What Teloz ACD includes

Everything to route, manage, and coach.

Built for US support and sales teams. No add-on licenses, no extra dashboards — everything below ships in the base plan.

See it in your dashboard
01

Multi-queue design

Separate queues per skill, product, region, or priority — each with their own supervisors.

02

Skills-based routing

Tag agents with skills (billing, technical, Spanish, tier-2). Calls match using weighted routing preferences.

03

Queue callbacks

Caller opts out of the queue, keeps their position, and gets called back when their turn comes up — a core principle of ICMI call center management best practices.

04

Overflow rules

When wait time passes a threshold, calls spill to a backup queue, an external number, or voicemail.

05

Live wait-time announcements

“You are third in line, estimated wait two minutes.” Built on the Erlang model, updated live.

06

Supervisor tools on queues

Service level by skill, longest wait, per-agent state — silent listen, whisper, or barge in real time via call monitoring.

Pick the right strategy

Five routing strategies. One toggle each.

Mix and match per queue — sales gets round-robin, billing gets skills-based, no extra licenses. Pick a strategy below to see when to use it.

Top of the list first.

Linear routing

Calls always try the first agent in the queue. If they're busy, the call moves to the next. Predictable, ordered, and easy to debug — best when you have a clear seniority order.

Best for
  • Small teams (2–6 agents)
  • Tiered support with a senior-first preference
  • Teams that audit by who answered first

Whispers, ETAs & SLA alarms

Queues that communicate — to callers and supervisors.

Position-in-line, ETA, agent whispers, and live SL alarms — every detail tuned to keep abandonment low and callers informed. Your supervisors get real-time visibility across every queue from a single dashboard.

Whisper announcements
Pre-roll the queue name and SL for the agent before the caller connects.
Position-in-line + ETA
Caller hears their place every 30 seconds, with average wait time.
Overflow rules
Spillover to a sister queue, voicemail, or external DID — by SL or by call count.
Live SLA alarms
Slack, email, or wallboard pop when a queue dips below threshold.

Call queues US teams manage without the chaos.

From busy season spikes to everyday volume, every caller reaches the right agent.

Skills routing

Skills-based routing means tier-2 questions stop landing on tier-1 reps. First-contact resolution went from 64% to 81% in the first quarter.

Wallboard

The wallboard alone pays for itself — supervisors finally see SL by skill in real time and can shift agents between queues without leaving their seat.
