The most frequently asked questions about IVR systems in the contact centre

Plus icon Minus icon

What does IVR mean in a call centre?

IVR stands for Interactive Voice Response. It’s an interactive automated in-call menu that guides callers through a series of voice prompts or touch-tone keypad selections. IVR systems are commonly used in call centres to optimise call distribution and route callers to the appropriate department or agent, gather information, or provide self-service options. Specific types of IVR include Visual IVR, where a visual interface is provided for customers, and payment IVR which is specifically for making secure automated payments.

What is the IVR call process?

Typically, customers calling a contact centre connect straight away to the IVR, though at very high call volumes there may be a brief hold time first. When a caller reaches the IVR system, they are prompted to select from a menu or give verbal answers to voice prompts. Based on the caller’s input the IVR system will offer additional options, route the call to an appropriate agent or provide relevant information or services.

What is IVR helpline number?

An IVR helpline number is a phone number that connects to a dedicated automated IVR designed to provide assistance or information on a specific topic or service.

What are the benefits of IVR to contact centre customers?

As IVR systems are automated they can offer self-service options outside of contact centre opening times on the same phone number customers know and trust. They also optimise the use of agent time by improving routing and deflecting some customers to self-service touchpoints or automated information announcements.
