Skill-Based Routing (SBR) is a way to route chats based on agents’ skills, so that your visitors can quickly get the targeted support that they need. Skills can be languages, IT skills, or product areas. 

In the Cloudfon CX CloudCX system, you can group your agents into different departments chat queues according to their responsibilities. Using SBR combined with department chat queue grouping helps you assign incoming visitors to the most suitable agents. By grouping agents into departments chat queues and defining agents’ skills, you can route visitors to agents in a specified department chat queue with certain skills, so that visitors can get targeted support quickly.
