Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) Software | Call Routing Solution
What is ACD?
An Automatic Call Distribution software or ACD intelligently routes incoming calls to agents based on predetermined conditions. The routing may depend on several parameters that are convenient for the business. For example, a caller who has selected English as their preferred language would be routed to only English speaking agents.
Call routing is the foundation of any call center software and is essential in streamlining customer communication.
Types of call routing
Sequential routing
In sequential call routing, the calls are routed to agents in a particular sequence that is already set. This could be based on factors like experience, skill set, language proficiency, etc.
Equal routing
In this type of call routing, calls are distributed equally in a round-robin fashion among the agents in a group. It ensures that no agent is burdened with too many calls.
Emergency routing
In the emergency call routing, the call is routed to an available agent, irrespective of their skill or proficiency. This is especially useful in the healthcare industry.
Preferred/ sticky agent routing
The caller is always connected to the preferred agent. This helps in quicker problem resolution as the agent has knowledge of the caller’s concern.
Advantages of an automatic call distribution system
Improved customer satisfaction
Since every call is routed to the right agent, it provides for faster response time, thereby improving customer satisfaction.
Increased productivity
Since all agents are assigned the calls that they have knowledge about, productivity is enhanced
Faster response to priority calls
ACD ensures a faster response to the calls that need immediate action by connecting to expert agents.
Connect agents globally
ACD helps in connecting a globally scattered team by connecting callers with the agent closest to the caller’s location.
