What is GOCare SmartVoice?

Edited

Quick Summary

GOCare SmartVoice transforms the traditional IVR into a smarter, more flexible voice experience—helping service providers route calls, deliver real-time information, and deflect unnecessary support volume through automation and intelligent self-service.


Introduction

GOCare SmartVoice is an intelligent voice response module built specifically for broadband providers. It extends the GOCare platform into the voice channel, allowing subscribers to call in and interact with a dynamic, automated system that understands account context, delivers relevant updates, and routes calls appropriately.

Unlike static or hard-coded IVR menus, SmartVoice is dynamic, data-driven, and tightly integrated with the rest of the GOCare ecosystem—including Messenger, Connect, and OutageIQ. Whether it's confirming a balance, checking for outages, or escalating to a live agent, SmartVoice improves customer experience while reducing unnecessary call volume.


Key Capabilities

Intelligent Call Routing

  • Uses real-time account and network data to determine the best routing path.

  • Can escalate to a live agent, direct to voicemail, or trigger an SMS follow-up.

  • Helps streamline operations by connecting customers to the right place, faster.

Real-Time Account Awareness

  • Delivers automated voice responses based on customer status:

    • “Your account is past due.”

    • “There is a service outage in your area.”

    • “Your next appointment is scheduled for tomorrow.”

  • Works in sync with Messenger and OutageIQ to ensure consistency.

Automated Call Deflection

  • For known outages or payment issues, customers can be routed to automated updates instead of agents.

  • Reduces support center strain during high-volume events.

  • Supports callback requests or SMS deflection when applicable.

Personalized Experience

  • Recognizes callers based on phone number and account match (when available).

  • Customizes the experience based on account type, location, or customer segment.

  • Enables priority routing or VIP logic when configured.


System Structure

Call Handling Logic

  • Calls are routed based on dynamic conditions like:

    • Account balance

    • Service status

    • Scheduled maintenance

    • Time of day or business hours

  • GOCare builds and maintains this logic in coordination with your business rules.

Integration with GOCare Platform

  • Messenger: SmartVoice can trigger outbound texts or respond with payment links via SMS.

  • Connect: Calls escalated to live support appear in the customer’s communication journey.

  • OutageIQ: If there’s an active event in the caller’s area, SmartVoice can announce it and avoid unnecessary transfers.

Custom Greetings & Menus

  • Voice prompts are recorded using your brand voice or GOCare’s default voice talent.

  • Menu options are customizable and can change dynamically (e.g., announce known issues).
