No one enjoys being transferred multiple times during a customer service call. Traditional manual call routing often leads to long queues, frustration, and low first call resolution (FCR) rates. NFON’s AI-powered Contact Center revolutionises this experience by instantly directing customers to the right agent based on intent, urgency, and sentiment.
The pitfalls of manual call routing
Manual routing systems rely heavily on static IVR menus and human judgment, which can result in:
- Long wait times – Customers are stuck navigating complex menu trees.
- Multiple transfers – Calls bounced between departments before reaching the right person.
- Low FCR rates – Issues that aren’t resolved the first time lead to repeat contacts.
These inefficiencies frustrate customers, drain agent time, and drag down your overall service quality.
AI-powered intelligent routing: A game changer
NFON’s Contact Center employs cutting-edge AI to take the guesswork and the friction out of routing:
- Natural Language Processing (NLP) – Understands the customer’s issue from what they say (or type) and routes accordingly.
- Sentiment analysis – Picks up on tone and urgency to prioritise emotionally charged or time-sensitive calls.
- Real-time decision making – Instantly connects customers with the best-fit agent or support path based on context.
