Ooma, Inc., a smart communications platform for businesses and consumers, today announced that it has added advanced call flow capabilities to the Ooma Office business communications service, empowering businesses of all sizes to improve their customer and employee experience.
Ooma Office Pro Plus, the top service plan, now offers five new capabilities:
- Call Queue Agent Log In/Log Out. Agents assigned to answer phones in a call queue can log in and log out of that queue using the Ooma Office desktop app, giving them more control over their availability and enabling managers to have more accurate insight into staffing levels.
- Shared Voicemail Boxes. A ring group, such as a sales or service team, now has a dedicated voicemail box that can be accessed by everyone on the team, improving response time in comparison to voicemails going to just one member of the team.
- Virtual Receptionist Scheduling. Admins can create up to five routing rules for Virtual Receptionists, each with its own custom audio greeting, call selection menu and actions, and time of day and day of week schedules, to accommodate the needs of a business that wants calls to be handled differently depending on the time of day or day of the week.
- Transfer Calls to External Lines. Virtual Receptionists and Ring Groups can now be programmed to send calls to an external number outside the business, such as an insurance agent moving customer claim calls to a corporate call center or a towing service connecting after-hours callers to a manager’s mobile phone.
- Microsoft Dynamics 365 Integration. Sales and support teams who operate inside Dynamics 365 no longer need to leave the CRM platform to place or receive calls. Also, customer data automatically pops up for incoming calls and Dynamics 365 automatically creates tasks for each call.
