At our place dispatchers answer the consumers’ calls, but it’s difficult for them to do their work and communicate with subscribers at one and the same time. The idea of a call-center establishment has attracted us. The call-center filters the most part of calls, removes a load off the dispatchers and gives the consumers the necessary information”.
