What is a cloud contact center?

A cloud-based contact center (formerly known as a call center, and sometimes also referred to as CCaaS, or "Contact Center as a Service") is essentially a type of software that stores data in the cloud and allows for customer communications over the Internet rather than relying on-premises hardware. (Using cloud platforms comes with quite a few benefits—more on that later.)

Massive scalability

Not only is Dialpad easy to set up and implement without needing any hardware, you can also easily add (and remove) contact center agents, manage their phone numbers, and more—all in your Dialpad account.

Sentiment analysis single item v2

Tools for super-supervisors

You can’t monitor every customer interaction in real time, but you can still help your agents provide a positive customer experience. Dialpad's unique artificial intelligence technology, Dialpad Ai, not only transcribes calls (in real time!), it shows supervisors the sentiment for each active call. They can view all calls, see which ones have negative sentiment, and scan the live transcript to get full context before deciding whether to jump in.

RTA card single item card v2

Real-time training—at scale

Dialpad Ai can also automatically pop up Real-time Assist (RTA) cards when certain keywords are spoken on a call. Competitor names? Pricing questions? Refund requests? Supervisors can create RTA cards for all of these topics and more to empower agents—and create a better agent experience. It’s basically an on-demand coaching feature!

Greater cost efficiencies

Beyond the lower initial price tag, the total cost of ownership is also lower with cloud-based contact center solutions compared to traditional contact center technology. From hardware costs to setup and installation fees, to regular product updates, running a call center is typically much more budget-friendly with a cloud option. CCaaS solutions also have predictable, fixed pricing models and monthly or annual subscription fees.

Salesforce integration single item card v2

Integrations with tools you already use

Dialpad integrates with popular customer experience tools and CRMs like Zendesk, HubSpot, Salesforce, and more to automatically log customer data and provide an embedded dialer for making calls without leaving those tools. Or, build your own custom automations with APIs and webhooks!

Call Routing Options Single Item Card v2

Call routing

With Dialpad's IVR (interactive voice response) feature, you can help your customers self-service and connect themselves to the right person or department quickly—just by setting intuitive routing rules for your IVR. Take that manual call routing work off your agents’ hands (and give them more time to focus on improving customer satisfaction).

Call analytics single item card v2

Call analytics and reporting

To make sure your call center performance keeps improving, having access to call analytics is key. In Dialpad, you can track metrics like call volume patterns and call times to continuously optimize every step of your customer journey as much as possible.

Any device, anywhere

One big cost-saving opportunity, if you’re open to call center agents using their own devices, is allowing them to BYOD (“bring your own device”). Dialpad works across iOS, Android, PC, and Mac—and also works in web browsers—so supervisors and agents can work from anywhere on any device.
