Overall Satisfaction with Talkdesk

Receive calls from dispatchers and carriers. Calls are also transferred between departments. Talkdesk helps us understand frontline staffing needs (knowing the amount of calls IB & OB and well as processing times to handle those calls). Web-based and phone app real time reporting allows managers on the go to always know how we are doing.

  • Legacy TD Packages Annual Increase %'s Are High (9%)
  • Reduced AHT By Allowing Us To Understand Where Agents Were Spending Their Time
  • Answer More Calls In Busy Intervals
  • Increase Staffing By Identifying Agents With High After Call Work
I enjoy using Talkdesk's application. I can easily complete user administration activities, understand what's taking place realtime (perfect for remote workers), and access anywhere. If I ever have any questions, Account Managers are fast to respond. Reporting TD outages are also pretty easy using their website. Once outages are reported updates and resolutions are reached quickly.
Talkdesk implementation team was available for any and all questions. User set up and deployment of Talkdesk with vendor was super easy. Talkdesk doesn't require much with regards to system requirements.
When I came onboard, I needed some hand holding with regards to learning how to utilize Talkdesk reporting. The Account Management quickly shared great articles for me to reference and they were quick to assist me via webex.
Talkdesk doesn't require code writing and/or programing. It's a super easy "off the shelf" solution. Agents also find their interface super easy to understand.
