IVR for Logistics, Transport and Courier Companies

IVR for logistics companies is a cloud phone menu on a virtual number: callers press a key and reach booking, consignment status support or accounts without a receptionist. It needs no hardware, and your team takes the calls on their own mobiles.

A courier or freight number rings for many reasons at once. A shipper asks for a pickup, or when a booked truck will be placed. A consignee who missed the delivery attempt wants the next slot. Someone with an LR or AWB number asks where the consignment is, or for a copy of the POD, and a merchant asks when collected cash will be remitted. A multi-level IVR gives these calls different keys, so booking calls reach the pickup desk, status calls reach support and remittance questions reach accounts. Dispatchers, drivers and hub staff use a separate virtual number that rings the dispatcher's mobile, so a call from the road does not join the customer queue.

When agents are busy, status callers can queue with hold music, go to voicemail or move to a backup number, and a missed call raises an SMS or email alert to the support lead, who can ring the customer back. Calls can be recorded to settle a remittance or delivery dispute; recordings are encrypted, and access control lists and data retention policies apply. Courier, freight and transport businesses can choose a 10-digit mobile number or a toll-free 1800 number. The menu behind it stays the same either way.
