IVR systems are ubiquitous in the world of customer service but up until now those employing were relying primarily on customer response to address any technical issues within their platform. But now there is an alternative. Pronexuswhich is known for its robust line of IVR management tools has released a new utility designed to monitor and report any technical malfunctions that could be occurring on a customer service IVR platform. This will allow users to quickly identify and address problems and eliminate customer bottle necks.
IVRgaurd offers users an intuitive password protect web interface, a detail oriented log and a script builder that can be used to test specific aspects of the IVR or speech recognition software. The log will make note of each call-in attempt and will specify exactly where a disconnection takes place.
