Call center software in the cloud

About Nectar Desk

Nectar Desk is a cloud-based call center solution for inbound, outbound, and blended call centers. The software offers a range of basic and advanced call center functionality, including call recording, queue management, real-time monitoring, interactive voice response (IVR), automated call distribution (ACD), call transfer, custom agent statuses, call analytics, and more.

Nectar Desk’s tools for inbound call centers include ACD, ring groups, and skills-based routing, to direct callers to the most suitable department or agent. Unlimited length call queues ensure that no caller will receive a ‘busy’ signal, and callers can request callbacks from within the queue. Automated pop-outs give agents instant access to caller information including company information, names, and phone numbers, while on a call. Users can create custom agent statuses to suit a range of business needs, and use these to manage call queues. Agent statuses can also be monitored, and status change activity can be tracked.

Outbound and inbound calls can be recorded in Nectar Desk, with users able to start and stop recording for sensitive conversations. Recordings are automatically saved in clients’ activity logs, and users can listen back to stored recordings at any time. Nectar Desk also includes an automated voicemail system which automatically generates computer-readable audio extensions from voicemail notifications, and sends these to specified email addresses or lists, along with written transcripts of the voicemail message.


Key benefits of Nectar Desk

  • Custom agent statuses can be created to suit different business needs, and users can monitor agent statuses, manage call queues based on agent status, and track status change activity.

  • As part of Nectar Desk’s call queue, callers can request a callback from an agent, removing the need for callers to wait in queues, and allowing agents the time to answer questions or complaints thoroughly.

  • The real-time multi-queue dashboard enables the monitoring of multiple queues through a single screen, routing of calls to specific agents, cancelling of calls, and assignment of agents to ring groups.

  • Inbound and outbound calls can be recorded, with the option to pause and resume live call recordings, and automatic saving of call recording in clients’ activity logs.

  • The automated voicemail system automatically converts voicemail notifications into computer-readable audio extensions which are sent to a designated email address, with details of voicemail length, caller ID, and frequency of calls.

    Our sales success is the result of:
    - The right staff (capabilities, training and motivation)
    - The right tools
    - The right processes.

    Not only does Nectar comply with the right tools, but it helps on the other two variables. We can train our staff better and keep them more motivated. We have streamlined our call center processes significantly.

    Moreover, every single Nectar team member has been top notch since the beginning. They were very patient and proactive in setting up our account (integration with our hardline IVR). Their support staff have an amazing response time. And they are also proactive in proposing solutions. You can tell they care about their clients, it's just not about increasing accounts.

    Pros

    - CRM and Decision tree integration native integration.
    - Great Marketing Attribution capabilities
    - Ease of use
    - Omnichannel (messenger, whatsapp, SMS & LiveChat)

    Cons

    BOT features should be implemented in chat channels (messenger, whatsapp, SMS & LiveChat). I know that it is in the works.

    Overall the support is always responsive on an off occasion that we had issues.
    The product is intuitive and is continuously being enhanced with new features for better user experience and functionality. I am happy we chose NectarDesk

    Pros

    The software is very intuitive not only for me as the person who monitored the calling but also for our agents whom were using the software for calling more than 50 different countries in different regions.

    Cons

    I would have liked the analytics to be a bit more advanced however we used it solely for calling and did not integrate with our CRM system for contact management hence my response here is a bit biased as we did not use the full extent of available features.

    It was better priced and had everything that we needed. The support was great and there was no tier level support which made us the priority at all times regardless of our purchase amount.

    Horrible 1.We are unable to contact each other internally, we receive busy signals, when we try from outside numbers we cant get through. We tested this many times standing next to users that were not on calls. When this is reported they cant come up with solutions.
    2.Support cant figure out what causes any of the technical issues. Sadly, they blame connectivity issues on all our users regardless of office, home locations and despite having different internet providers.
    3.They don't offer refunds, the first 2 months we had more connectivity issues than ever, regardless of us being unable to successfully use their service and it affecting our business greatly.
    4.When you call they only transfer you to the sales agent, if he/she isn't available no one helped, I had to wait for call backs.
    5.They begged us to transfer our toll free number, they promised to match the Vonage price of $20.00 unlimited toll free a month. We agreed with this condition. Then they charged us over $500.00 dollars a month! We had to go through the trouble of porting it just to port it out again. When we asked why they unexpectedly did this they just repeated "why do you have problem, its in the agreement", after our phone and email conversations?!
    6.They are charging over $500.00 to give us our call recordings in one download.

    Pros

    The sign up transition was fairly easy. They are quick at communicating. Afterwords its a nightmare. Their support team attempts to help resolve the issues, however they don't provide solutions.

    Cons

    Their VOIP system times out every 5 seconds, even during calls therefore dropping ours calls. When trying to make the next call we have to refresh their website. Callers cant reach you, we have to constantly refresh the website every 5 seconds, daily. The connectivity is very bad, at times we cant hear the callers or they cant hear us. There are days are unable to use their service, the calls drop one after another when we try to make outbound calls.

    Reasons for Switching to Nectar Desk

    We wanted a service that offered live customer assistance for emergencies, the customer service agents are available however they didn't provide solutions to the persistent issues all our agents are having so they let us down. In short we feel that they over charged us because we are leaving and they are taking advantage of us. We simply cant to offer our customers good quality service if we stay with them due to all the interrupted calls.

    Cons

    I wish there was a way to search easier for an email template to edit.
