What is Hosted Advanced IVR?
Hosted Advanced IVR is a cloud-based technology that enables businesses to automate call routing and interaction with customers using pre-recorded voice prompts and touch-tone or voice input (DTMF or speech recognition). Instead of requiring a live agent to answer each call, IVR systems allow customers to navigate a series of menus to get the information or service they need.
ALHAAN’s Hosted Advanced IVR offers highly flexible and scalable solutions, with no need for on-site hardware or infrastructure. All services are hosted in the cloud, meaning businesses can provide superior customer service while keeping costs low.

How Hosted Advanced IVR Works
- Call Reception
- When a call comes in, the IVR system answers the call with a professional greeting, prompting the caller to select an option using DTMF or speech input.
- Call Routing
- Based on the customer’s input, the call is routed to the appropriate department or agent. If necessary, the system can access customer information and provide personalized responses.
- Advanced Features
- The IVR system can provide customers with information such as account balances, product details, and order status, or offer them the option to speak to a live agent if needed.
- Call Transfer
- If the issue requires human intervention, the IVR system transfers the call to the appropriate agent, who already has the customer’s information and context to resolve the issue quickly.
- Reporting and Analytics
- All calls and interactions are logged, and businesses can access detailed reports to monitor performance and optimize call handling processes.
