Evidence & Impact
How Payments By Phone Helped Three Customers

Healthcare Facility

A large healthcare network used IVR payments by phone to improve internal efficiencies and gained the unexpected benefit of reduced AR.

Hospital CFO, “Our IVR helps our patients make a payment when they want to pay, in a secure, self-service way, that is on 24/7/365, giving them another contactless way to pay. We believe that because of that ease, our accounting team reports a significant reduction in overdue accounts.”

Q1 Evidence: 68,601 minutes with 8,113 payments

Q1 Impact: $4,440,000 revenue collected, $547 average bill

Large Utility

A regional utility originally adopted IVR payments for PCI compliance but found vast improvements in staff efficiencies.

Utility Comptroller, “The IVR application has completely transformed the way we take payments.  In the past we had live agents handling payment calls all day long, this was both inefficient for our staff and out of PCI compliance.  Since we deployed our IVR, we have seen consistent adoption from our users and ALL phone payments are now made via the IVR, freeing up our agents to handle our customers’ needs.”

Q1 Evidence: 654,758 minutes with 76,214 payments

Q1 Impact: $13,947,162 revenue collected, $183 average bill

Waste Management

A residential and commercial waste management company originally adopted IVR payments as a competitive advantage and discovered significant cost savings.

CFO, “Thanks to being able to offer 24/7 IVR payments, we were able to win new contracts in municipalities that required it. What we didn’t anticipate was the huge reduction in calls to our service agents to make payments. We were able to reassign those people into other roles, and realize a significant reduction in customer service costs.“

Q1 Evidence: 114,234 minutes with 18,462 payments

Q1 Impact: $1,550,808 revenue collected, $84 average bill
