Having researched a range of different hosted contact centre solutions, it was clear that Sabio is the best option for our business. With On Demand Sabio not only exceeded our technology requirements, but the company’s services will also ensure that our core customer experience platform keeps Journeycall at the forefront of customer engagement innovation. Sabio’s On Demand solution for Journeycall combines a comprehensive voice capability for the company’s 150 contact centre agents, as well as full webchat and email support.
