800response Makes Capterra’s 2021 Shortlist for Call Tracking Software
Making Capterra’s Shortlist report is a tremendous achievement for 800response. According to Capterra, this new report replaces their Top 20 report with one major difference: “Where the Top 20 was a flat list, Capterra Shortlist plots the top products on a chart, allowing buyers to easily see which products are strongest on each component.”
Not only does this change acknowledge the “nuance and individuality of buyer preferences,” making it easier for buyers to find the right software; it also eliminates the “arbitrary requirement” of Capterra’s Top 20 reports by selecting only the top-scoring products in that category…. Read more »

3 Ways Call Routing Can Work For You While You Work From Home
800response has helped our customers meet these challenges using the call routing services that we have offered for years. From rerouting calls to remote agents to anticipating customer concerns, we’re helping businesses like yours adjust to the shifting landscape of COVID-19.
Here are three ways call routing can work for you while you and your employees work from home.
While there are various advanced routing tools to direct your incoming calls to different store locations, you can also route them to other locations in any manner you choose.
