Web Phone
WebRTC Web Phone is a solution that provides the facility for the users to make and take calls through the internet browsers.
As the name suggests, Web meaning internet, and RTC meaning Real Time Communication, this solution allows a user to manage calls through internet browser.
It also simplifies the browser communication and improves customer experience. Some of the WebRTC based applications are WhatsApp, GoToMeeting, Google Meet, etc.
The customer details and all other information is accessible on the Agent UI, so why not provide the facility to eliminate the dedicated devices to make / receive calls and provide a single platform to handle calls and manage the customer information on our Agent UI itself.
