• you can define list of contacts that the automatic outbound dialer uses to generate calls. A contact list can also be used as a backlist in a Queue/IVR campaign to categorize contacts that have enlisted for Do-Not-Call to prevent them from receiving calls.

• you can define custom fields that allows you to enter addition information about a contact. This makes it more efficient to gather important information and helps you to better understand your customer.

Multi-Channels Setup and Management

Voice

The XCALLY MOTION Voice channel allows you to define all the mechanisms by which the inbound, outbound or internal voice calls can be managed. When a voice interaction is received in your Customer Care, you can define the functions to be executed. You can play a Playback sound file, route calls to an IVR, route call to a queue of Agents and so many more. If the call is routed to a Queue, any Agent available is notified according a a routing logic configured to the Queue they belong to.

The following is a list of functions that can be performed by the Administrator in the Voice channel:

• Configure SIP Connections (Trunks) between your phone system and a VOIP provider for inbound/outbound calls

Voice Campaigns Autodial (Bull)

Motion Bull is an automated outbound dialer that generates calls from a list and connects contacts to agents or forwards the call to an IVR based on the campaign. This improves call handing efficiency by avoiding agents from dialing numbers manually.

The Dialer can be used for several kind of applications, like:

• Call Back applications

• Booking reminders

• Automatic Surveys

• Notification on the status of orders

• Tele-selling and Telemarketing

• Tele-alarms

• more...

There are two type of Campaigns:

1. Queue Campaign is used when it's necessary for the contacts to interaction with an agent. In this type of campaign, calls are generated only if there is at least one available agent.

   There are several outbound dialing methods:

   • progressive dialing where calls are generated only when agents become available and the number of calls is equal to the number of available agents

   • predictive dialing, where the number of generated calls is based on prediction of how many agents will be available at the time when calls pass the dialer and on the estimated success rate of reaching the called party)

   • power dialing, which differs from a progressive or predictive dialer for it utilizes a manually-configured calls-to-agent ratio

   • preview dialing, where the dialer selects a customer record from a call list and proposes this call to an agent, who can accept it and start the call or refuse it.

2. IVR Campaign is usually used for surveys and does not depend on any queue status or availability of agent in a queue.

In a Motion bull campaign, the Administrator can:

• define a time interval during which the dialer is allowed to perform outbound calls. 

• use Recall-me feature that enables an agent to set a recall request after managing a contact so that the system recall the customer and to pass the call to the specific agent.

• use a blacklist to skip contacts in the blacklist during the automatic dialing.

• real-time environment to monitor agents and queue campaigns in real-time.

E-Mail

XCALLY Motion offers a web client email specific for Customer Care needs. The XCALLY MOTION Email Channel allows you to define an Email Account so that several Agents belonging to specific Email Queues, can share a single mailbox  similar to a voice queue.

You can configure IMAP accounts, already existing on your provider: as soon as a new email message arrives, the IMAP server notifies XCALLY Motion which manages it providing a standard interface for all types of mailing systems. This allows Agent to manage the mail interaction transparently as well as any other request (SMS, chat, and so on).

For an Email account, the Administrator can:

• define a Template with a default body and text style that will be used for all outgoing email messages from this account. This will create a uniform message layout.

Chat

 The XCALLY MOTION Web Chat channel allows you to define the Web Sites where you will be able to insert a Web Chat Snippet, so that your Customers can interact with your Customer Care Agents using live chat messages. 

When a customer starts a chat, the chat request is passed to the Agents belonging to that Chat Queue. The Chat request is then accepted by an available agent and the interaction starts. During the chat session, the agent and the customer can exchange files, use emoticons, and so on. The chat session ends when the agent or the customer close it.

When the chat interaction cannot be managed, because of a pick of activity or congestion in your organization (namely, your agents are all busy and cannot take this new chat request), the customer can be requested to leave a message in order to contact him later.

This allows your organization not to lose contacts and to manage them as soon as you can.
