Predictive dialers are popular call center tools because they result in significant savings by reducing the number of agents required to handle a given volume of outbound calls. Every minute spent by an agent on tasks other than speaking with a live customer is inefficient.
Dialing numbers is time not spent handling support and potential customer calls. This makes dialers central tools for call center productivity enhancement.

The new Loway's predictive dialer benefits from a few enhancements, with its latest release: WombatDialer 16.06.
In this tutorial we cover how to use the new Live Real time panel, explaining how all it's features work.
