Analyze Call Tracking Data

If you want to view in real-time exactly how many calls that you receive from a direct mailing, radio ad or search engine marketing campaign, and customize how each incoming lead is greeted and routed, we do that.

Deliver Interactive Outbound Calls

If you want to automatically call customers to confirm a scheduled delivery time of a refrigerator, couch or television, with an option to reschedule by speaking with a virtual agent working from home, we do that.

In summary, DPS automates inbound, outbound and web initiated phone calls to any phone through a suite of pre-built phone applications that are instantly activated, configured easily without any programming and updated in real-time via an easy-to-use website.

Voice Broadcasting

Leverage Voice Broadcasting to generate leads, confirm appointments, promote events and relay vital information over the phone. You can also broadcast interactive order status updates, accounts receivable collection calls and phone surveys using outbound IVR functionality.

Key Features of Voice Broadcasting

Complete control to schedule and manage broadcasts

With our self-service voice broadcasting system, you get complete control over when to schedule calls, how quickly to send out messages and when to pause your phone broadcast campaigns.

Outbound IVR (Interactive Voice Response) functionality

  • Automated phone calls don’t need to just be prerecorded voice message. Use outbound IVR to add interactive functionality to your lead generation calls, appointment confirmations and political polls.

Instant access to real-time reports about each call

  • Why wait to receive reports from an account manager? Access real-time broadcast reports on the web whenever you want.

100% on-time delivery guarantee

  • When you have a scheduled broadcast, you should expect it to go out on-time. We stand behind our 100% on-time delivery guarantee–or your calls are free.

FTC Telemarketing Sales Rule compliance tools

  • Our tools provide you with an option to include an opt-out message in your broadcasts, helping you comply with the FTC’s Telemarketing Sales Rule.

Auto-detection to deliver an alternate voice mail message

  • Customize your phone broadcast with two messages: one for when a live person answers the phone, and an alternative message for when the call goes to voice mail.

API for integration with your application, software, or database

  • Integrate voice broadcasting with your company’s software to automate phone calls based on events in your database, or to collect information and pass it back to your database.

Dare to Compare

Our voice broadcasting features are unparalleled in the industry, as is our 100% on-time delivery guarantee. As you search for the best voice broadcasting company for your business needs, we recommend you pay attention to these billing factors:

Does the company charge for calls attempted?
We do not. We charge only for connected calls.

Does the company charge for transfers when a call is connected?
We do not. We only charge for one connection, not two “legs.”

Does the company charge extra for reporting?
We do not. Our voice broadcasting includes real-time reporting.

Does the company charge extra by rounding up minutes?
We can offer our high-volume customers 6 second rounding. With 6-second rounding, a 24-second call could cost you as little as 1.8 cents.
