Call recording
What was agreed on that call last Tuesday? How did the new hire handle that complaint? Did the customer confirm the order or not? Without a recording, you are left guessing. With one, you have the answer in seconds.
CallFactory records your incoming business calls automatically. Every recording is stored securely and accessible through the dashboard — search by number, date, or time, and play it back instantly. Use recordings for team training, quality monitoring, dispute resolution, or simply as a reliable record of what was said.

Benefits of call recording
See how our smart tools help your team work more efficiently, save valuable time, and elevate the way your business communicates.
Train and improve
Use real recordings in team meetings to identify what went well and what can improve. Nothing teaches better than hearing an actual call.
Resolve disputes
When a customer claims something different was agreed, the recording settles it. No more he-said-she-said — just play back the call.
Monitor quality
Are your team members following the script? Is the tone professional? Are they giving the right information? The recording tells you.
How call recording works
Once activated, every incoming call to your CallFactory number is recorded automatically. Both sides of the conversation are captured in a single audio file — you hear the caller and your team member. No app, no microphone, no extra hardware. The recording happens on CallFactory’s side, completely transparent to both parties.
Recordings are stored securely and accessible through the dashboard. Search by phone number, date, or time to find the call you need. Play it directly in the browser, or download the audio file to your computer. If you need to retrieve recordings programmatically, the API lets you download them automatically into your own systems.
Training and quality monitoring
Call recordings are one of the most effective training tools available. Instead of role-playing hypothetical scenarios, your team listens to real conversations — real objections, real complaints, real success stories. A team leader can pick three recordings from the past week and discuss them in a meeting: what went well, what could improve, and how to handle similar situations next time.
Quality monitoring works the same way. If you outsource calls to an external call centre or have a large team, recordings let you verify that calls are handled according to your standards. Are callers greeted correctly? Is the right information being given? Are compliance procedures followed? You do not need to sit next to every agent — the recordings give you the full picture.
Dispute resolution and compliance
Business calls often involve commitments — prices quoted, delivery dates confirmed, terms agreed. When a dispute arises weeks later, memories differ. A call recording provides an objective record of what was actually said, settling disagreements quickly and professionally.
For businesses in regulated industries, call recording can be a compliance requirement. Financial services, insurance, healthcare, and legal firms often need to retain records of phone conversations. CallFactory stores your recordings securely and lets you set retention periods that match your regulatory obligations.
Retention periods and storage
You control how long recordings are kept. Set a retention period that suits your business — from a few days to several months. When the retention period expires, recordings are automatically deleted. This keeps your storage clean and helps you comply with data protection regulations like GDPR.
If you need to keep a specific recording beyond the retention period — for example, as evidence in an ongoing dispute — you can download it before it expires. The API also lets you archive recordings automatically to your own storage, so you have a permanent copy on your terms.
Included free with every number
Call recording is included with every CallFactory number. Depending on the retention period and storage volume, a small additional fee may apply for extended storage.
