Benfits
CyDesk
Link two important business tools - the PC and the telephone
Ultimately a lot of our business is done over the telephone - and it makes sense to automate a lot of those tasks and also make them easier. Staff efficiency is improved in many ways - even by as simply not having to enter every number to a telephone keypad for every call. Features such as automatically popping the details of the caller to the PC screen automatically provide many beneficial features.
CyDesk™ is not just another softphone
CyDesk is a product designed to enhance the telephone you have whether it is a desktop, IP or Soft phone. CyDesk™ integrates your telephone into your business systems, linking you to your office CRM, customer database or management system and provides presence management defining your status and availability to office colleagues and teams. CyDesk™ is your central communications tool, providing your speed dials, missed call, redial and received calls lists on the screen in front of you. CyDesk™ can record your conversations and it can log all your activity for performance and analysis

Improve Staff Capability for better Service
Staff efficiency is improved in many ways - even by as simply not having to enter every number to a telephone keypad for every call. Complex service design processes such as customised answering for many different numbers, lines, divisions or clients can all be smoothly presented and handled.
Performance Monitoring
In today's modern business environment, providing quality service is a key objective. CyDesk™ in conjunction with CyReport™ enables service performance adherence and process conformance, full reporting and review of calls made and received.

CyDesk is very low cost and also as you will see below can be upgraded with additional modules to provide voice recording, agent monitoring, right to a full inbound service call centre or outbound tele-marketing operation.
Add Telephony Integration to your Customer Contact or CRM Business Systems.
CyDesk™ provides a wide range of enhancing functionality to your customer contact system. CyDesk™ click to dial increases efficiency and output of business calls, testing shows that based on a tele-sales person, around 40 hrs. per year per person can be saved in click to dial over manual dialling more than covering the price of the software. Even more increased savings are made with the screen pop of customer details being presented to the CyDesk™ user on each incoming call. Now the customer details are already present on the PC screen leaving CyDesk™ users free to concentrate on the call in hand.
Log History of calls made received and even missed to your CRM
One of the most important and significant features with CyDesk™ is to have all CyDesk™ users calls logged into the CRM under the contact history. Managers and other team members can review what contact has been made by telephone with the company customers and can review the date, time and duration of the call and of course whether it was a call out, or call received. In most CRM systems CyDesk™ can also generate an action to return a call if your customer called one of your team and they missed the call. All of these actions logged in your CRM under each pertinent contact provide a wealth of important reporting with which you can analyse performance and busy levels and most importantly be assured 100% of the verification of a call being made or received.
