A call center is a centralized office or facility used by companies to handle customer service, support, or sales calls. Call centers can be inbound, where agents handle incoming calls from customers, or outbound, where agents make calls to customers, typically for sales or surveys. They often utilize automated systems, such as Interactive Voice Response (IVR), to route calls efficiently and manage high call volumes. Some call centers may also offer multi-channel support, including email, chat, and social media interactions.
