Interactive Voice Response
Interactive Voice Response (IVR) software for school transportation provides real-time information and integrates vehicle location technology for updates on locations and arrival times.
Responding to routine calls about eligibility, bus stop locations and pick-up times can put a strain on resources, especially during the back-to-school period. Calling to notify parents that their child’s bus is late requires additional time.
School districts also need to respond to questions about weather-related delays, route changes and more. Call center staff overwhelmed by high call volumes often don’t have time to spend with the callers who need their help most.
