The Challenge:
Vicidial is a powerful call center software solution, but one common issue faced by users is the lack of an intuitive playback button on the User Stats page. Listening to recordings usually involves downloading files and using external media players. This not only complicates the process but can also lead to inefficiencies and difficulties in managing a large volume of recordings.
