EASY TO SET UP, EASY TO ADMIN
Virtual call centre
Empower your agents and supervisors to deliver exceptional customer experiences from anywhere in the world. Dialpad Ai Contact Centre amplifies remote working capabilities by providing you with a centralised, cloud-based platform for all of your cloud contact centre communication needs.
What is a virtual call centre?
Instead of being housed in a singular, physical office space, a virtual call centre is composed of a team of geographically-dispersed agents.
Using specialised virtual call centre software—or better still, a contact centre alternative—these agents can deliver professional customer service from any location. All they need is a good internet connection and they’re all set up to work just as well as an on-premises team.
Essential virtual contact centre features that you get with Dialpad
💡 What is the difference between a call centre and a contact centre?
As the name suggests, a call centre only deals with telephone-based communications. Sales and customer service interactions are limited to inbound and/or outbound phone calls. In addition to facilitating telephone communications, a cloud contact centre encompasses other communication channels. Whether they be SMS, email, instant messaging, social media, or others, cloud contact centre software enables agents to deliver streamlined experiences on their customers’ preferred channels.
Fast deployment
Set up your virtual contact centre teams and assign phone numbers—all in your online account, without purchasing hardware. Dialpad works across your existing devices and allows you to manage your own contact centre easily and efficiently.

For virtual offices that want to deliver customer service across a variety of different channels, a virtual contact centre solution is a must. It centralises customer communications to deliver streamlined, unified experiences, all without your agents needing to be in the same location.
