Call Center Issabel
An Issabel-based call center is a call center solution built using the Issabel unified communications platform. Issabel is an open-source software suite based on Asterisk, a powerful open-source telephony engine. This means it's free to download and use, though businesses often pay for support, implementation, and customization.

Key Features of an Issabel Call Center:

Inbound and Outbound Call Management: Handles both incoming customer calls (inbound) and outgoing calls made by agents (outbound).

Call Recording: Records calls for quality monitoring, training, and dispute resolution (often with options to pause recording for sensitive information).

Real-time Monitoring & Reporting: Provides supervisors with real-time dashboards and reports on call activity, agent performance, queue statistics, and other key metrics.
