FAQ, mobile switchboard

In our mobile switchboard the employees can be divided into call groups so for example maintenance, customer service and sales make their own call group. If a member in the call group gets a phone call that they cannot take, the call is directed to another member of the group in the order that it has been. Every company can create their own call groups as needed as well as the way the calls are redirected and what order they go in. The phone call can come to everybody’s phone at the same time and the first available person takes it. Or the phone call can go to the person who has answered the least calls recently. All the members in the call group can also see if the customer has been called back. There are many different options in the service to cover the needs of each business.

The switchboard always includes a control panel that enables the user to make all the modifications by themselves. The user can, for example, record messages or add new users to the switchboard.

Our mobile switchboard has many good special qualities and it is possible to add extra functionalities if needed.

In our mobile switchboard the employees can be divided into call groups so that for example, maintenance, customer service and sales have their own call groups. The most important special function that we have is that the call back can be seen by every member of the call group. So if a customer has called and nobody was able to answer the call, the first person to become available again can call them back. Other members of the group can see when the customer has been called back and they will not try to call back as well. This is a very important quality from the customer’s point of view as they will not be disturbed many times about the same matter.
