Customer Verification

In business, time is money and usually the biggest cost to many businesses is the wage bill.  Getting the most out of your staff  as well as keeping the requirement for training to a minimum is essential.

The Customer Verification IVR allows businesses to capture information from callers before the call gets answered.  By the time the call is answered the user can be provided with all the customer's details and can get straight to the reason the customer called.  When used in conjunction with screen popping the customer's record can be located for the user in whatever CRM or database package is in use.

Identifying a customer early in a call before it gets answered also offers these benefits:

  • Important customers can be re-routed to priority lines
  • Customers who are over due payment can be routed straight to accounts

Below are some other examples of how this solution can be used:

Order Number

Customers calling about a specific order can enter their order number whilst waiting to be answered.  Depending on the order status the IVR can route the call to a different location or notify the customer of the status so that they can hang up if that's all they needed.

Support Ticket / Contract

Customers ringing up for support can be prompted for their contract or ticket number before they get to the help desk.  This not only frees up engineers' time but also ensures that only customers with valid support contracts are transferred through to the support desk.  Customers without contracts can be transferred to sales to process as a potential opportunity.
