    The short answer

    What is a Digital IVR?

    A Digital IVR (Interactive Voice Response) is a cloud phone menu that answers every inbound call, asks the caller what they need, then sends the call to the right person, queue, mobile or voicemail automatically. MyRepublic Digital IVR runs on Australian cloud infrastructure with an Australian local number, multi-level menus, speech recognition tuned for Australian accents and after hours routing. It is ISO 27001 certified and starts at $245 AUD a month, month to month.

    Real local humans

    A named team on the line during setup and after go-live.

    The problem

    You didn't start a business to live on hold.

    Every owner we work with says the same thing. The phone never stops, the right person is never free, and the calls that go to voicemail never ring back.

    The phone rings out at 5.01pm

    Jake the sparky finishes the job, the customer rings at quitting time, the call drops to voicemail and the next number on Google gets the work.

    Mia is the receptionist between clients

    The beautician keeps walking out mid lash set to answer 'are you open Sundays?'. Half the time the call is gone before she gets to the phone.

    Sam's queue stacks up at noon

    Lunch rush hits, three callers on hold, the new staffer puts one on the wrong line and the regular hangs up before anyone picks back up.

    Priya's team has no idea who is on the phone

    Front desk juggling three handsets, the owner has no way to see who is on a call, who is free, or how long someone has been waiting.

    What it does

    One phone system. Five jobs done.

    Inbound, outbound, recording, live view and reporting, all on one plan.

    Inbound

    Every caller lands on the right phone, first time

    When Jake's customer rings, the menu greets them in his voice, asks one question, and rings the right phone. No 'press 9 to go back' loops. No callers stuck on hold while the wrong person works out who to pass them to.

    • Route calls by department, suburb, skill or time of day
    • Hold music, queue position and a callback option when it's busy
    • After hours flows so nothing rings out into silence
    • Real time queue view so the owner can see when it's stacking up
    Outbound

    Ring customers out without the team burning the day

    Need to chase quotes, confirm bookings, or follow up on a no-show? Upload the list, the platform queues the next number the second the agent hangs up, and shows the customer's history before the call connects.

    • Progressive dialling for high volume call-outs
    • Preview dialling when the agent needs context first
    • Upload contact lists from a spreadsheet in seconds
    • Track who answered, who didn't, and what was said
    Recording

    Every call recorded. Every 'he said, she said' settled.

    Calls are filed automatically, kept for as long as you say, and searchable by date, agent or number. Sort out a dispute in two clicks, use a great call to train the new starter, and tick the compliance box without thinking about it.

    • Automatic recording on every line, no extra clicks
    • Searchable library by date, agent, number or queue
    • Configurable retention to match your industry rules
    • One click to share a clip with the boss or the team
    Live view

    See the whole operation on one screen

    Who is on a call, who is free, how long the queue is and where it's climbing. Whisper to an agent during a tough call without the customer hearing a thing, or jump on the line yourself.

    • Live agent status, call timers and queue depth
    • Whisper to coach an agent mid call, privately
    • Barge in when a call really needs the supervisor
    • Filter the view by team, queue or campaign
    Reporting

    The numbers the owner actually wants

    How many calls came in, how many got answered, how long people waited and which day was busiest. Reports show the things you decide on, not 200 pages of metrics nobody reads.

    • Daily, weekly and monthly summaries straight to email
    • Agent activity, session and pause reporting
    • Call distribution by queue, time and outcome
    • Export to spreadsheet for the bookkeeper or board
    How it works

    From phone chaos to calls under control.

    Four steps, done with you, usually inside a week.

    1. 01

      Map the calls

      We sit with you and map who calls, what they ask for and where each call should land. Bookings, quotes, after hours emergencies, the lot.

    2. 02

      Build the menu

      We build a clean menu customers actually follow, with queues, after hours flows and greetings recorded in a voice that sounds like you.

    3. 03

      Test and port

      We test every option on a real phone, then port your existing Australian numbers across with no gap in service.

    4. 04

      Go live, then tweak

      We stay on the line while you switch on. After that you change hours, options and who the phone rings yourself, in a few clicks.

    Save the cost of a receptionist

    Give the team their day back

    No more dropping the tools to chase a missed call. The menu sorts the easy ones before anyone picks up.

    Stop losing jobs to voicemail

    First call answered, the right phone, every time. The customer doesn't ring the next name on the list.

    Grow without rebuilding the phones

    Add a new line, a new team or a new location. The menu grows with you. No vendor ticket, no rewiring.

    One missed call costs more than the whole month.

    A quote, a booking, an emergency callout. Whatever an average job is worth to you, that's the number sitting in the voicemail nobody left. The plan costs less than a shift of reception cover.

    FAQ

    The questions every owner asks.

    Plain answers to what teams ask before rolling out a new IVR.

    What is a Digital IVR and how does it work?

    A Digital IVR is a cloud based phone menu. It answers every inbound call on your Australian local number, plays a greeting, asks the caller what they need by keypress or voice, then routes the call to the right person, queue, mobile or voicemail. Everything runs in the Australian cloud, so there is no on-site phone hardware to maintain.

    What is the difference between an IVR and an auto attendant?

    An auto attendant simply plays a greeting and transfers to an extension. A Digital IVR goes further: multi-level menus, speech recognition, queueing with callback, skills and time based routing, after hours flows, call recording and live reporting. If you need more than 'press 1 for reception', you need an IVR.

    Digital IVR or AI Receptionist, which one do I need?

    Choose Digital IVR when callers know what they want and you need them routed fast and reliably, with queues, recording and reporting. Choose the AI Receptionist when you want the call actually answered and handled in conversation, including bookings and questions. Many businesses run both, with the IVR routing and the AI answering the overflow.

    Can I keep my existing phone number?

    Yes. Existing Australian numbers are ported across as part of setup, and the team tests the full flow with you before anything is switched over, so there is no gap in service.

    Can calls ring my mobile?

    Yes. Any menu option, overflow rule or after hours flow can ring a mobile, a group of mobiles in sequence, or all at once. On-call staff are reachable without giving out their personal number.

    Is Digital IVR available in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth?

    Yes. The service is delivered nationally across Australia with local numbers available in every major city and region, plus support for New Zealand and Singapore based teams.

    How much does Digital IVR cost?

    The Starter plan is $245 AUD per month for Australian businesses, or $171 USD per month internationally, with a one-time setup fee of $299 AUD or $209 USD. That includes 1 Australian local number, up to 2 custom IVR call flows, 4,000 inbound minutes and 2,000 outbound minutes per month.

    What is included in the monthly price?

    One Australian local number, up to two custom IVR call flows, 4,000 inbound call minutes and 2,000 outbound call minutes per month, multi-level menus, speech recognition with Australian accent support, custom voice prompts, queue integration and out-of-hours routing.

    Where is my data stored?

    All AI software and call data remain within the Australian cloud. The platform has been ISO 27001 certified since 2012, so recordings, transcripts and customer details stay inside controlled Australian infrastructure.

    Is this only for big call centres, or can a small team use it?

    A one person reception desk runs on it. So do teams of 500. Start with one number, one menu and one phone. Add queues, agents and recording when you actually need them.

    How fast can the phones actually be answering?

    Days, not months. The team sits with you, maps out how you want calls handled, sets up the menu and the queues, tests it with a real phone, then flips the switch. Smaller setups are live the same week.

    Do I need an IT person to run this?

    No. The team handles the setup. After that, whoever runs the front desk or the office can change the menu, the opening hours, or who the phone rings, from a normal screen with normal buttons. No tickets, no waiting.

    Can we ring customers out as well as take calls in?

    Yes. The plan includes 2,000 outbound minutes a month. For high volume work the platform queues the next number for the agent as soon as they hang up. For sensitive calls it shows the customer's history first.

    Does the speech recognition handle Australian accents?

    Yes. Speech recognition is tuned for Australian accents, so callers can say what they want instead of pressing through a menu, and the system still gets it right.

    Are calls recorded?

    Yes, if you want them to be. Every call is filed, searchable, and kept for as long as you say. Great for sorting out 'he said, she said', training new staff, or proving what was agreed.

    Will it work with the phones and numbers we already have?

    In most cases, yes. Existing numbers come across, existing handsets keep working, and the team checks the full setup with you before anything goes live.

    Can I change the menu without calling a developer?

    Yes. Drag the boxes around, type the new message, hit save. Public holidays, after hours, a new option for 'press 4 for the workshop', all done in a few minutes.
