FAQ

  1. What does the cost of Contactise software depend on?

    The cost depends on the selected modules and the number of simultaneous sessions. The number of system users and telephone lines to be connected is unlimited.

  2. What is the number of simultaneous sessions?

    Simultaneous dialogs of operators at a particular point in time.

  3. How does the integration with corporate e-mail accounts happen?

    Contactise takes the corporate mail to its server and binds these messages to the contact with which users are communicating and to the role of the user who is communicating with the client. Next, the next emails from that client go into the system. Contactise routes them depending on the tags that are set on this client, the e-mail address he emailed to, and other parameters. This allows you to find all correspondence with the client no matter which emails he/she wrote to, and direct the emails to the right person, even if the client has the wrong email. For example, if it's an existing client and he has communicated with the sales department before, his email will be received not by a sales manager, but the account manager. This routing eliminates the situation when a customer would write to a sales manager about any issue, who has to go to the service department himself to solve the client's problem.

    When an employee is on vacation, their email can be quickly "linked" to another employee without the hassle of a password. And then you can get it all back in one click.

    And if an employee quits, you can block his access to all clients in two clicks, without worrying if he still has the employee's email password or not.

    Also with both calls and emails, you can hide part of the address so that the employee can communicate from the system, but cannot steal data. This functionality is especially relevant when working with interns or people on probationary period.

    The choice depends on your goals and industry.

    Pros of the cloud solution – cheaper in the beginning, no need to buy and administer servers. Cons – inability to administer the system, dependence on the provider for the speed of the server, the Internet, protection of your data, etc.

    Pros of the box solution – system operation on your servers, independent administration of the system, data protection, access, compliance with the Laws of Ukraine on the compulsory storage of all customer data on their own servers for some sectors of business, etc. Cons – more expensive licenses and work to configure the system, the time of implementation, full responsibility for the servers, Internet, etc.

    Pros of the hybrid solution – the telephone server is ours, and the database is stored on your server. Cons - not complete independence of the system administration.

  25. How to connect mobile lines to Contactise?

    Lifecell mobile lines connect by ip. To connect mobile lines from Kyivstar and Vodafone you need a gsm-gateway. At the rate of 1 sim card - 1 line - 1 channel of gsm-gateway.

  26. Why when you dial an outgoing number from a mobile number in Contactise to another mobile number, the call does not come right away, but after a few tones?

    The gsm technology does not give instant speed. There is no 1 second from call to call. At least 7 seconds, if this subscriber has just been called, but if a long time ago, the dialing takes from 8 to 12 seconds.
