Automating a company’s workflow means automating specific actions. Automated actions occur in a sequence until a business process is set in place.
A properly automated workflow allows employees to devote less attention to repeated tasks. In the best-case scenario, a process can be fully automated, which speeds up the time needed to complete it and reduces errors.
As an example, automating number dialing and operator connection in call centers increases employee productivity by 3–5 times.

Internal and External Processes
Workflow automation ensures that multi-step processes execute properly. Processes include:
Integrated services can be used in conjunction with automated processes to link analytical tools as well as to transmit and receive data from internal and external corporate software.
Automating internal and external workflow processes improves both the call center's overall performance and the client's experience. Companies can't afford to forgo the use of technology with these features because clients want a hassle-free experience, quick response times, and a seamless process for getting the information.
Examples of external workflow processes include calling, newsletters, and lead generation, while task assignment within teams is an internal process. If you would like to automate your company's external and internal workflows, it's best to use a tool that does it all.

Intelligent Automation to Boost Performance
- Without AutomationImpractical Use of Work Hours
In the process of calling two hundred clients, each operator spends 60 minutes daily just listening to a dial tone. For four operators, that is 4.5 hours a day, 90 hours a month, or 1,080 hours a year spent waiting on the employer's dime.
Slow Response Times
Operators get thousands of requests every day but don't have the time to respond to each one. Clients turn to competitors when operators can't answer right away.
Uncontrolled Sales and Lead Loss
Call center managers often classify clients as one of three types based on the number of completed fields in their inquiry. These fields are hot, warm and cold. Given the operators' workload, cold leads occasionally get lost in the funnel, creating tens of thousands of abandoned clients. When operators decide who to call, they control your profits
Selmo turns all this around. It uses predictive dialing to call incoming inquiries and helps you- “condense” inquiry processing
- Speed up manager response times to new inquiries
- reduce clients' opportunity to choose
- automate the process
- pave the way for staff increases
- With AutomationTwice as Many Conversations
With this dialer, the operator can focus on making calls continuously throughout their shift. When a client picks up the phone, the auto dialer instantly connects them to an available operator. If there's no answer, the program adds that number to a callback list.
The conversation ends → the manager saves the card → the next conversation starts immediately. No interruptions, no dial tones, and no waiting. You productivity increases by 2–3 times.
Lightning-Fast Response Times
Once requests appear in the CRM, Selmo instantly begins processing them. While the manager is in conversation, the dialer calls several database contacts simultaneously and uses statistical data to predict when the conversation will end. As soon as the new client answers, the dialer connects them with an available operator.
No Leads Lost
When clients don't answer, there's no need for managers to manually set new dialing tasks. The dialer moves unanswered calls into a queue and dials the number until the client picks up. Every client gets to talk with a manager. No one gets lost, and no one is left stuck on the line. You have total control.
