With PCXCom cloud service, we can quickly set up your employees so they can continue to work from home, making and taking your business calls.

Inbound Calls: for the duration of the Coronavirus emergency, we can route your business 13 / 1300 /1800 numbers and enable your Work-From-Home employees to answer all calls from their home or mobile.  All they need is an internet connection*, computer and ideally a quality headset.

During the COVID-19 Coronavirus emergency, we are waiving set-up fees, lock-in contracts and minimum spends.  Note: To meet our obligations with the Telecommunications Act we still require an agreement with you.  Our COVID-19 service is a pre-paid service meaning that provided your account is in credit, you have access to the service.

Included in the COVID-19 PCXCom cloud service

Automatic Call Distribution (ACD)

The ACD is a highly sophisticated queuing function with unlimited Queues and number of lines. Features also include;  Music on Hold, Estimated Answering Time; Automated Call-Back to hang-ups; Automated Call-Back requests; Skills-Based Routing; Call Priority Options, Agents Queue prompts and more.

Interactive Voice Response (IVR)

IVR’s can be configured as simple DTMF set-ups such as push ‘1’ for Sales, ‘2’ for Accounts etc; or alternatively sophisticated configurations that incorporate Text to Speech (TTS) for personal verification applications or the likes. Any number of prompts can be set-up and changed at a Supervisor level as required.

Automated Speech Recognition (ASR)

Speech Recognition technology is often used for rapid response applications and/or those applications that facilitate the mobility of customers ie; applications that require call recipients to verify their identity is often far more effective using ASR, as against a standard IVR.

Speech Recognition technology enhances the customer experience by removing layers in the traditional IVR. Referred to as Intelligent Call Steering (ICS), the technology quickly guides customers to agents that are best equipped to assist them with enquiries.

Fully Blended Environment

Inbound Contact Management & Outbound predictive dialler campaigns can operate either independently or alternatively in a fully blended environment to further optimise performance. Importantly, inbound contacts are automatically prioritised over outbound contacts as a means of attending to these  customers with immediacy.

Skills Based Routing

Customers are automatically routed to the next available agent with the most appropriate skill and/or skill level. Notably, agents can have multiple skills and skill levels, as can campaigns/queues can have multiple skills. Agents with appropriate skill-sets can facilitate communication across multiple channels ie; Voice, Email, SMS, Web and Social Media.

Data Management

Data can be easily exported from the PCXCom call centre system at any point of time. Likewise, produce outcome reports based on relevant wrap-ups such as ‘completed surveys’ for your QA team to then confirm the accuracy of outcomes upon review of call recordings.

In both graphical and statistical displays, Supervisors and Management alike will have absolute transparency of Contact Centre operations via the Supervisor screen, Contact Centre APP, and Wallboards;

Queue Management Summary & Detail

The Real-Time Queue summary includes; Available Agents, Calls Waiting, Abandonment Rates, Average Wait Times and Service Level Performance, all available at a glance. Likewise, the ‘Length of Time’ in a queue is available in real-time.

Notably, agent performance can be measured simultaneously across several sites. In addition, individual agent login, break, call start, finish and wrap-ups are recorded; as well as a count-down clock and alarm for agent breaks available on the agent screen.

Wallboard Display

Operational performance is on public display with the customisable and modulated PCXCom wallboard. Determine the matrix best suited for a particular day or campaign ie; multiple KPI’s; queue wait-time, team performance etc.

Virtual Auto Attendant

The Cloud-based, Virtual Auto Attendant efficiently manages inbound phone calls, to either direct calls to the appropriate place, or alternatively handle calls without human intervention ie; payment gateways or recorded messages. Customers phoning a 1300 number are greeted by customised prompts as either a standard IVR with DTMF requests ie; “push 1 to talk to Customer Service etc, or Speech Recognition ie; “to verify your account details, please tell me your account number” – or it can be configured as a combination of both.

The service comes complete with a VPN, 1300 numbers, a management screen to make changes to queues, and the capacity to segment billing to different accounts.

* Home Internet Connection – internet connections to homes vary greatly, for best results a high speed, cabled internet connection works best with telephone calls. Wireless internet connections work however they can experience call quality degradation and call drops. Wherever possible, at home agents should connect directly to their modem / router using a Cat5 cable and not use Wireless internet.
