once a caller dials into a support representative, complete caller information is available, thus expediting caller resolution. Using this information, which may include name, title and company or even call history and case number, calls are routed to the appropriate agent for effective linking of caller inquiries to current individual or corporate account data.
By connecting a Salesforce.com application to a phone, all support automation can be centralized so callers can automatically check the status of a case, open a new case, update a case description, or transfer to a live support rep. Using a fully integrated IVR, customers can perform all these functions without speaking to a live agent.
With one-click outbound calling, users can easily place outbound calls by clicking on a phone number from a case record. In turn, Salesforce.com application logs all placed calls, including call results and details and new case information to guarantee orderly tracking of call activities.
Salesforce.com’s reporting capabilities are quite handy when it comes to SupportByFone, as call details can be viewed in Dashboard mode. Users gain access to caller action requests, call termination types, survey results and case details for complete comprehension of a call center’s success.
