Overview

Project a professional image from day one with our intelligent Auto-Attendant system. Create multi-level IVR menus that greet callers in their language, route them based on their needs, and connect them to the right department — all without a human receptionist. Combined with our advanced call routing engine, your business handles call volumes that would overwhelm a traditional phone system, while ensuring no customer is ever left waiting or lost.

Key Features

Everything you need, built into one service

Professional IVR Menus

Create multi-level interactive voice response menus with professional greetings. Supports DTMF (keypress) and speech recognition. Record custom greetings or use our AI text-to-speech engine with natural-sounding voices in English and French.

Time-Based Routing

Route calls differently based on time of day, day of week, or calendar dates. Business hours calls go to your team; after-hours calls route to voicemail, an on-call number, or your AI receptionist.

Ring Groups

Create teams that ring simultaneously (all at once), sequentially (round-robin), or based on longest idle time. Configure different ring groups for sales, support, billing, and other departments.

Call Queues

When all agents are busy, callers enter a professional queue with estimated wait time, position updates, and music on hold. Automatic callback option lets callers hang up and receive a call back when an agent is free.

Holiday Schedules

Pre-configure special routing for holidays and company events. Set custom greetings for each holiday and route calls to backup destinations. Supports multi-country holiday calendars.

Geo-Based Routing

Automatically route callers to the nearest office or the team that speaks their language based on the originating number's country code. A caller from Cameroon hears French; a caller from Nigeria hears English.
