TalkSwitch + Pronexus VBVoice

Interactive Voice Response Solutions for Small Business


Pronexus' award-winning VBVoice connects your TalkSwitch telephone system with databases or other applications to make Interactive Voice Response solutions. Your callers can retrieve information or submit new data automatically, using touch tones or speech.

With TalkSwitch and VBVoice, you can distribute dynamic, caller-specific information like account balances, nearest locations or directions. You can also automatically call your customers with appointment reminders, shipping status and interactive surveys.

Inbound Call Solutions
You can use VBVoice with TalkSwitch to create a myriad of interactive possibilites for inbound calls, including:

  • Banking and financial IVRs: callers can check account balances, pay bills, transfer money, and more
  • Travel and transportation IVRs: callers can check bus/subway/train/airplane schedules, purchase tickets, confirm flights and more
  • Retail IVRs: callers can locate a store in their surrounding area, get directions and hours of operations
  • Real estate IVRs: potential customers can call in and retrieve information about a property based on its identification number. In addition, real estate agents can update their IVR with the latest information regarding a property through a simple phone call

Outbound Call Solutions
You can also use VBVoice to create outbound IVR applications for TalkSwitch, including:

  • Customer survey applications: measure the satisfaction levels of customers after purchases, deliveries or services have been performed
  • Appointment reminders: doctors, dentists, salons and auto repair shops can use automated outbound IVRs to remind patients of appointments, schedule openings, and deliver reminders of medication requirements
  • Employee and customer notifications: deliver time-critical information to employees and customers such as last-minute shift schedule updates or sale announcements
  • Order status IVRs: retail vendors who ship products can automatically place calls to customers as orders arrive or ship

Telephone, meet the database
VBVoice features open database connectivity (ODBC). You can easily connect your IVR with your current database infrastructure. VBVoice/ODBC compliance allows applications to pull information from virtually any data source including SQL Server, Oracle and MS Access databases. And you can connect your TalkSwitch system with Windows-based applications, including third party software (billing, accounting, CRM applications and more)
