Reliably route calls according to your on-call schedules.
Roll over calls, chats, and texts according to your organization’s and community’s unique needs.
Agencies trust us to run their hotlines.
State & National Hotlines
Does your provider not dispatch callback requests according to your on-call schedules? Do they send calls to the wrong agency, or to advocates that aren’t on-call? Do they give advocates enough time to answer?
A good hotline management system is one that you don’t notice.
Robust Scheduling
- Admin staff can make any change to the shift schedule
- Volunteers can request shift changes that have to be approved by your admin staff.
All this can be done in bulk, with just a few clicks.
Real-Time Call Logs
- Know the type of the call before you accept (or decline) it
- Have enough time to answer calls
- Automatically track type of call and the language of the caller
- Track hold times, talk times, who missed the call and who didn’t
- Special features for call routing in rural areas like real-time identification of possible reception issues
- Visualize how many calls were answered over time (and other metrics) via a separate dashboard
- Easily download statistics useful for VOCA
Chat & Text
We worked with 24h hotlines across the country to build a fully-featured & user-friendly chat application for you
Your on call teams will be notified of new chats/texts via text message, and clients can exit the chat quickly to a safe website with the click of a button button.
We’ve made it incredibly easy to integrate chat & text into your hotline so that your community has more options to get the help they need.
Sophisticated Burnout Protection
- Get ahead of burnout with our Burnout Protection Dashboard, that flags individuals at risk of burning out
- Enforce boundaries with any specific high-volume callers to reduce staff/volunteer burnout
