IVR (Interactive Voice Response) is an automated phone system that enables callers to interact with a computerized system using voice prompts and keypad inputs. It provides information, guides users through menu options, and routes calls to the appropriate departments or specialists without needing a human operator.
When a customer calls, the first step is to gather information about their reason for calling through an IVR. The customer enters inputs, and this information is collected.
The next step is to arrange the call queue and sort customers into a waiting list based on agent availability and suitability. ACD considers factors like call volume, time of day, queue wait times, and the department handling the call to determine the queue order.
Finally, ACD distributes the call to the best-equipped agent to handle the customer's specific concern based on the information gathered in the first two steps.
