The TNT Call Center System

 

The TNT Call Center System is a comprehensive system of digital voice and relational data components that coordinate and control voice and data traffic simultaneously.  This call center system is built on a standard local area network and uses and combines relational database and client - server architecture.  The TNT Call Center System links a digital voice server, aptly named the TNT Call Control Server, to a standard network fileserver.

 

What is TNT?  It is an acronym for Know IT!’s Telephone-Network Turbodialer.  It is the central brain of Know IT!’s digital voice server.   A full function digital switch is at the core of the TNT Call Control Server.  Each of the major modules of the TNT Call Center System was born, breed and has been field-proven to provide spectacular productivity enhancements over and over again in every aspect of customer interactions.  The combined benefits  of a complete customer information system are astounding.   

 

The TNT Call Center System is built with the most modern software and hardware tools, each from industry-standard suppliers that include IBM, Microsoft, Natural Microsystems, and Novell.  As a result, the TNT System is based on a truly open design that is very modern and non-proprietary.  Yet, it offers the “best of both worlds” by being built on an architecture that has been highly proven and constantly upgraded since 1991.  This is the best foundation for a complete CRM solution.

 

Know IT!’s TNT Call Center System components improve control and productivity in every aspect of voice and data handling in high volume call center environments.  This call center system provides a highly integrated and totally flexible platform that seamlessly links voice and data on any business’s LAN or WAN network.  In keeping with our character, even though TNT modules expansively handles the functions of numerous dedicated servers, the TNT Call Control Server can be linked to most PBX, ACD, IVR, CTI or Digital Recording systems.

 

Our TNT System’s features are modular; most can be purchased separately or in any combination.  Also, any modules can be added quickly at any future time as new needs are identified -- without any re-investment.  Most major functions can be changed on-the-fly, user-defined data systems can be built or linked into complete unity with new or existing data systems, web pages, voice systems and more.  As it sounds, this is an extraordinarily dynamic business solution.

 

 

This defines what a complete CRM solution is made of.  The TNT Call Center Systems’ architecture provides a platform that offers:

That’s a quick overview.  The TNT Call Center System is complete, modern and offers room to grow and experiment with your business.

 

How do you handle the extra data preparation, the extra reporting, the extra telephone agent management when this technology blasts new business to you?  TNT’s base system includes graphical menu selections to instantly manage, convert, monitor, or report any volume of calls, agents and campaigns.  Every major function supports the volume handling of every other major function. 

 

For example: agent productivity analysis in real-time or historical reports instantly shows who is producing well, who needs training and who will not or cannot produce.  In seconds.  In real time.  In summary or in detail.

 

For another example: list conversion.  In most applications, the TNT System will handle data processing, conversion, de-duping, and filtering in far less time than is often spent just setting up or converting data for calling lists.  TNT EasyData Utilities can do the entire job plus demographic selection in one single pass through the data.  Automatically.   By combining these functions, each with separate visual controls, our clients can process over a million records faster than most systems take a manager to process a hundred thousand records. 

 

These are just a couple of the many major time saving functions in the TNT System, each designed through years of user-feedback and careful engineering.  The TNT Call Center System provides one of the clearest examples ever for the truism:  “The whole is greater than the sum of the parts”.  Now you can grow with fewer additions to staffing and resource overhead than any other call center solution on the market today!

 

Know IT!, Inc. has consistently developed call center automation systems, which respond to our clients’ need for increased productivity.  While increasing the quality of the call and thus improving our clients’ customer relationships.  The installation of the TNT System can easily increase our customer’s call center productivity by over 300% over a manual system and by over 40% over most of our competitors’ systems that we replaced with the TNT Call Center System.  Our systems solutions are tailored to the needs of customers for their specific markets.

How does Know IT! do it?

The TNT Call Center System includes a full-featured digital telephone switch as part of a voice server working in conjunction with an industry standard fileserver.   One voice server, the TNT Call Control Server, handles every TNT voice function.  It is scalable in configurations from 4 stations / 8 lines to 700 stations / 1,400 lines in a non-blocking switch configuration.  Thousands of stations and lines can be controlled with Know IT!’s blocking configurations.  The TNT System can be configured to process both inbound and outbound calls, while meeting a company’s growing and changing needs.

 

For the most mission critical needs full server redundance now only requires 2 additional servers instead of several systems: one voice server and one fileserver instead of needing separate IVR / Auto-Menu, ACD, Dialer, Digital Recorder, and contact screen-pop servers. The complete TNT Call Center System has been carefully designed to elegantly meet call processing needs now and in the future.  Know IT!’s complete TNT Call Center System cost-effectively brings large system features to any size organization or department. 

 

Know IT! is committed to continuing development of call center technology based on these design philosophies:

 

·       Design all systems around proven industry standards

·       Create open systems, which interface to other data and telecommunications systems, and software packages.

·       Install turnkey systems, which deliver immediate results.

·       Make all aspects of the system accessible to the user.

·       Engineer both hardware and software for maximum growth

·       Consider the rate of change in both business and technology and design for flexibility.

The system allows the supervisor to designate the dialing mode and speed as well as which data and voice functions are available for each campaign and for each calling list.  Quickly and on-the-fly.

 

True Predictive Dialing

A supervisor can now choose the productivity level that is to be maintained for each campaign with TNT’s true predictive dialing.  Each digital T1 circuit in a TNT Call Control Server can drive over 8,000 calls per hour at the same time.  The predictive dialing mode will typically maintain an average of only 0.60 to 0.85 agents available while over-dialed and abandoned calls are held at 5 to 2% or less.  You choose.  With this much predictive accuracy and raw horsepower, almost unlimited efficiencies can be gained while not abusing prospects’ privacy or your phone bill.

 

Preview Dialing

Preview dialing is a valuable option for campaigns or customer service issues where the information in the record needs to be reviewed by the agent before calling, such as historical information for donors, long-term prospect tracking, and big-ticket or repeat customer tracking.  TNT supports three methods of preview dialing.  Each method delivers the data screen to the agent before dialing the number.  The TNT Call Center System smoothly handles immediate dial, a time and agent-specific dial, or an agent initiated dial from TNT HotCall.  The TNT HotCall module provides fully automated call-back selection and it easily allows the agents to perform micro data-mining within their designated contact group for optimum contact determination.

Power Dialing

Power dialing can be specified to set a steady and exact calling rate for groups of stations by campaign or calling source.

 

Reschedule Calls

The TNT System allows the agent up to three ways to reschedule a call if the right party is not available. The agent records a follow-up date and time when completing the original call and the contact record is added to the group’s calling list or an agent’s HotCall list.  TNT proactively puts calls to be returned in front of the agent, right on schedule every time.  Missed a call-back time?  The TNT outbound call handling system can persistently alert the agent until the call is completed or rescheduled.  Never a lost contact.  Never a missed opportunity.  Never an aggravated customer.

The TNT Call Center System brings together these features and more:

 

·       dialed number information (DNIS) support

·       automatic number identification (ANI) of caller

·       multiple automatic call distribution (ACD) modes

o      auto-select campaign and call handling by DNIS

o      transfer direct to available agent

o      active queuing

o      full IVR/AVR auto-menu

·       optional digital recording

·       automatic resource allocation for queues over thresholds

·       multiple call verification modes

o      instant call transfer for verification

·       complete contact management linked to any data or web

·       ultra-intelligent contact screen pops with agent-guided look up

·       call blending to put skilled TSR’s on outbound on off-peak

·       world-class reporting, dozens of user-changeable templates

 

 

Inbound Call Processing 

TNT provides complete inbound call processing with ACD features, auto-attendant, IVR, unlimited & dynamic menus and queues.  The TNT Call Center System intreprets ANI and DNIS and sends the appropriate screen along with the call to the agent.  The TNT Call Control Server eliminates the need for a CTI server and highly customized solutions because it is a full-blown CTI server capable of dynamically routing unlimited DNIS driven campaigns and auto-menu / queuing combinations.

 

The system captures and stores all statistical and production information that result during calling activity.   Whether the call is handled completely un-attended, partly un-attended or transferred directly to an agent.  Details are tracked right down to every touch-tone and every menu option selected by the caller for routing or information retrieval.  The statistics are stored in our standard ODBC compliant databases which can link to an easy to use reports generator to provide pre-configured or user-defined reports.   Again, because of TNT’s open platform, comprehensive visual live queue reports and historical reports are also viewable through many other software systems.

 

Call Blending

The TNT Call Center System can process both inbound and outbound calls at the same time. The system has the capability of directing inbound calls to appropriately trained outbound agents when there is a wave of inbound calls. The system administrator puts the decision parameters into the system, indicating at what call volume thresholds an agent or line is to be switched between outbound and inbound campaigns.  The TNT System will do the rest automatically. 

 

Real Time System Controls – Agents can be assigned by group or individually for each control. Controls include various settings by Campaign or calling Source, Start/ Stop time, Break Start/ Stop, HotCall and Immediate Off.   All campaign and source (list) controls are also all dynamic and live.

 

Campaign Controls – Audio messages or music for greetings and menu prompts are handled within TNT audio file handling for all TNT inbound and call blending systems.  The same inbound line can handle many different personality settings for multiple campaigns.  Campaigns can be set to route calls to AVR/IVR, to Queue, direct to the next available agent or any combination.  Just as with most of TNT’s functions, IVR menus and voice prompts can also be changed on-the-fly.

Statistics – Available in Quick statistics in real-time, or stored on-line ready for historical and comparative report listings and graphs.
By Contact: Hold time before transfer to agent, talk time with agents, number of contacts, counts by call disposition, last 8 call dispositions, date and time of calls, all prior transaction details, notes, and dozens of more stat’s!
By Agent, Campaign, Source, Shift, Day or Hour:  Total talk time, percent of talk time/ active time, average talk time per contact, pause time, HotCall session time, on-hook time (wrap-up), total active time, break time, pause time, number of total contacts, contacts per hour, contacts per conversion, and counts by numerous other call events.  All counts and tracking times are available as totals, per hour, per shift, per day or group of days as well as mean and standard deviations.

TNT’s Call Center Reporting  provides both instantaneous and historical information analyses. TNT’s Real-time Reports capture and store all calling and production information that results from the calling activity. This information is stored in ODBC compliant databases, which includes an easy to use reports generator capable of easily producing unlimited standard and user-defined reports.  Do you have a favorite reporting tool?  It should work, too.

 

Real Time Color Supervisor Workstations – The workstations are configured with thresholds for calls waiting, longest in queue, staffing levels. When a threshold has been exceeded, that field on the screen changes color. The color workstations allow supervisors to easily notice the exceptions in their call center and react accordingly.

 

IVR / AVR / Auto-attendant

TNT provides complete Integrate Voice Response (IVR) / Automatic Voice Response (AVR) capability that can be used with TNT’s other inbound functions, including ACD, queuing and Digital Recording.  The auto-answer modules of the TNT Call Center System are comprehensive.  They will also seamlessly interface with any LANS or WANS and most legacy systems.

 

 

 

 

 

·          Linked to data records with versatile data keys

·          Transfer voice and contact data simultaneously - anywhere

·          Transfer within the TNT system or outside of your system

·          Comprehensive statistics of all events – live and historical

TNT Digital Recording System

 

 

 

 

Description of Operation

 

The TNT Digital Recording System (DRS) provides digital voice recording, playback and detailed data cataloguing for inbound and outbound telephone calls on the TNT Call Control Server (CCS).  The recording functions are controlled in real-time on a per-campaign and a per-agent basis and can operate simultaneously on any or all lines attached to the TNT Call Control Server.  The TNT DRS features high digital voice sampling rates, extremely compact recording files and voice file conversion utilities to support all industry standard voice file formats.  No additional servers nor workstations are required.   This system is tightly integrated to calling functions, yet it can be accessed “off-line”.  The Visual TNT Call Center System Menus automatically include the additions for this module so that the TNT DRS can be managed with the same easy-to-use controls.  LAN-based recording means:  No more cassettes to buy/store/search, no more ‘Y’ adapters or individual tape recorders, and no more lengthy search/recovery sessions for large under-integrated or legacy recording systems.  This recording system provides complete, centralized and secure control with very little training and very little management time required!

 

 

Recording

 

This module has three recording modes: On-Demand, Continuous, and Script-Controlled.  On-Demand recording is started/stopped by the agent at any time.  Script-Controlled starts/stops recording automatically as a function of the agent responding in a contact screen form.   Visual notification is provided to the agent screen that “recording is in progress”.  Recording stops automatically upon the completion of the telephone call, when either the agent or the contact hang up.  Complete supervisory controls are provided.  Each recording option and control may be enabled or blocked by the supervisor.  All controls in our Digital Recording System are live, just as other calling controls are in TNT.  Continuous Recording and Script-triggered recording start/stop are fully automated and tightly integrated to complete our suite of fully automated recording options.

 

At the time of each recording the voice and data records are linked for viewing and listening concurrently during replay.

 

The TNT DRS system records at sample rates from 8 to 48 KHz.  Excellent sound quality is available at an 8 to 12 KHz sample rate.  Hardware included in the TNT DRS subsystem is 4-GB disk drive.  Some TNT configurations also require one AG24 board per 24 agents.  These are added to the TNT Call Control Server (CCS) and generally do not require an additional computer system.   Depending on the sample rate chosen, the length of your average recording and the number of weeks that you wish to keep recordings active on line, for immediate access, more disk space may be necessary.  Our experience indicates that a single 4-GB drive handles 24 agents for twenty-five to thirty days of recording on-demand at 12 KHz sampling.  Up to 6 months of continuous recording for 120+ stations can be maintained on-line with modest system options. 

 

 

Playback

 

Playback is integrated in to TNT’s Maintain Contact Records function.  Any number of records may be selected for playback at any time.  Records may be selected by range of time, date, agent, disposition code and/or campaign.  Playback may be listened to at any TNT calling station. Any number of separate and simultaneous playback sessions can be run at the same time (up to the amount of your agent station licensing). Agents can operate in playback mode at the same time as calling and recording sessions are in progress.  The security system limits playback to agents with supervisor level access or higher. 

 

No more tapes. No more hiss.  No more lost recordings.  Automatically view or edit the contact records while listening to recordings.  Automatically displays the contact record for a recording -- or you may select a recording from list of recordings for any contact record.  Instantly find or browse recordings by over two dozen criteria including date, time, line#, agent, call result, and any contact specific information.  Additionally, while running playback the telephone touch-tone keypad provides direct control of these functions:

 

· normal speed, 150% speed or 200% speed

· skip to next record

· skip back to last record

· small skip forward in the same record

· big skip forward in the same record

· small skip back in the same record

· big skip back in the same record

· rewind to start of the current record

· pause/resume

 

 

 

DRS Backup - anticipates only emergency retrieval

 

Voice files are large, even when TNT’s ultra-efficient file compression is used.  Backup of voice files is accomplished via standard DAT tape drive system or optical drive system.  TNT automated backup/restore software setup and verification is included with all installations.

 

 

DRS Archiving - anticipates somewhat frequent retrieval

 

Generally data records are maintained on the file server while voice records are stored on the Call Control Server.  Archiving of voice files is available for immediate recovery by means of optical drives or juke-box storage devices.  In this case the voice file storage is a secondary benefit, minimizing on-line storage is the primary purpose.  After an archive is complete the data records are marked with their respective storage location and the hard drive storage of the voice files archived is purged.   Associated relational data links are stored together with voice files to make a complete archive package.  Automatic archiving can be scheduled during off-peak use.  Archiving and purging may be combined or run separately.  Here is a fully integrated recording management system!

Total Customer Relationship Management

 

combines voice & call processing services

with unlimited contact data management

 

 

 

The TNT Contact Management System has been built with your customer’s point-of-contact experiences in mind!  Never has building your dream customer support system been so complete.  And it has never been this easy to perform.

How well your company interacts with your customers determines your costs AND your customer’s satisfaction.   Not to mention your market growth and customer retention.  Consider all of the points of customer or prospect contact in your organization: 

 

Ø     call centers

Ø     data mining

Ø     many forms of prospecting

Ø     marketing

Ø     many types of correspondence

Ø     fulfillment and route tracking

Ø     orders

Ø     research

Ø     survey

Ø     confirmation

Ø     customer service & support

 

Costs can be whittled while customer service is honed in every phase of customer interaction when a systematic approach such as this is refined.  The TNT Call Center System leverages existing investments.  It unifies and controls every point of customer handling that you need updated, while tightly coordinating with customer controls that are already in place.  The TNT Call Center System lets you efficiently combine data, voice and web customer contact while adding enormous capabilities in each area.  The results have consistently amazed our customers by soundly exceeding expectations in growth and net profits.

 

Empower your image with the ultimate combination of CRM tools.  The TNT Call Center System provides unlimited data linking, scripting and reporting capabilities to bring together the most flexible contact information system ever made.  

 

 

The TNT Call Center System provides for enhanced contact control with intelligent CRM tools.   Know IT! is always working on expanding the intelligence of customer contact solutions.  TNT includes multiple dialing modes, Hot Call, instant transfer for verification, variable call result recycling and answering machine detection.  These Solutions provide customers with intelligent dialing - at the most likely time of contact. 

 

·       TNT Cross Reference – At the point your agent says “hello”, their screen will reflect the most recent information along with the most relevant history that your company has on the contact.   This is an intelligent learning system that can quickly teach or guide telephone agents to the best contact results.

 

·       HotCall – Your agents instantly identify people for automatic call-back, with the option to micro data-mine within their assigned contacts or accounts.

Whenever a call-back is desired, the agent puts the prospect on the “hot call’ list to be called at a specific time and date. The agent makes any notes needed in the file for later review.  On the scheduled date, TNT notifies the agent that the call is due and asks the agent if they want to make the call now.  The call will be the next call connected to the agent.  Before the contact is made, the agent has the complete history of the customer in front of him with this preview dialing mode.

 

With this contact management system, no “hot prospect” is forgotten or missed.  Any missed contacts are automatically presented daily to agents for immediate follow up or rescheduling.

 

·       Call Verification - agents can instantly transfer a call with the data screen to another agent for verification of a sale or pledge.  There is no need to collect the information and require someone to call the customer back to verify information.  The verification agent logs on to any station and begins receiving transferred calls.  Real time and historical reports are available for the verification campaigns and agents, just like other campaigns.

 

·       Call Conference -  The TNT system provides the agent with the ability to transfer a call to an outside extension on the PBX even without a dedicated connection to the PBX. Also we connect with two clicks to any outside line for passing voice live to remote offices. The agent can connect easily to a third party with a single keystroke and the entry of the extension or phone number on the screen.  This feature is especially valuable for customer service applications where an additional resource needs to be added to the conversation and questions can be answered without having to make a return the call.

 

·       Time Zone Protection - When a list of records is sent to the system, they can be processed with a Know IT! utility to apply time zone designations to every record.  The supervisor can then easily set the limits for the standard zones.  TNT recognizes 24 time zones around the world.

 

Add these features to the TNT Seamless Office Suite, the TNT EasyData Utilities, and our open data platform (you may use your own utilities if you prefer) and you get an extraordinarily flexible and robust CRM solution.  Handle unlimited contact flow from multiple sources and coordinate the exact information and controls needed for the agent.  Instantly.

Database-Driven Demographical Marketing

masterfully controlled with

 

The TNT EasyData Utilitiesâ

 

 

 

 

Track your demographic data automatically and access it intelligently and quickly! 

 

This is database marketing at its finest.  The ability to capture information about a customer's market, existing customers or clients and prospects, is essential to database marketing.   TNT automatically handles the capturing to any data structure desired (it automatically fills about 80 fields without scripting).   With well designed database solutions, customers can segment and target calling lists and build targeted campaigns for maximum results. You can sort and filter lists by any element of data that is contained in the list.  TNT allows segmentation of lists before, during and after calling.  This capability to produce or restrict information by any combination of criteria will also enhance other marketing efforts.

 

The power of the database solutions provided by Know IT! allows customers to easily tailor reports or other outputs that can specifically meet each of your customer's unique needs.  Easy to define list structures also allow presentation and capture of information that is important for the campaign. 

 

TNT allows customers to define unique record (list) structures, or the information to present and keep for the phone numbers called.  TNT data files can include many sources.  All files are ODBC compliant.

 

·       TNT EasyData Utilities - The system allows customers to segment lists by demographic or historical information kept in a structure.  Customers can sort and select records before calling with EasyData utilities.  TNT reads your data file, breaks the format down, and then displays a sample of the data on the screen for you to verify or transform. This exclusive feature provides comprehensive control over duplicate records, has text-filter options for partial field search and allows up to 55 filtering criteria to be selected at a time to precisely specify which data records to use. It elegantly combines many options - the result is simple to use. TNT understands many data languages and with our platform you can access files from the servers on your network that are needed.

 

All dialer-input lists, no-call lists, and prospect lists are interchangeable easily and flexibly in EasyData. Automatic pop-up menus provide extraordinary ease for converting from popular CD-ROM lists, lists from Cole Publications, MetroSearch and other services directly into either MailRoom or into a dialer call list.

 

·       NoCall System –  We recognize that who you don’t call is more important than who you do call; unless you are just trying to burn phone and labor dollars.   TNT provides the most complete filtering system available.  Create demographical filters on the fly with the TNT EasyData Utility, or automatically while creating calling lists.  Live filters.  Make one calling source another’s no-call filter with a click of the mouse.  Suppress with up to 11 no-call filter groups per calling source.  Share all or share no filter groups with other active calling sources.  The TNT NoCall System provides the capability of selectively and quickly defining those who you do not wish to call.

The TNT Seamless Office

 

 

 

TNT Seamless Office is a suite of tools that provides management the ability to be in complete control of the entire marketing effort.  When the TNT Seamless Office tools are combined with other TNT Call Center System features an organization can provide highly organized, efficient and consistent interactions with customers or prospects.

 

·       TNT’s Literature Express allows agents to follow through literature requests, while still on a call. A single keystroke lets an agent select a piece of literature from a predefined list and puts it into a queue for mail or fax, while simultaneously scheduling a follow-up call for a later time.

 

·       TNT’s Bulk Mail Room allows you to mail or fax any group or individual on a list. You can select any group by any data criteria and “mail merge” the selection to labels, or print directly with user-defined forms.  Every literature item has its own controls for printer or file destination and output and can be easily sorted in unlimited ways.  As with TNT campaign scripts, literature items are easily copied or ‘cut and pasted’.  

All correspondence from TNT is tracked, whether from agent-selected items or from the TNT Bulk Mail system.  With a single click, automatically specifiy any call-back setting based on the correspondence selected and TNT “stuffs” selected contacts into Agent’s HotCall.

Print a mail batch at the same time as creating a calling list; in one pass with the TNT EasyData Utility.  Create a mail batch from a list or contact database by any combination of criteria.  With TNT’s correspondence generation and tracking abilities -- collections, confirmations, e/mail and follow-up, or just about anything can be done in the blink of an eye in a highly coordinated manner.  Your way.

 

·       TNT’s Message Sent allows the supervisor to send messages real time to individual or groups of agents directly from the supervisor station.  These messages display at the bottom of the agent's screen and can provide useful information or special incentives without disrupting the normal flow of their calling.

 

TNT’s Call Center Reporting  provides both instantaneous and historical information analyses. TNT’s Real-time Reports capture and store all calling and production information that results from the calling activity. This information is stored in a database, which includes an easy to use reports generator, which produces an array of standard or user-defined reports.
