Interactive Voice Response (IVR) systems are automated telephony solutions that manage inbound calls by interacting with callers through voice prompts or keypad inputs. These systems collect information, provide answers, and route calls efficiently. At Util360, we take IVR to the next level with customized, cloud-based solutions tailored to your business needs—whether you’re a utility provider or an enterprise seeking smarter customer engagement. But what exactly makes our IVR systems stand out, and how can they transform your operations?
How Do Customized IVR Systems Work?
A customized IVR system from Util360 operates using a blend of advanced telephony, cloud infrastructure, and intelligent software. When a customer calls, the IVR greets them with pre-recorded messages or dynamic prompts based on real-time data. Callers respond via voice commands or keypad entries, and the system processes their input to deliver information or connect them to the right resource.
Our IVR leverages technologies like natural language processing (NLP) for voice recognition and integrates with your existing tools—such as Enterprise Utility Billing Management—to pull account details instantly. Hosted in the cloud, it ensures reliability and scalability without the need for on-premises hardware.

Use Cases for Customized IVR with Util360
Util360’s IVR systems shine across industries, especially for utilities. Here’s how they’re applied:
1. Customer Self-Service
Callers can check balances, make payments, or update their details without an agent. When a customer asks, “What’s my water bill?” the IVR, linked to the billing system, instantly provides the exact amount—all within seconds.
2. Call Routing
High call volumes? Our IVR sorts them smartly. A customer reporting a meter issue gets routed to support, while a billing query goes straight to self-service, saving time for everyone.
3. Information Delivery
Need to share updates? The IVR can deliver conservation advice or outage alerts, pulling data from Meter Data Management to keep customers informed.
