## What HiDesk handles as AI reception

HiDesk is your first point of contact on the phone — professional, consistent, always reachable.

### Professional greeting

Every caller is welcomed with a custom greeting in your tone of voice and with the right company name.

HiDesk routes by matter, department, site or time of day — following rules you define.

### Multi-site reception

Several locations, one central reception. HiDesk greets uniformly and routes professionally anywhere.
