Benefits of configuring  business hours in your phone system

Analyze performance, route calls to various teams based on business hours logic

 

Route based on work timings

Your phone conversations can be routed to the right teams based on their work timings. You can choose the right timezone of the team (anywhere in the world) and assign a business hours based routing logic for that team. Needless to say, break timings can also be incorporated thereby giving you the most accurate picture of your phone operations.

Why create custom business hours for your teams?

Different teams work differently. Finance likes to wind up by six, while Support works round the clock, and Marketing likes to party all night. However, your call center management software only works one way: round the clock. This means, regardless of what working hours your team keeps, they have to make sure that someone has an eye on the line to make sure all calls are answered.

With Freshcaller's business hours configurations, you can ensure that your calls go to the right teams during work times, during work-breaks, and post working hours automatically. Head to the Call Metrics page to filter out all the calls post working hours and figure out whether your current routing plans are adequate to handle them all. Download the Call Volume report to get an idea of your call trends and sit with your team administrators and supervisors to re-work your battle plans.
