Drag-and-drop chatbots
No coding needed. With Dialpad, you can take full control of your customer journey from shopping to cart checkout. Create chatbots and design dialogue flows with questions and answers—and even include images and video instead of just having text-based answers—with just a few clicks.
Easy call routing
Why pay for an answering service? With Dialpad's easy-to-customize IVR and call routing options, you can let your callers route themselves to the right department and self-service to find answers to basic questions like store hours and refund policies. Dialpad's analytics even show you which IVR options are being used the most (and least) so you can continuously optimize your menu!
Built-in analytics
How many phone calls are you getting? How many calls are being abandoned or missed? What are customers asking about? These metrics and KPIs are important for ecommerce contact center managers to have on hand in real time (instead of after the fact), and Dialpad’s contact center platform has built-in heat maps and dashboards showing exactly that.
Real-time transcriptions
Dialpad Ai can not only transcribe phone calls in real time, but also track how often keywords come up (like "pricing" or "refunds"). With this data, managers can spot problem areas early—and train agents on how to answer those questions.
Making super-supervisors
Another fun thing about Dialpad Ai: It can analyze sentiment in real time and show supervisors which calls are going south. This way, it's easier to monitor multiple active calls. And when they do spot a call with negative sentiment, they can open up that real-time transcript to get more context before deciding whether to jump in and help the agent.
RTA cards: Your agents' BFF
When agents get tricky questions (which can happen a lot), Dialpad Ai can even automatically pop up RTA (Real-time Assist) cards, which are basically notes tailored to that specific topic—in real time as the question is asked. Instead of personally helping on every call, call center supervisors can create these RTA cards for any number of topics (like "pricing" or a new feature that customers are asking a lot about) to train and help agents at scale.
Get set up in minutes
Let's face it. Most ecommerce call center solutions aren't easy to set up. Want to add phone numbers or move agents to different departments? Change your dialing menu or your in-queue callback settings? You used to have to contact customer support and wait for hours or days to implement those changes. With Dialpad, you can do all that in minutes, right from your online dashboard.
Advanced WFM/QM capabilities
Want to go even further? Dialpad also integrates with Playvox to give you WFM and QM (quality management) capabilities like gamification, schedule adherence, forecasting and more.
24/7 support
Your ecommerce contact center's helpdesk is probably open around the clock. So is Dialpad's, with 24/7 phone and live chat customer support—worldwide. Want to self-service? No problem. We have a detailed online knowledge base that you can check whenever you want.
All your channels in one place
Compared to call center services, contact center solutions give you other communication channels (sometimes called omnichannel) too, whether that's natively or through integrations. That means that beyond just outbound and inbound calls, your agents will be able to manage SMS conversations, live chat, social media, and more. Dialpad, for instance, lets your ecommerce team handle not only phone calls but also digital channels.
Integrations with your favorite tools
If you're like most ecommerce call center teams, you're probably using a bunch of different tools, from CRMs like HubSpot or Salesforce to ticketing tools like Zendesk. Dialpad integrates with a range of different ecommerce business software, and can embed a CTI dialer right in those tools so agents can take calls without switching back and forth between tabs. (There's also an API that lets you build custom integrations!)
Robust security standards
Many businesses in the ecommerce industry rely on not only the online shopping experience, but also the over-the-phone experience. That means your agents should always be equipped to take payments safely and securely over the phone. Dialpad can help you stay compliant with SOC2 Type II, HIPAA, and GDPR—and more importantly, can help you maintain PCI compliance through its APIs.
Coaching playlists
Speaking of recordings, you can also create playlists of the best (or worst) calls your team has had with customers, so that new hires and even more seasoned agents can listen to these playlists and learn on their own time.

Dialpad Ai Contact Center vs. call center software for ecommerce and other contact center platforms
🌟 Native capabilities
- Owns all of its own technology and features—including AI, real-time transcription, omnichannel, and self-service chatbot functionality.
- Typically needs partner integrations / third-party tools to provide full range of functionality, like AI, transcription, and omnichannel support.
⏰ Time-to-Value (TTV)
- Setting up a new contact center takes as little as a few minutes thanks to Dialpad’s cloud-native platform and menu-driven self-configuration.
- Setting up new users can take days or weeks, requiring significant professional services involvement.
📈 Scalability
- Incredibly easy to scale up and down—you can add and remove call queues, and hundreds of users all on your own!
- Can scale up (more easily with cloud than on-prem platforms), but difficult to scale users back down if business is only seasonally busy (even for cloud solutions).
💰 Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
- Dialpad offers transparent pricing, high-value bundles of capabilities, and support is always included in all plans.
- May entice customers with a low initial price point that doesn’t include many needed features.
