    Overview Call Router is an optional application for Strata ACD. Call Router is used to route calls based on the identity of the caller. It is an intelligent call routing system that uses caller information and schedules to route calls to a specific person, group, or automated application. Callers can be routed based on Caller ID, Account Codes, or other identifying information.
