Electronic Call Answer Services

Limelight Software Solutions have developed & deployed a number of services

that ensures your clients phone calls are always received and intelligently

resolved.

These services include;

Nightline

08Plus

0861 Call Answer

Nightline greatly enhances a company’s existing PBX nightline / after hours

service.

When the switchboard operator leaves their seat and presses the “nightline”

button on the PBX, most PBX’s are setup to either ring a general area bell or

play an IVR message to the caller and then record a voice message.

Too often, the caller is left frustrated as;

the general bell is simply ignored & the call not answered or

an unqualified person answers who is unable to help the caller, e.g. a

security guard or

the caller leaves a voice message, but it is never passed on to the correct

person for action.

With

Nightline

, as soon as the operator presses the PBX nightline button, all

incoming calls are seamlessly switched to Limelight’s

Intelligent IVR Service

(see service description below).

Nightline

will ensure the caller;

is immediately connected to the right person’s Cell or landline or

has their voice message delivered to the right person via email and

the right person gets an SMS telling them about the message and

enables the right person to listen to the message and take action.

Simply put, with

Nightline

, a company extends their client service to 24 /7.

And Nightline can be activated at any time by the switchboard operator, either

at the end of the day or if they are called away.

Nightline

requires no additional equipment, just a simple setting update to

your PBX.

If you don’t have a PBX,

you can still get all the great benefits of

Nightline

by

activating

Nightline

from Telkom’s standard Call Forward service.

08PLUS:

08PLUS

can be added to any of Telkom’s existing 08, 0860 and 0861

numbers.

When any of the below events happen, the caller is seamlessly switched to

Limelight’s

(see system description below).

Call Answer

0861 Call Answer:

Do you need:

The presence of a large business, even if you are small?

A PBX that looks after your callers itself?

A national number to advertise your services & products 24 / 7?

A national number that’s easy to remember, e.g. 0861 ACTION ?

Receive faxes on the same number without a fax machine?

All the benefits of

Nightline

and

08PLUS

.

Then you need Limelight’s

0861 Call Answer

service.

Choose you own 0861 “alpha” number or accept Telkom’s allocated number

(yes, Telkom charges extra for the alpha number – but that’s Telkom!).

Alpha numbers can be longer than 10 digits, e.g. 0861 SERVICING (0861

737842464). As soon as the caller enters the 10

digit, the call will connect.

Obviously, your alpha number can’t be an existing number.

All calls to your 0861 number are immediately answered by our

Intelligent

IVR Service

.

Make your service as simple or as detailed as you need.

Faxes are received and sent to you as email.

Use it exclusively for call routing or as an answer service or a marketing line or

a competition line or a combination of these – its up to you.

Intelligent IVR Service

Intelligent IVR Service

The Intelligent IVR Service works like many other IVR (interactive voice response) systems, it just has so much more flexibility and so many more features than anything else available.

Each Service consists of a set of up to 100 recordings:
1 X Welcome message

9 Main Menu options

9 X 9 (81) Sub-Menu options.
9 X Caller Action messages.

You decide which ones to use, what they must say and how they are played to your customer.

Simple Example:

“Welcome to MyCo. Please select from one of the following options.
For Sales, Press 1

For Servicing, press 2

For Parts & Accessories, press 3
For emergencies, press 4

Please note our normal business hours are from 08h00 to 15h00”

Now you decide if you want more detail for any options, e.g. assuming the caller pressed 2 for Servicing then it could say:

To book your car in for a service, press 1

To inquire if your car is ready for collection, press 2

The system seamlessly plays the recordings in the sequence you design.

But this is straight forward IVR, so where is the

magic

The

magic

Message No: 1

Billing Name: MyCo - Derrick Connect No: 082 250 5566 Connect Seconds 25

Email: [email protected]: [email protected] SMS Cell No: 083 360 9988

So how does the system use this table to make

magic

Easy. Lets assume in the simple example above, the user pressed 1 (for Sales), the system now uses the table to;

Connect the caller to 082 250 5566

(you choose if you want music playing while the connection is being made or you can tell the caller about your products).

As soon as 082 250 5566 answers, then mission accomplished. The Caller is connected to the right person.

If 082 250 5566 does not answer by the Connect Seconds limit (25 seconds in the example), then the system informs the caller that the person is unavailable and allows them the option to either enter a different menu option or leave a Voice Message.

The Connect No can be any phone number in the world – land or cell number.

If you don’t want to offer the caller a connect option, but only want to offer a Voice Message service, then just leave the Connect No blank. The system will immediately go into Voice Message mode.

The SMS Cell No is optional. If completed and the system takes a Voice Message then, in this example, it will SMS 083 360 9988, informing them of the call. The SMS also provides a number that can be called to listen to the Voice Message.

Voice Message: For every Voice Message recorded, the system will o Send an email to all the recipients in the table.

o The email contains a “Click Here” link that will play the recorded Voice Message over the internet.

o If you want the actual Voice Recording file, you simply click Reply & Send to the email & it will be delivered to you.

In addition to the standard IVR options, the

Intelligent IVR Service

100 table details. In a matter of seconds, you can;

o change a Connect No from your land line to your Cell No or from one Cell to another. Great for managing people on leave.

o Change an email recipients address or add another one.

o Change the Connect Seconds. Set the Connect Seconds to be longer than the Cell phones own voice mail service and their phone will go to voice mail with the Caller leaving a message on the Cell phone.

• Faxes are received and sent to you as email.
