What is Intelligent Routing?

Intelligent Routing (or Skills-based Routing), is a technology contact centers use to gather customer inquiries through voice, digital, or social channels, and then applies rules to route it to the agent best fit to resolve the issue.

Intelligent Routing increases customer satisfaction by reducing the amount of times a customer is transferred or on hold, and decreases the average handle time (AHT).

TTEC's Intelligent Routing technology is capable of personalizing unique call center parameters to ensure every inquiry gets to the right person at the right time -- every time.
