SmartAction Introduces Intelligent Voice Automation For Small-Medium Business (IVA® for SMB)

January 20, 2016 - SmartAction announced today that the company has launched Intelligent Voice Automation for Small-Medium Business (IVA® for SMB).

IVA® for SMB is SmartAction's newest disruption in voice self-service: 100% natural language solutions pre-built for super-fast deployment. Like IVA® for Enterprise, the company's proprietary call automation solution that takes ground-breaking artificial intelligence and infuses it with state-of-the-art speech recognition capabilities, the SMB version will also offer a customer service experience that rivals that of a live person. But unlike other complex natural language solutions, which are often costly and require long implementation lifecycles, IVA® for SMB is customized and integrated in a matter of days with no capital expenditures required. The initial rollout of IVA® for SMB will be available for Payments and Appointment Confirmations.

Payments for SMB will be capable of assisting callers in paying invoices and/or outstanding balances 24/7/365. It will be quickly configured to accept credit cards or checks over the phone without needing a live person; a company's employees will be free to focus on other customer service requests that add the most value. The service, like SmartAction's Payment Solution for Enterprise, is PCI Certified and cloud-based.

Appointment Confirmations for SMB will feature outbound calls to customers, using natural language to remind them about an upcoming appointment or reservation. The service is employed at the enterprise level with great ROI success because it limits no-shows effortlessly for both customers and company employees. Appointment Confirmations for SMB are configured to tighten up reservation and appointment schedules for doctor's offices, restaurants, hotels, shipping and logistics companies, and service providers.

Subsequent capabilities of IVA® for SMB will roll out this winter and include Surveys, Outbound Collections, Address Update, Shipping Status, and more.

"In my experience, a natural language solution like this is generally very costly and difficult to implement. IVA® for SMB is the easiest and cheapest way to obtain an excellent natural language voice self-service platform," said CEO Tom Lewis. "Our goal with the SMB version is to enhance the customer experience for many more companies, no matter their call volume."
