How Business VoIP Phones Help Manage Call Center Efficiency

In the past, call centers were something that only large enterprises could afford to run.

However, on today’s technology-driven business landscape, even small businesses are launching dynamic call centers so they can effectively serve and interact with their current and future customers.

Nevertheless, a major concern for all businesses is, of course, efficiency. Indeed, enhancing customer service and even boosting sales via a call center isn’t worthwhile if the costs are excessive -- or prohibitive. Fortunately, that’s where a hosted VoIP phone system makes a game changing difference. Consider these important ways that VoIP phone systems can help with your call center efficiency.

5 Key Ways Business VoIP Phone Systems Drive Call Center Efficiency: 

• Cost Efficiency 

A VoIP phone system only requires minimal up front costs that are typically 50 percent or less than a traditional phone system. What’s more, there are no maintenance fees and network costs, which ensures ongoing low total cost of ownership (TCO). 

• Call Queuing and Handling Efficiency 

A VoIP phone system enables businesses to queue calls within their provider’s cloud network – rather than their customer’s location within the PBX -- and ultimately route calls to an agent when one is available, regardless of their physical location. The result is a dramatic improvement in call queuing and handling efficiency. 

• Efficient Scaling 

Call center volumes can spike and ebb based on seasonal factors, during campaigns and sales, as a result of new product launches, and so on. A VoIP phone system enables businesses to efficiently and rapidly scale either up or down, but without interrupting their workflows or having to change their infrastructure. 

• Expansion Efficiency 

A VoIP phone system allows businesses to provide their call center agents with complete access to the system regardless of where they’re physically located. As a result, they can efficiently expand their call centers across the state, country or globe. 

• Efficient Integration 

A VoIP phone system allows businesses to deliver PBX and automated call distribution functionality, yet at the same time, achieve seamless integration with unified communication (UC) services. As a result, call center agents can efficiently and easily transition between various environments (call center, remote location, home office, etc.), while delivering a consistent and positive customer experience.
