CaféX Announces Live Virtual Coaching Solution For Call Centers

CaféX Supervisor Assist provides contact centers with real-time multimedia coaching over the Web to improve agent performance and ensure consistent customer service delivery.

New York – February 29, 2016 – CaféX Communications®, an award-winning supplier of mobile and web engagement solutions, today announced the release of Supervisor Assist, a live coaching solution that enables contact center supervisors to listen to, observe and interact with agents in real-time during customer calls directly from any Web browser.

As call centers continue to grapple with high employee turnover and expensive training programs, Supervisor Assist provides a cost effective way to onboard new agents quickly and provide ongoing mentoring, even for teams distributed across locations. More than just a voice monitoring product, Supervisor Assist also allows coaches to see an agent’s desktop during a customer call. The coach can start a web chat with the agent, use a spotlight pointer to highlight important areas, and even take control temporarily to click on links, files or type in text on the agent’s computer.

CaféX will also showcase Supervisor Assist—along with the complete portfolio of CaféX communications products—at booth 329 during Enterprise Connect 2016, which runs from March 7-10 at the Gaylord Palms Resort in Orlando, Florida.

Key Benefits and Features for Contact Centers

• Improve customer satisfaction and maintain consistent service levels;
• Protect enterprise IT investments and streamline administration through integration with leading contact center platforms.
