Somtel Call Center Platform

Interactive voice response that routes your callers to the right place, automatically.

Widest network coverage

No hidden charges

24/7 customer care

A call centre without the call centre

Somtel's IVR platform answers your business calls on a dedicated short code, greets the caller in their language, and routes them to the right team through a simple menu - so nobody waits on hold for the wrong department.

What it does

  • Answers every call

    On a short code that is easy for customers to remember

  • Guides callers through a menu

    Press 1 for sales, 2 for support, and so on

  • Routes to the right agent

    Based on the choice the caller makes

  • Handles overflow

    By queueing callers instead of dropping them

  • Works around the clock

    With recorded information outside office hours

Managing your agents

Each member of staff gets an agent account they sign into from a handset or a desk phone. Supervisors can see who is available, how many callers are waiting, and how long each call took. Add or remove agents as your team changes.

Good to know

The detail, in short

Reporting

The platform records call volumes, answer rates, average handling time and which menu options callers choose most. That last figure is often the most useful - it shows you where your customers actually need help.

Who it suits

Banks, insurers, hospitals, utilities, logistics firms, government offices and any business fielding more calls than a single line can carry.

Getting started

Contact the Somtel enterprise team. We assign your short code, build your menu structure with you, create accounts for your agents, and train your supervisors. Short codes are rented monthly, priced by the number of agent seats you need.
