Call center CRMYour phone system and CRM, set up as one call center, whatever your industry

Admissions teams, senior living sales teams and the front desks of multi-location practices all run a call center, even if they do not call it one. The calls are different. The CRM for a call center needs the same things in each: the right call to the right person, every inbound and outbound call on the record with its source, and nobody left waiting for a callback. We integrate your call center with your CRM and set it up around the stages of your business.

  • Phones and call tracking connected to Salesforce, Zoho CRM or another CRM
  • Routing, recordings and missed call alerts set up around your team
  • Calls reported by source, queue and rep, in your industry's stages

Sound familiar?

Where calls get lost, in any industry

The phones work and the CRM works. They just do not talk to each other.

Calls that never reach the CRM

Reps take notes by hand, or not at all, and the record shows a name with no call history behind it.

No idea which ads made the phone ring

The call comes in, but the CRM does not know the campaign, the page or the referral that sent it.

Missed calls nobody sees

A call rings out at lunch or after hours, and the caller tries the next business on their list.

Managers flying blind

Nobody can see calls waiting in the queue, missed calls by hour, or which rep handled what.

Step 1 · Phones

Phone system and numbers set up

Before a call can land on the record, the phone system has to be set up for how your team actually works.

What we build

  • Users added, call queues created with a number for each, and caller ID set
  • Call recording turned on, with an announcement
  • Tracking numbers in CallTrackingMetrics or CallRail, and existing numbers ported over

The real thing

Call center dashboards

We work with TrussCharts (trusscharts.com), our sister company, to build dashboards on the data we connect. Client names and locations are replaced.

  1. 1Today in one sentence

    A plain-English headline before any numbers. Inbound, outbound, SMS, and totals grouped by colour. Every card compared with yesterday. (client dashboard, names replaced)

  2. 2When the phones ring

    Every hour of every day of the week. Darker cells mean more calls. Busiest day and busiest hour called out. (client dashboard, names replaced)

  3. 3Every caller still waiting for a call back

    One row per caller, not one per missed call. Ring time shows how long the call rang before it was missed. Open in CTM jumps straight to the call record. (client dashboard, names replaced)

  4. 4Which office is dropping calls

    Answered, missed, and outbound for every location. Long red bars stand out at a glance. Sorted by total calls. (client dashboard, names replaced)

Call center CRM FAQ

What is a call center CRM?

It is the CRM your call center works in: every call, text and recording lands on the caller's record, so reps see the history before they pick up and managers can report on calls by source, queue and rep. We set up Salesforce or Zoho CRM this way, or connect the CRM you already use.

Do call centers need CRM software and call center software?

Yes, and they do different jobs. The phone system rings, routes and records the call. The CRM holds the caller, their history and the result. A call center CRM integration connects the two, so nobody has to type notes in by hand.

How does a CRM improve a call center?

Calls stop getting lost. Each call is on the record with its source, missed calls send an alert, and managers see calls in queue, missed calls and rep activity on one dashboard instead of piecing it together.

Which call center CRM features do you set up?

Call queues and routing, call tracking numbers, calls and texts logged on the record, recordings with AI summaries and transcriptions, the record opening when a rep answers where supported, missed call alerts, dashboards, and SOPs for the team.

Does it work for inbound and outbound call centers?

Yes. Inbound calls are routed and logged with their source. Outbound calls are logged on the record with their outcome, including whether they reached voicemail or a person, from each rep's own number with caller ID set.

Which industries do you set up call centers for?

The setup works for any business that takes calls. We do the most work for behavioral health and addiction treatment admissions, senior living communities and multi-location medical practices, and each has its own page.

Can you set up Salesforce or Zoho CRM for a call center?

Yes, both. Calls, texts and recordings are logged on the record in Salesforce or Zoho CRM, and we connect other CRMs whose API allows it.

Which phone systems do you integrate with the CRM?

We have set up CallTrackingMetrics, CallRail and RingCentral, and logged calls from other phone systems into the CRM. Tell us what you use on the free call.

What happens to missed calls?

They send an alert by email or Slack, and show up on a missed calls report, so your team can call back.

How much does a call center CRM setup cost?

It is priced by project, not by the hour, based on your phones, your CRM and how many queues and locations you have. The first call is free, and you get a project quote after it.
