A wallboard that turns red when nobody is free.

Press the buttons. Send callers to a queue, put an agent on break, and watch the longest wait and the service level change color by the same rules as the real wallboard.

Wallboard · break itLive demo

A wallboard for three queues: Support, Sales and Billing. Each queue shows callers waiting, the longest wait, the service level, how many agents are free, on a call, on break or out, and today's answered, abandoned, average wait and callback counts. The longest wait is green up to the queue's target, amber up to three times the target and red beyond, and the words On target, Slow or Late say the same. Service level is green from 80 percent, amber from 60 and red below. A queue with callers waiting and nobody free is flagged No one free. Buttons add callers to a queue or put an agent on break, and each agent can be pressed to change their status.

Agents

Or press any agent to change their status.

Board

Ring strategies

Nine ways to ring. Pick the one that fits your floor.

The agent idle longest, everyone at once, the one with the fewest calls. Add escalation levels and a second wave of agents joins after a wait you set.

  • Callers hear their place in line and an estimated wait, spoken over the hold music.
  • A way out: after a maximum wait, fall back to voicemail, an extension, a ring group or hang-up.
  • VIPs go first. VIP callers jump the line, on by default for every queue.
  • Agents set their own status from the browser phone, the app, or *50, *51 and *52 on any phone.

See call queues

Queue callback

Hang up. Keep your place.

Nobody likes hold music. A caller presses 1 and hangs up. When it is their turn and an agent is free, the system calls them back from your company number and puts them straight through.

See queue callback

On every call

The small details that make agents better.

Know which line is ringing. Tag the outcome. Ask the caller how it went. Each one takes seconds, and every one lands in your reports.

Agents know which line is calling.

Before the caller is put through, the agent hears “Call from Billing”, or words you choose per queue. The greeting always fits the line.

Live demo
“Call from Billing”

Then the caller is connected.

Tag every call with an outcome.

From the browser phone, the app, or *57* and a code within 30 minutes of the call. Queue reports count every code, and a CSV carries them out.

Live demo

Tagged Sale. From a desk phone: *57*1

Ask callers how it went.

The caller stays on after the agent hangs up and rates the call from 1 to 5 on the keypad. Averages by queue and by agent land in reports, and today's score sits on the wallboard.

Live demo

After your call, please rate it from 1 to 5.

Caller pressed 4. It counts toward the queue and agent averages.

Caller details before the ring.

The portal pops the caller's name, number and the line they dialed a second before the phone rings, on extensions, ring groups and queues.

Real screenSupport console with callers waiting in a queue, agents and their status, and an incoming-call popup

Agents run their own status.

Available, on break or logged out from the portal, the browser phone, the app, or any phone. An agent who misses too many offered calls goes on break, so callers never ring an empty desk.

Supervisors

Listen. Whisper. Barge in.

Supervisors step into any live call from the switchboard. Listen in to coach later, whisper to guide the agent mid-call, or barge in and join the conversation.

See every live call

The switchboard shows who is talking to whom, so a supervisor can step in the moment a call needs help.

Coach new agents live

Whisper so only the agent hears you. The caller carries on with their agent as if nothing happened.

Join when it matters

Barge in to take part in the call. Everyone on it hears everyone.

Set it once per queue.

Switch whisper on, write the line the agent hears and choose the wrap-up codes. Every queue can have its own.

  • Whisper plays before the caller connects, spoken by the phone system's own voice.

  • Post-call survey asks your own question and tells callers to stay on the line.
