How It Works

No Phone Trees. No Hold Music.
Just the Right Person, First Time.

1. Caller Describes What They Need

Intavia answers and has a natural conversation. No menus, no 'press 1 for...' The caller just says what they're calling about. Like talking to a real receptionist.

2. AI Understands Intent and Routes Instantly

Based on what the caller says, the AI determines the right destination: a team member, a direct booking, an FAQ answer, or a message. The decision happens in seconds.

3. Seamless Handoff with Context

The receiving person sees who's calling and why before they pick up. No asking the caller to repeat themselves. No cold transfers.

Intelligent Routing

Understands what callers need. Routes them there.

No menus to navigate. No buttons to press. Intavia listens to what the caller says and routes them to the right person or department. Fewer transferred calls, fewer frustrated callers, fewer people who hang up and don't call back.

Understanding call routing

What is call routing?

Call routing is the process of directing an incoming phone call to the right person, department, or system without the caller having to navigate there themselves. Every business that receives phone calls uses some form of call routing, whether they realise it or not. The question is how well it works.

Traditional approaches

For decades, the standard approach has been IVR (interactive voice response), the familiar "press 1 for appointments, press 2 for billing" phone tree. These systems were designed for large call centres. The average IVR misroute rate sits at around 15%, and in healthcare settings up to 30% of calls end up in the wrong place. Research shows that every time a call is transferred, customer satisfaction drops 12% and first-call resolution drops 14%.

The frustration is well documented: 75% of customers try to bypass IVR menus entirely, and 51% have abandoned a business altogether because of automated phone menus. For small businesses, where every caller is a potential customer or booking, that's revenue walking out the door.

How AI call routing changes the equation

AI-powered call routing replaces menus with natural language understanding. Instead of pressing buttons, the caller simply says what they need. The AI interprets the intent (is this a booking, a clinical question, an emergency, a billing query?) and routes accordingly. AI routing systems achieve approximately 95% correct routing compared to around 85% for traditional IVR, with a 60% reduction in wait times compared to manual transfer workflows.
