The first thing that you need to do is have a Contact Center business unit account. Tell your Account Manager that you want your team to start using the TernioSwitch mobile solution. They will make arrangements to have that implemented immediately. If you have any questions, or would like a live demo, reach out to us at support@ternio.com anytime.

You add your agents to the TernioSwitch at anytime with the click of a button. Here’s how it works:

Whoever is setup as your company Admin will go to the TernioSwitch dashboard where they will find the “Add Users” in the menu section. From there they add as many agents as they want at the click of a button.  Then your agents just go to the App Store on their mobile device and download the TernioSwitch app. They login to the app using their Nice inContact credentials.  It’s that simple!

Each company sets their own security profiles through your Contact Center business unit. The TernioSwitch will notify each agent when a password change is required. A popup will appear on the TernioSwitch for the agent to enter a new password and press “Save”. Everything is then instantly synced with inContact and the agent is ready continue to use the TernioSwitch as usual.

The simple answer is No.

There are some requirements that need to be understood. The TernioSwitch is a connected application. The mobile app is built around the functionality of the Contact Center platform. The TernioSwitch needs to be in frequent communication with Contact Center, in the same way that the Agent Console on a browser does. The TernioSwitch can not be used without being connected to the internet or cell, just like the Agent Console can’t work without an internet connection.

To assist the agents with this, we’ve added a red popup banner on the bottom of the TernioSwitch. This banner will show the agents when they’ve entered an area without network connectivity. This notification allows the agents to acknowledge that they will loose connection to central within 5 minutes, unless they move to an area with an acceptable cell or WiFi connection.

The agents will alway know when they are out of range. They can always just log back into the TernioSwitch when they return to a connected area.

Our test results showed minimal DATA usage @ just 2-3MB over an 8 hours period.

The tests also showed moderate BATTERY usage @ roughly 35% over the same 8 hour period. (Note that the performance of each device will differ)

Work Items are not integrated into the TernioSwitch at this time. Is this a feature that would help your team? 

We love suggestions and feedback on any features that will add value to your teams.

Call us at 800-429-9277 and let us know.

That’s a great question.  Security is our top priority and the TernioSwitch mobile app uses 256 AES encryption- the strongest and most robust encryption standard that is commercially available today.

Also, our security protocol is set so that all of your company’s data is automatically deleted every 30 days.  If a company’s security needs are more stringent than that, they can by request have us set that auto-delete for anywhere between 0-30 days, with 0 being that we will not store any data on our servers.
