OXON contact center
OXON connects all the channels to one easy to use platform and collects all the history of chats from all channels: calls, emails, web-chat and etc. In that way contact team of Novaturas will always have all the information they need and will be able to offer a deal or solve a problem much faster with all data in front of them. The team leaders or head of the center will see all the statistics: how each agent is working, how many deals they closed, how fast they react to problems, efficiency of team and etc. Reporting system will allow leaders to get reports any time they want, once or twice a weak, month or year. They also can choose what data they want to get; the information will be sent to their emails.
Web-chat
At first if client is connecting Novaturas web-chat he will talk to chat-bot. He will be able to ask about prices, travel destinations, special offer, last minute deals and etc. If chat-bot can’t give a final answer to client or can’t solve the other issues he will be automatically connected to live-agent to talk in real time.
Chat-bot
Chat-bot - most innovating tool in CRM at the moment. It allows to save your recourses of time, money and do not disturb live-agent with common issues. It can track client services, give answer for his trip information, time, sent you a payment bill, etc. If bot doesn’t know a correct answer for your problem or can’t help you in other ways, it will connect you to live-agent. The chat-bot can be customized by the company; it allows you to make bot program as smart as you want.
Inbound and outbound calls, IVR, PBX, Skill Based Routing system
All inbound calls are divided by Skill Based Routing System, when people are calling to Novaturas IVR system, they have to choose in what purpose they are calling (check status of their incoming holiday, contact with his travel agent and etc.) If they are calling for second type the PBX system will already recognize their number and will connect them to the same agent as they have talked before, if that agent can’t talk at that moment system will connect client with random agent who will have all the information about customer. Outbound calls: There are 5 different calling types in OXON contact center: manual, semi automatic, automatic preview dialer, predictive dialer. There are possibilities to log all your sales orders during the call to our built-in CRM or send automatic SMS and Email after the call. Or smart campaigns such as configuring of automatic dialer modes, products, ordering and etc. With OXON outbound call system is easy to make offers for clients, do sales or marketing. Agents can send massive emails or SMS for costumers from lists created in OXON.
