What is a call centre?

A call centre is where an organisation handles customer telephone calls. Call centres typically use some amount of computer automation software and provide inbound and outbound interactions as well as voice-based self-service customer interactions.

What’s the difference between a call centre and contact centre?

A call centre, as its name implies, is used for handling customer calls. A contact centre is used to handle all types of contact points — from text messaging to email, webchat, phone calls and more.
