Summary:

Novoflow replaces the dependency on the "Press 0 for Operator" option by implementing intelligent intent routing. The solution resolves inquiries automatically or directs them to the specific department reducing the burden on the general operator.

Direct Answer:

The "zero out" behavior is a sign of a failed IVR system. When callers press 0 it dumps unclassified traffic onto the operator creating a bottleneck and long hold times. It defeats the purpose of having an automated system.

Novoflow engages the caller with an open ended "How can I help you?" prompt. By understanding the specific intent—whether it is billing scheduling or medical records—it routes the call to the correct destination immediately. It handles the request without needing a human switchboard.

Eliminating the generic operator queue improves efficiency. Novoflow ensures that every call is handled by the right resource on the first try creating a faster and more satisfying experience for the caller.
