Still drowning in tickets? You don't need more agents, you need better structure

Whether your system is slowing you down or no longer scales, clear intake, smart self-service, and simple automation remove unnecessary volume so your team can focus on what truly matters.

Phone support feels outdated, expensive, and hard to measure. But your customers still call when things matter.

Whether you're adding voice to Zendesk or trying to modernise existing phone systems, the right voice solution balances quality, cost, and visibility.

 

Voice support is still essential for complex issues, frustrated customers, and high-value accounts. But traditional phone systems are rigid and disconnected from digital channels. Modern voice solutions integrate with Zendesk, provide real-time data, and support flexible routing—without legacy telecom complexity.

Why voice support creates operational challenges

Phone and ticketing systems don't connect

Calls happen in one system. Tickets live in another. Agents manually log everything. Customer context gets lost between channels.

No visibility into call quality or performance

You know how many calls came in, but not why customers called, how long issues took to resolve, or which agents need coaching.

High costs with unclear ROI

Phone support is expensive. Legacy systems charge per user, per minute, per feature. And you can't easily measure what you're getting for it.

Rigid routing and limited flexibility

IVR trees are hard to change. Skills-based routing requires vendor support. Adding remote agents means buying more hardware and licences.

1. Zendesk Talk implementation

Native Zendesk voice solution. Calls become tickets automatically. Full customer history visible during calls. Simple setup for teams already on Zendesk.

2. Third-party voice integrations

Connect existing phone systems to Zendesk. Keep your preferred voice provider while gaining ticket integration.

3. IVR design & optimisation

Build call routing that actually helps customers. Clear menu options. Smart skills-based routing. Callback options when wait times are high.

4. Call analytics & reporting

Track call volume, wait times, handle time, resolution rates, and customer satisfaction. Combine voice metrics with digital channel data for unified reporting.

5. Voicemail & callback workflows

Let customers leave messages or request callbacks instead of waiting on hold. Convert voicemails into tickets with automated routing and follow-up.

6. Quality monitoring & coaching

Record calls for quality reviews. Build scoring frameworks. Use insights to coach agents on tone, efficiency, and problem-solving.

7. Omnichannel voice strategy

Design service operations where voice fits alongside chat, email, and self-service. Route customers to the right channel based on issue complexity and urgency.

 


 

The result is not just phone support. It's integrated voice service.

What you gain from integrated voice support

When voice is properly integrated, agents spend less time logging calls and more time solving problems. Managers gain visibility into performance. Customers get consistent service regardless of channel.

The biggest gain is not call volume. It's call quality.

 

Common questions about voice solutions

Should we use Zendesk Talk or integrate a separate phone system? Zendesk Talk is simpler and fully integrated, great for small to mid-sized teams. Separate systems like Aircall or Talkdesk offer advanced features (call recording, advanced IVR, quality monitoring) but require integration work. We help you evaluate based on team size, budget, and feature needs.
Can we keep our existing phone numbers? In most cases, it is possible to keep existing numbers, but depends on local regulations in your country. The process takes 2-4 weeks depending on your carrier and location. We coordinate the porting process to minimise disruption.
How long does voice implementation take? Basic Zendesk Talk setup takes 1-2 weeks. Integrating third-party voice systems takes 3-4 weeks. Full migrations from legacy systems take 6-8 weeks including testing, training, and cutover planning.
Can remote agents take calls? Yes. Cloud-based voice solutions work from anywhere with internet. Agents use softphones (apps on their computer) or forward calls to their mobile devices. No physical phone hardware needed.
