How much does Call Answering for Software Companies Cost?

The cost can depend on:
Number of calls handled each month
Average call duration
Hours of telephone cover
Message taking requirements
Call screening and transfers
Customer enquiry handling
Urgent call escalation
Out of hours or 24/7 support
Bespoke call handling instructions
We can tailor the service around your requirements, so you only pay for the level of telephone support your business needs.
How does Call Answering for Software Companies Work?
Our software call answering service works alongside your existing telephone setup. Calls can be diverted to our team when required or when your own staff are unable to answer.
When a call reaches us, we answer using your chosen company name and greeting. We then follow your instructions to establish why the person is calling and collect the information you require.
Depending on the enquiry, we can take a message, transfer the call or follow an agreed escalation process for urgent issues.
Caller information can then be passed to the appropriate member of your team, allowing your developers, support staff and other employees to concentrate on their work without missing important calls.
