In early times, call routing was done manually by human operators using switchboards. However today, this process is entirely automated which is why it is often referred to as Automated Call Routing. There are several factors based on which these routing rules can be defined, such as:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>According to the Time of the Day <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Calls arriving after business hours can be directly routed to the night shift team or sent to voicemail.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>The Language Preferred by the Caller<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; Customers are connected with agents who can communicate effectively in their preferred language.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Type of Service or Product <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Calls are directed to agents with expertise in a specific product\/service the caller is interested in.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>The Status of Caller\u2019s Account<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; Prioritizing calls from high-value clients to provide them with personalized service.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Location of the Caller <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Based on the caller&#8217;s geographical location, calls are directed to appropriate regional teams.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Agent Schedule and Availability <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Based on the workload and real-time availability of the agents, calls can be distributed evenly.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Interactive Voice Response Selection<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; Calls are directed based on the choice made by the callers using the IVR menus.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Call History and Customer Data<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; Based on past interactions, calls can be routed to the same agent they previously interacted with.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Often, it is assumed that call routing is only useful for companies with high call volume so that they can efficiently distribute the calls among the agents. But that\u2019s not the whole truth. Call routing is equally useful for companies, small or big, that want their incoming business calls to reach the right person or team.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Expert Suggestion: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Set up Call Routing in a straightforward manner. Outline all typical destinations where you want inbound calls to reach. As you expand, you can incorporate more advanced call routing options.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_Call_Routing_Different_From_Call_Forwarding\"><\/span>Is Call Routing Different From Call Forwarding?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a common dilemma. Automated Call Routing considers various factors like time, location, agent skills, etc. to direct calls to the agents. On the other hand, Call Forwarding is about redirecting calls from one phone number to another. It is used when a person is unreachable or busy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Call_Routing_Example_A_Real-World_Use_Case\"><\/span>Call Routing Example: A Real-World Use Case<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let&#8217;s say you recently purchased a high-end smartphone and you&#8217;re experiencing technical difficulties with it. Frustrated, you decide to contact the manufacturer&#8217;s customer support hotline.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Upon dialing the number, you encounter an automated menu with various options:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check Order Status<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Information on Returns and Exchanges<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inquiries about Products\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Need Technical Assistance\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Know Warranty information<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this case, you opt for &#8220;Technical support.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The IVR system recognizes your registered account details.

It enables the genet to quickly delve into the technical aspects of your concern, offering personalized assistance to resolve the issue with your smartphone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is just one call routing example. There are many real-world scenarios where a business can incorporate different types of call routing strategies to optimize its customer support operations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_does_Call_Routing_Work\"><\/span>How does Call Routing Work?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4078 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.revesoft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/How-call-routing-works.jpg\" alt=\"How call routing works\" width=\"938\" height=\"356\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Call Routing is a feature of the business phone system and there are multiple ways through which calls can be routed. A few years back, call routing systems were programmed into phone systems by experts. But now, the modern-day cloud-based phone systems have made it quite simple and easy. Before we dive into that, let\u2019s first understand the 3 main stages of the call routing process:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Call_Qualification\"><\/span>Call Qualification<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The basic aim of this step is to determine the calling intent of the caller. When an incoming call arrives on the business phone system, the caller is presented with a series of prerecorded prompts by the Interactive Voice Response or IVR. Based on the customer\u2019s input via speech or dial pad, the purpose of the call is determined.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Call_Queuing\"><\/span>Call Queuing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the second stage in the call routing process. Here, an ACD i.e. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Automatic_call_distributor\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Automatic Call Distributor <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">plays a crucial role. The caller\u2019s response to IVR is forwarded to the ACD which performs these 3 steps:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It analyzes the input of the caller and identifies their needs<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Determines the best-suited agent or team for the call<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Routes the call to the selected agent of the team\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The ACD can line up incoming calls, organizing them according to queries, skills, or waiting time. The priority assigned depends upon the routing rules you define.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Call_Distribution\"><\/span>Call Distribution<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the last step of the call routing process, the queued calls are routed to individual agents of teams. Similar to the previous step, here also the call is distributed based on the rules defined. In case the call arrives after business hours and no agent is available to take the call, then calls can be directed to voicemail.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you can see, managing business calls involves a lot of work.

For a better understanding, here\u2019s an example.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Suppose you are a telecom company with a customer support department that handles various queries related to billing, technical issues, etc. Now, your company receives a call from a customer facing a technical problem with their internet connection. The routing system recognizes the nature of the customer query and thus connects the customer with an agent having expertise in technical issues.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Time-based_Routing\"><\/span>Time-based Routing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4084 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.revesoft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/time-based-routing.jpg\" alt=\"time based routing\" width=\"702\" height=\"398\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this type of routing, the business or working hours and time zones of the agents are considered. It is also called schedule-based or time-of-the-day routing. This method is quite popular with contact centers that serve global and geographically diverse customers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Round-Robin_Routing\"><\/span>Round-Robin Routing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This method works by equally distributing incoming calls among agents in a sequential manner. For example, there\u2019s a call center setup having multiple agents. Now, multiple customer calls are received simultaneously. The round-robin routing system will assign the first call to Agent A, then the second call to Agent B, then the third call to Agent C, and so on\u2026 This method ensures that every agent receives an equal share of incoming calls.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Least_Occupied_Routing\"><\/span>Least Occupied Routing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4083 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.revesoft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Least-Used-Routing.jpg\" alt=\"Least Used Routing\" width=\"700\" height=\"540\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You got this right! This routing system works by routing calls to agents with the least talk time with clients or the fewest calls. Here, the intelligent call routing ACD tracks statistics about these agents to prevent individual team members from getting overburdened with calls.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"VIP_Routing\"><\/span>VIP Routing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is also called relationship-based routing. This method is used to provide special privileges to high-value clients. For example, you have a list of VIP customers based on their significant value to your business. Now, a VIP customer calls customer support seeking assistance. The VIP Routing system identifies the call and assigns a higher priority to it. Due to this, the customer receives prompt and tailored assistance, enhancing satisfaction among the clientele.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"AI-Assisted_Routing\"><\/span>AI-Assisted Routing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is also termed Predictive Behavioural Routing. This intelligent routing technique makes use of AI i.e. Artificial Intelligence to connect the caller with the best available agent. The prediction is made using machine learning based on live and historical data like prior interactions, communication preferences, account history, etc.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"List-based_Routing\"><\/span>List-based Routing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">List-based routing (also called Sequential Routing) works in a fixed order. Calls are always assigned to the first agent on the list, regardless of the activity or skill set of the other agent. Only when the first agent is not available, the call is given to the next available agent. This type of routing is useful in training scenarios or for resource optimization.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"IVR_Call_Routing\"><\/span>IVR Call Routing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4085 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.revesoft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IVR-routing.jpg\" alt=\"IVR routing\" width=\"700\" height=\"413\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here the IVR system guides callers through a series of voice prompts or keypad inputs. IVR Call Routing route calls based on the caller&#8217;s selections or spoken responses.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Benefits_of_Call_Routing\"><\/span>Benefits of Call Routing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<blockquote><p><b><i>\u201c55% of consumers are willing to pay more for exceptional customer experiences.\u201d<\/i><\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An intelligent call routing strategy offers immense value to both small and large businesses.
