Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) is a system that efficiently routes incoming calls to a group of agents, placing callers in a queue with hold music or announcements to prevent lost calls. It's especially beneficial in call centers, where it allows multiple agents to assist customers without waiting for specific individuals. Key features include call logging, advanced routing, performance tracking and CRM integration, all designed to enhance customer satisfaction and operational efficiency.
An agent group, also known as automatic call distribution (ACD), is a system that routes incoming calls to a specific group of agents. Before connecting to an agent, callers are placed inside a queue, allowing agents to deal with incoming calls without losing other callers to busy signals or unanswered phones. While waiting, callers hear music and pre-recorded announcements. Agent groups can be monitored using a number of monitoring methods.
