Direct routing is a feature of a PBX system that allows the user to set up their own rules for how calls are routed. This is important because it enables the user to create customized routing systems, which can be used for many different purposes. For example, if you’re a call center, you can set up your PBX, so that calls from customers who have recently made purchases go straight to your sales team. Or, if you’re running a call center for your company’s help desk, you could set up your system so that calls from customers who are not VIPs (a group of customers who are very valuable to your company) go straight to the next available agent in line, while VIPs get routed directly to an agent with more experience handling their particular needs.
