CCW Digital Glossary: Virtual Queue

An alternative to actually waiting in an ACD queue, a virtual queue effectively holds the customer’s place in line.  When an agent is available, the system will call the customer back and immediately connect him to said agent.  The system may, alternatively, allow the customer to simply make an appointment for a callback at a more convenient time.
