How call accounting system works?
The call accounting system can process and log all different types of calls and assign the cost to the different calls. It can also label a call as the personal or professional call. At predefined intervals (Daily / Weekly / Bi-weekly / Monthly), the call records will be sent to the concerned person to review.
The call accounting system also automates certain notifications and reports. It means a report will be sent to the supervisor when a predefined criterion meets or on a specific day of the week / month. This saves time of the supervisors and save their efforts otherwise spent on manual tasks.
