ACD

Definition

ACD (Automatic Call Distribution) routes incoming calls to agents according to configured policies.

How it works

The platform places calls into queues and assigns agents using availability, skills, priorities or a chosen distribution algorithm.

Business example

A customer-support centre sends calls to available agents in the appropriate team and balances workloads across staff.

What to consider

Monitor queue length, waiting time, agent skills and overflow rules so calls are still handled when demand increases.
