Omnichannel Routing

Voice, web chat, SMS, email and WhatsApp Business route to the same agent pool through one queue engine. Skills-based routing, priority weighting and overflow rules. Unified interaction history means an agent sees the full conversation regardless of where it started.

AI Deflection via Google CCAI

Virtual agents on voice and chat handle routine enquiries before they reach human agents. Agent assist surfaces knowledge-base snippets mid-call. Transcript summarisation produces a wrap-up note in two sentences. Typical deflection rates: 18-35%.

Forecast call volume 12 weeks out, generate schedules that respect union rules, track intraday adherence, run shift bid tournaments. Quality monitoring captures 100% of calls with screen recording; evaluators score via custom forms. Reports export to BI tools.

CRM-Native Agent Desktop

Agents can work inside Salesforce Service Cloud, Dynamics 365 Customer Service, ServiceNow, Zendesk or Oracle Service Cloud as the primary UI. The Verizon Business Contact Centre agent widget embeds; screen-pop, click-to-dial, call notes and recordings flow into CRM records.

Virtual Agents Handle the Top 20 Enquiries

Every contact centre has a Pareto — 20% of enquiry types drive 80% of call volume. Verizon Business Contact Centre ingests a client's historical transcripts and knowledge base to train a Google CCAI virtual agent against those 20 intents. Result: 18-35% of calls and chats resolve without an agent touching them, especially for status, billing and password-reset enquiries.

Agents still see the full context if escalation is needed — the AI passes transcript, intent and any identity verification already completed. Customers don't repeat themselves. That's the metric that moves CSAT.

CRM-First Agent Desktop

Rather than ask agents to work from the Verizon Business Contact Centre UI and flip to the CRM, the widget embeds inside Salesforce Service Cloud, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Service, ServiceNow, Zendesk or Oracle Service Cloud. The CRM record is the primary screen; call controls float on top. Activity logs, call recordings and AI-generated wrap-up notes attach to the case automatically.

Admins manage the deployment from My Verizon Business next to UCaaS, VoIP systems and wireless lines. One bill, one portal, one audit trail.

Workforce Management and Quality Monitoring

Verizon Business Contact Centre ships forecasting out of the box — 12 weeks of call-volume prediction by channel and skill. Schedules optimise agent cost while respecting union rules and employee preferences. Shift bid tournaments let agents rank preferences; the system awards schedules by seniority or merit per client policy.

Quality monitoring captures 100% of voice and screen recordings. Evaluators score calls against configurable forms; AI-assisted evaluation flags policy breaches automatically. All reporting flows to My Verizon Business with CSV and API export. For compliance clients, retention honours the FTC record-keeping baseline.

"Deflection Cut Hold Times in Half"

"After Verizon Business Contact Centre deployed Google CCAI, 31% of our status-check calls never reached a human agent. Average hold time dropped from 4:20 to 2:10. Agents spend more time on complex cases, which is what we hired them to do."

— Rachel B., Customer Care VP, Summit Mutual (Hartford, CT)

"One Desktop for All Channels Finally"

"We ran three tools for voice, chat and email. Verizon Business Contact Centre gave us one agent desktop. Unified interaction history means customers stop repeating themselves, and our CSAT jumped 14 points in two quarters."

— Daniel P., Operations Director, Orbital Logistics (Atlanta, GA)

"Salesforce Embed Was the Deciding Factor"

"Our agents live in Salesforce Service Cloud. Verizon Business Contact Centre embedded as a widget instead of making them tab-switch. Training time for new hires dropped 40% because they only learn one UI."

— Kavita N., CX Director, Ironwood Financial (Denver, CO)
