Ctelo Voice Channel is an add-on to Dynamics Voice Channel. It makes it possible to use the existing telecom vendor and phone numbers of the company to enable full call center capabilities in Dynamics Customer Service.
Enable your customer service representatives to communicate with customers on the phone to resolve issues in a native integrated experience using Dynamics 365 Customer Service. While many customers increasingly use chat, SMS messages, and social media to engage and request support from organizations, phone calls are an essential communication channel. With the voice channel, Omnichannel for Customer Service provides agents with the ability to receive and make public switched telephone network (PSTN) calls through a native calling experience in Dynamics 365, with real-time AI-powered features such as live call transcription, sentiment analysis, and AI-based suggestions to boost agent productivity. Omnichannel for Customer Service also provides rich analytics and insights, including AI-driven topic clustering and call insights.
Typically, customer service organizations must manually integrate standalone telephony and customer relationship management (CRM) solutions, resulting in fragmented experiences across engagement channels for agents and customers. Ultimately, these stitched-together solutions from multiple providers are complex to roll out and maintain and create data silos with disconnected insights into customer interactions and agent performance across channels.
