IVR - Interactive Voice Response
Use the UnicoTel IVR (Automatic Voice Announcement Customer Service System) to implement your professional telephone customer service efficiently and cost effectively.
IVR is an interactive menu system which allows the calling party to communicate with a customer service system using the pushbuttons of a traditional telephone device. Callers are typically greeted by a voice announcement menu, and based on the responses provided, potential other voice announcements are played, to which the caller once again reacts, and so on, until the desired information or service is reached. The process may be interrupted in any of the menu items, and the call can be connected to any telephone number belonging to the customer service attendant(s). Invoice information and balance queries are today frequently managed using this service, and even contracting over the telephone is possible.
The IVR service is ideal for all companies where various units and departments operate in geographically distinct locations, since the UnicoTel solution can be used to access them using one number.
