Automatic Call Distribution - ACD

Automatic Call Distribution, better known as ACD, typically makes call handling faster and easier. The ACD system recognises incoming calls and routes them according to a pre-defined set of rules. Additionally, Telrad's ACD will play announcements to encourage the caller to wait for the next available operator.

Telrad Connegy's ACD package also records statistical information about the call that can be retrieved real-time from a supervisor's phone, or historically via an external reporting package. ACD is especially effective for companies which expend significant resources on manning telephones (order lines, service centres, travel agents, banks and insurance companies, information lines, etc)

How can ACD benefit your business?

The telephone is often your first and most frequent contact with customers. And the way you handle incoming calls speaks volumes about your business. Do phones ring constantly? Are callers on hold for long periods? If so, your company may be a candidate for an ACD System.

Any business, department or work group can gain control of incoming calls by routing them more efficiently without adding staff. Here's how it works...Incoming calls are recognised and automatically answered. The calls are then intelligently distributed to groups or individuals based on your flexible routing specifications.

If your staff are busy, the ACD holds the call in queue until someone becomes available. When a staff member becomes available, the call on hold the longest is sent to that individual.
