Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Platform28 inbound call center software.
What is inbound call center software?
Inbound call center software is a platform designed to handle incoming customer communications across multiple channels including phone calls, chat, email, and SMS. It includes features like intelligent routing, IVR systems, queue management, and analytics to help businesses deliver exceptional customer service while optimizing agent productivity.
How does intelligent routing improve customer service?
Intelligent routing uses AI and machine learning to analyze incoming calls and match them with the best-qualified agent based on skills, availability, customer history, and issue type. This reduces transfer rates by up to 30%, improves first-call resolution by 40%, and decreases average handle time by connecting customers with the right resource immediately.
What communication channels does Platform28 support?
Platform28 provides true omnichannel support including voice calls, web chat, email, SMS text messaging, and social media messaging. All channels are unified in a single agent workspace with complete conversation history, so customers never have to repeat themselves regardless of how they choose to contact you.
How long does it take to set up an inbound call center?

Platform28 provides comprehensive real-time and historical analytics including call volume trends, average handle time, first-call resolution rates, agent performance metrics, customer satisfaction scores, and queue statistics. Custom dashboards and scheduled reports help managers make data-driven decisions.
Can I keep my existing phone numbers?
Yes, Platform28 supports number porting from your existing carrier. The porting process typically takes 2-4 weeks depending on your current provider. During the transition, we can set up call forwarding to ensure no calls are missed. We also provide new local and toll-free numbers if needed.
What is first-call resolution (FCR) and why does it matter?
First-call resolution (FCR) measures the percentage of customer issues resolved during the initial contact without requiring follow-up calls or callbacks. High FCR rates (industry benchmark: 70-75%) indicate efficient service and correlate strongly with customer satisfaction. Platform28's intelligent routing and agent tools are designed to maximize FCR.
