    SpiceCSM
    SpiceCSM does an excellent job at allowing agents to view customer information, access customer contact documentation history, and create cases to send to other departments or to have the account managed beyond an agent's capabilities. It is a great tool for tracking individual account activity such as returns, contact history, contact disposition history, and general account information. The analytics of SpiceCSM could be improved. The reports are not easily customizable, which leaves users frequently having to manually process data in Microsoft Excel.

    We consider that it is a very complete internet call software that is worth having in all companies that want to increase their sales through customer service agents because, with all its tools, agents improve their workday by day.

    • Forwards to our cell phones or landlines -- and voicemail to email
    • Allows outbound calls on the rare occasion we require hiding
    • Simple website for end users - but they almost never need to use it.

    So much easier than our old PBX or any on-prem PBX I have ever used. We were up and running in an hour. Tweaking the caller menus is so easy.

    Return on Investment
    SpiceCSM
    • Ability to analyze customer contact topic trends.
    • Ability to sort callers and filter them to certain phone lines based on customer account information.
    • Large data was lost after 90 days (contact level/call notes and details), so we have to save and backup the data ourselves. This takes up a bit of storage space.

    • We have been able to improve greatly with this software, our communications and interactions with customers improved, and agent performance and productivity improved, which translates into higher profits for the company. It is easy to use this program, so it did not take us long to adapt to it and its functions.
