It gives contact center agents the ability to engage customers through multiple channels including: voice, email, chat, and SMS. Administrators have the ability to set up multi-channel, skills-based routing, and advanced IVR capabilities with a visual call flow editor. The real-time reporting capabilities also help administrators monitor key metrics and improve call center efficiencies or identify areas for business performance improvement.
