Hodusoft Announce Inclusion of Predictive Dialer in Call Center Software for Telecom Sector 02-May-20 Summary: The current coronavirus crisis imposes an extra burden on communications in the telecom sector. Hodusoft’s predictive dialer inclusion in its call center software helps telecom sector handle the escalation. Hodusoft, a unit of global VoIP tech leader Ecosmob, announced introduction of predictive dialer in its call center software for telecom sector. The current coronavirus crisis has put the brakes on many industries but the telecom sector faces severe pressure. There are people deployed to disseminate information and keep in touch with hundreds of people spread across various locations. There are marketers who must intensify efforts and employ agents to keep dialing thousands of numbers. This challenge is met by the use of predictive dialer software that Hodusoft has now incorporated into its call center software. As matters stand, Hodusoft’s omnichannel call center software already is feature rich, offering voice, chat, SMS, email, video and social media integration. It features intelligent skill based routing and automatic intelligent call distribution. These are useful to handle inbound calls. However, when it comes to outbound calls it is a different matter as agents are tasked with calling thousands of numbers. Manual dialing is out of question and even automatted dialing has its limits since one can get a busy tone or the call may go into an answering machine. Agents in charge of outbound calls will find it frustrating and time wasting. This is where Hodusoft’s predictive dialer proves to be immensely useful in facilitating work and easing the burden on agents. The predictive dialer software and its capabilities influence efficiency and productivity of agents. The simplest predictive dialer takes its inputs from a list of telephone numbers and dials out numbers. The idea is that an agent can handle one call while the dialer monitors the ongoing talk and then starts dialing when it senses the current call is nearing completion. When it dials it can detect a wrong number, a busy tone and answering machine. It will transfer call to the agent only when a human picks up the call. The agent then takes over. Hodusoft incorporates artificial intelligence that actually monitors the ongoing conversation and picks a number from the list based on what it assumes is priority as regards customer service or lead conversion.
