Optimizing IVR performance is crucial for businesses relying on call centers or customer calls.
It serves as a potential bottleneck, particularly during surges in call volumes triggered by promotions or weather changes.
Given the prevalence of automated operations, we specialize in assessing how adeptly your IVR systems manage diverse loads during peak times.

Stats don’t lie
Leveraging advanced technologies like NLP and AI, IVRs globally contribute to lowering organizational costs, with each IVR call equating to the cost of six or seven person-to-person calls.
In 2020, the global IVR market reached $4.2 billion, with a projected CAGR of 7.9%, expected to hit $6.7 billion by 2026.
The U.S. IVR market, valued at $1.4 billion in 2021, represents 31.4% of the global market share.
The U.S. IVR market, valued at $1.4 billion in 2021, represents 31.4% of the global market share.
Increasing IVR containment rates by 5% to 20% can result in a substantial 10% to 30% reduction in call center costs, providing a robust return on investment.

Contact Сenter and IVR Performance Testing
May 28, 2021
Modern contact centers are often complex systems that involve close interaction between IVR, customer relation management (CRM), and many other services. Therefore, besides testing the performance of IVR itself and telephone communication channels, PFLB offers comprehensive testing services that allow you to evaluate the performance of both overall and individual services and to identify the influence of system components on each other.
Load Testing Tools for IVR Systems
Mar 20, 2019
Around the world, JMeter and LoadRunner remain some of the most popular tools for load testing. These are truly excellent tools and most performance engineers use them.
When choosing load testing tools the main question is whether the tool supports all the required protocols? When it comes to HTTP, the selection of tools is enormous, including excellent cloud solutions that make it possible to create a load simultaneously from different points on the planet. For less common protocols the number of suitable tools shrinks considerably. In these cases, the indisputable leader is LoadRunner, an HP product and the de facto standard in the enterprise segment.
