What is Automatic Call Distribution?
Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) simplifies call management by queuing incoming calls and assigning them based on set criteria. Working alongside Interactive Voice Response (IVR), an ACD system helps contact centers efficiently handle large call volumes and quickly connect callers to the right agent.
GoTo Contact Center uses ACD software to efficiently assign calls, whether distributing them evenly among agents, directing them to the least busy agent, or connecting them to the most qualified representative through skills-based routing.

For Agents
GoTo Contact Center enhances automatic call distribution with skills-based routing, ensuring agents handle calls aligned with their expertise. ACD helps minimize unnecessary transfers and wait times, which improves first-call resolution rates.
ACD software also helps balance agent workloads by evenly distributing calls to help prevent burnout and keep morale high. With automated queue management, agents can shift their focus from waiting for assignments to actively assisting customers.
