ServiceOcean offers call centers, agencies and branches innovative software solutions for scheduled customer contacts in the entire buying process. Customers book minute-by-minute telephone appointments at all contact points and are called fully automatically at the right time.

The resource-based appointment offer is unique. Offered appointments increase capacity utilization and quality. Customers meet with prepared consultants so that the identification of the customer is omitted and the conversation time (AHT) is reduced. Minute-by-minute phone appointments offer customers a contemporary alternative to the queue. After all, no relationship in a person’s life works without appointments.
