French term

redondance d’appel

French to English Other Other Customer Call Centre
The document provides a point-form list of factors contributing to the improvement in efficiency of a big company's customer call centre. One of the items on this list is the:

- la diminution de la redondance d’appel

My query lies in the meaning of the word 'redondance' in this context. What immediately comes to mind is a reduction in missed calls. However, I'm not sure... suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Reference:

"This multiplication of redundant calls (up to several tens of calls for a same incident in some cases) can lead to an overload of PSAPs. Filtering redundant calls (assuming for instance that the calls placed at the same time in a same limited area relate to the same incident) could contribute to prevent PSAPs from overloading. The filtering function should be the responsibility of the PSAPs."

Redundancy is about repetition of information or provision. Some redundancy is useful, as it acts as a safeguard that the information is received and acted upon, excessive redundancy clogs up the system.
