Interactive voice response (IVR) system

The IVR system is the automated voice prompts that guide callers on how to get help through the virtual customer self-service platform. The IVR system is ideal for institutions that handle high call volumes every day. Ideally, the IVR system will be particularly important to banking and financial institutions, the insurance companies in Kenya.

So, when a caller calls, they will be directed to a virtual receptionist whereupon a welcome message will be playing. The voice prompts will come up immediately after the welcome message. For example, the interactive voice response system can guide callers on how to reverse a transaction, block a lost VISA card, etc. Additionally, the IVR will still be able to direct the caller to a human call agent if the issue cannot be addressed through the automated voice prompts.

Automatic call distribution

This is an intelligent call queuing system that efficiently distributes incoming calls received among the available call agents. When all the call agents are engaged, the IVR will replay followed by an advertisement about company products and services. Even so, the music on hold will play as an active call is being transferred to the most relevant department. The IVR system will provide an opportunity for a company to advertise newly introduced products and services even customers wait in the queue to be served.

Predictive dialer

In as much as the automatic call distributor manages incoming calls, the predictive dialer manages outgoing calls. This call center software feature reads telephone numbers as provided in the list and automatically dials them one by one. When the contacted customer answers, the call will be connected to the call agent. It moves to the next telephone number automatically until all the customers have been contacted. This feature is particularly ideal for debt collection agents in the financial and banking sector. The predictive dialer is an IP telephony tool that automatically dials a list of customer phone numbers from the CRM system.

Softphone apps

The use of physical desktop phones can be tiring especially in a busy setup where call agents handle as much as 100 calls per shift. Hence the need for softphone apps that can facilitate hands-free calling. The softphone can be installed on desktop computers and laptops. The call agents will be able to make outgoing calls and receive incoming calls using the headsets. The softphone applications come with productivity features such as instant chat messaging, presence plus a host of unified communications functionalities.
