Call Center Solution by Vulcan Telecom

Call Center Phone Services

Vulcan Telecom's call center solution is to provide the monitoring tools and reporting capabilities that are typically needed to manage the day-to-day operations of a call center.

The core of this functionality is found in the PBX portal, which our experienced staff can help you fully set up for your needs.

Everything you need can then be found by logging in using the Call Center Administrator role in your PBX portal.

The home page of the call center administrator provided by Vulcan Telecom will show you statistics and reports related to the call queues that the administrator manages.

The statistics table can also display custom statistics for your call center and is configurable, which our experienced staff will be happy to help you with.

The statistics are then colour coded on a scale from red to green, as is customary, and this colour spectrum is automatically generated based on the lower and upper threshold settings for certain aspects of your call centre.

Some definitions for Vulcan Telecom Call Center in PBX portal

Vulcan Telecom Call Center

The primary access level assigned to the call center supervisor is "Call Center Supervisor Scope" - this is the level of access to the PBX portal

The primary screen for users with a higher scope than call center supervisors is the "Home Page/Dashboard" This is the initial screen after logging into the PBX portal.

This screen is of course also accessible to users with call center supervisor privileges or higher.

Custom statistics, which can be configured in terms of lower and upper value limits, can be displayed in the upper right corner of the home page. This is the "Stats Grid"

A value that is set for a given aspect of the call center such that when it is reached, the corresponding value turns yellow is called the "Lower Threshold". 

Logically, this value should be set lower than the upper threshold value. The exception is the case of the service level agreement threshold. This field does not necessarily need to be populated with a value.

In this case, the colour will change to yellow automatically when 70% of the upper threshold is reached.

Users login and out for more efficient routing of calls. An important feature is the administrator portal for an overall view of everything going on in the call system. Statistics are generated for each location and/or user and is also available in the portal. If quotas are important in growing your business, the information in the portal will be essential. The administrator is able to see statistics like the number of calls made or the average amount of time spent on calls for each employee. This will help to understand what is needed to grade your sales team and grow your business.

Call center services include multiple-call distribution, voice mail, call queuing, queue escape, callback option, call overflow, call recording, and night service.

Home Screen of Call Center

 

What can we find on the Vulcan Telecom call center home screen? You can access all call center features from the call center app home screen.

In particular, the most striking aspect of this call center home screen from Vulcan Telecom call center manager is the statistics table. In this section, you will find a summary of the most important metrics. This summary is represented in a simple, clear and concise format. The hotnotes presented here are very telling about the performance of your call center.

In particular, in this main summary statistics table we find the following abbreviations: CW, AWT, AHT, ABN, CA, CV.

But what do these abbreviations mean? It's simple.

  1. CW stands for Call Waiting
  2. AWT stands for Average Waiting Time
  3. AHT stands for Average Handling Time
  4. Abbreviation ABN stands for Abandonment Rate
  5. Abbreviation CA stands for Calls Received
  6. Abbreviation CV stands for Call Volume

This table of statistics can of course be modified and reconfigured according to your needs using the "Settings" button located directly above the "Table of statistics" panel.

After clicking on this button, a pop-up panel with two tabs will open. "Stats Grid" is the name of the first default tab and it will give us access to configure our own necessary thresholds (lower and upper) for the generated statistics within the Stats Grid. At the same time, here we can set the statistics we wish to display in the Stats Grid.

On the second tab labeled "General", we have the option to configure the service level agreement according to our needs.

In particular, this setting can be used to monitor whether the call has been answered within an acceptable time (in seconds) according to our settings and needs in relation to the service level agreement. The setting of this value is subsequently taken into account when calculating the service level percentage statistics.

Vulcan Telecom Call Center Features

1
Employee login and logout allows calls to be sent to only those on duty.
2
Multiple-call distribution gives your company the ability to handle calls according to a chosen policy. Calls may be distributed in a round-robin format, or simultaneous to all parties, or by weighted preset determining factors.
3
Voice Mail is one of those features you definitely need for a growing business.
4
Call Queuing may be necessary to handle the amount of incoming calls to your phone system. We have all been placed in the “queue” for the next available representative. Although it can be frustrating for callers, queueing is an equitable way to handle sales calls between employees who are logged-in. With our fast-paced lifestyle, we are not inclined to wait very long in the queue unless it is an absolute necessity. (Music on hold helps)
5
Queue Escape allows the caller to be transferred from the waiting queue to where the caller can leave a voice mail.
6
Callback Option is another means of escaping the queue. Once this option is selected, the caller is able to leave their number for a return call.
7
Call Overflow allows the company to have a backup number for incoming calls to be forwarded to when the system cannot handle any more calls.
8
Call Recording is an important feature for ensuring call quality and compliance. A recording maybe important for customer disputes and complaints
9
Night Service features gives callers options for calls made during non-business hours
Vulcan Telecom Call Center Features

A value that is set for a given aspect of the call center such that when it is reached the corresponding value in the statistics changes color to red is called the "Upper Threshold". Logically, this value should be set higher than the lower threshold value. The exception is the case of the service level agreement threshold.

And what is this "Service Level Agreement"? This value tells us whether the call was answered in a sufficiently short time (measured in seconds). This service level agreement value is usually used in the calculation of the service level percentage statistic.
