Businesses are moving towards the smarter ways to serve their customers. One such smart solution that can help businesses to grow is a cloud-based IVR system. But what exactly is it, and how does the IVR work? Let's understand this in detail: how do IVR systems work, and how can they help businesses to grow?
IVR stands for the interactive voice response system, which has been very famous for decades, But after the covid it gained much popularity in India. It is the voice menu you hear when you call a business's customer care number, like "press 2 for account, press 2 for customer care."
Actually, a cloud-based IVR does the same job, but instead of relying on bulky hardware installed at your office, it actually runs on the internet, which is also known as "the cloud." This makes it even more flexible, efficient, cost effective and easier to manage.
How Does IVR Work?
When a customer dials your business number, the call is automatically routed through a virtual phone system hosted in the cloud. This system is managed by a cloud telephony provider like Xclusivedesk.com. The system plays an already recorded message like "Welcome to XYZ company; we are here to help you. please press 1 for sales, press 2 for support, and press 3 for account." This is the IVR flow, which can be easily customized online. The customization process is easy; you have to create a short script and give it to the Expert of XclusiveDesk. if you are not able to do it, we can make it for you.
The system waits for the caller to press any key to respond. Thanks to DTMF (Dual tone multi-frequency), it can detect what the user wants. Based on the input, the system routes the call to the correct department or agent. For example, if the caller presses 1, it goes to sales; if the caller presses 3, the call will divert to accounts.
Another very useful thing that the IVR system includes is its CRM Integration. our IVR system is connected with the CRM tool provided by us. It gives you detailed data about call flow, like Caller's details, history and previous interactions, in real time. This leads to better and faster support.
All calls can be recorded automatically for training and compliance purposes. You also get analytics like call duration, drop rate, and high call volume hours—all accessible through a dashboard, which makes a big difference.
