Available through Astound Business Solutions, Cloud Contact Center is designed for businesses of all sizes and industries, ranging from small and medium-sized businesses (SMB) to large enterprise organizations that need to efficiently manage, track, and improve their customer interactions.

- A true omnichannel experience which allows businesses and customers to interact via voice, webchat, email, WhatsApp, and SMS
- Excellent service quality with real-time performance dashboards and advanced historical reporting
