What is an Automatic Call Distributor (ACD)?

ACD, commonly known as Automatic Call Distributor, is a telephony software that receives the calls and routes them to the best available agent, team, or IVR, based on predefined routing rules. The ACD system utilizes a rule-based routing strategy based on instructions that dictate how inbound calls are handled and directed.

With skill-based and intelligent routing, ACD software helps the inbound call center avoid common mistakes and follow a logical path to be more productive. It streamlines communication, preventing the overloading of call systems and ensuring that callers don’t wind up in a permanent loop or queue too long, improving their overall experience.

For seamless call handling, ACD routes the call to an agent-based on business hours, call traffic, customer’s past interactions, behavioral transactions, and customer preference, ensuring that each caller gets a unique experience.

Step 2

Call Queueing

The next step is arranging the call queue and sort the callers into a waiting list as per agents’ availability and suitability. Using the routing algorithm, the ACD will consider the traffic volume, time of the day, queue wait times, and the department on the receiving end of the call. ACD determines queue order based on several factors such as status, waiting time, query
