What is a call forwarding service?
최종 업데이트: August 16, 2024
A call forwarding service is a phone system feature that automatically redirects incoming calls to another phone number or device, ensuring that calls are answered promptly, even if the intended recipient is unavailable. Call forwarding services can also redirect calls at certain times or days to specific locations to consolidate service providers or establish a local presence. The software often includes features such as customizable forwarding rules, voicemail options, intelligent call routing, and call analytics. It helps improve customer service by reducing missed calls and ensuring seamless communication.

Unify conversations for a better customer experience
The Zendesk omnichannel Agent Workspace empowers agents to ditch the juggling act. They can handle calls, voicemails, and texts in the same space where they manage emails, chat, and social messaging, boosting efficiency. From the Agent Home, users can filter tickets by status and channel, manage SLAs, and view performance stats.
Agents can easily access customer profiles, including purchase history, previous tickets, and communication history, within a single interface. This holistic view enables agents to understand customer needs and preferences, allowing for personalized and empathetic interactions.
Centralize communication with the Agent Workspace.
Streamline processes with automatic ticket creation and call recording
Organize requests with an omnichannel ticketing system.
When you receive a call, Zendesk automatically generates a ticket, capturing essential details such as the caller's information, call duration, and timestamp. This ensures that every customer interaction is logged and tracked without manual intervention, reducing the risk of inaccurate or incomplete records.
Call recording captures entire conversations, providing a valuable resource for future reference, training, and quality assurance. These recordings are linked to the corresponding tickets, allowing agents and managers to review the discussions in detail, address issues accurately, and continuously improve service quality.
Boost call review efficiency with generative AI
Zendesk AI-powered voice QA streamlines the evaluation of voice conversations by automatically summarizing calls and transcriptions—which also speeds up call wrap-up times for agents.
AI analyzes 100 percent of your calls across agents, languages, and BPOs. It detects churn risks, response delays, unusual conversations, and missing call recording disclosures, providing crucial compliance insights and identifying key call center training opportunities.
Use AI-powered quality assurance software.
Optimize call center performance with robust analytics
Gain data-driven insights with Zendesk workforce management software.
Zendesk analytics provide granular metrics, empowering you to make informed decisions. With real-time insights into call duration, wait times, resolution rates, and customer satisfaction, managers can quickly identify trends and pinpoint bottlenecks to make swift adjustments.
Workforce management tools reduce overstaffing costs by using AI to predict staffing needs based on your data and automatically scheduling your team. Minimize call center burnout by efficiently managing schedules, providing agents with clear visibility into their shifts, and recognizing top performers.
Operate with a secure and reliable solution
With industry-standard encryption protocols, Zendesk secures voice data during transmission and storage, safeguarding against unauthorized access and data breaches. The platform also complies with global regulatory standards such as GDPR and HIPAA, reinforcing its commitment to customer data privacy.
