📈 Stay in control

Peak traffic management

A television appearance, a viral social media post, a national advertising campaign, a seasonal rush — any of these can multiply your call volume in minutes. If your telephony platform cannot absorb the spike, callers hear a busy tone and go elsewhere. You spend money driving traffic to your number, then lose the callers at the door.

CallFactory’s platform is built for peaks. Our cloud-based infrastructure scales automatically to handle sudden surges in call volume. Calls are queued, routed, and managed so your team can work through the volume at their own pace — and no caller is turned away.

Benefits of peak traffic management

See how our smart tools help your team work more efficiently, save valuable time, and elevate the way your business communicates.

📞

Always enough capacity

Our cloud infrastructure handles thousands of concurrent calls. National campaigns, media appearances, product launches — the platform absorbs the volume without breaking a sweat.

🔄

Flexible routing during peaks

Activate queues, add overflow destinations, or redirect calls to additional team members on the fly. Stay in control without changing your permanent setup.

💡

No callers lost

Instead of a busy tone, callers hear hold music or a message. They wait in line and get through when a team member becomes available. No lost leads, no wasted advertising spend.

How peak traffic management works

CallFactory runs on cloud infrastructure that scales with demand. When call volume spikes, additional capacity is activated automatically. There is no hard limit on the number of simultaneous calls your number can receive — the platform grows with the traffic.

During a peak, incoming calls that cannot be answered immediately are placed in a call queue. Callers hear your hold music or a message and wait in line. As soon as a team member finishes a call, the next caller in the queue is connected. If the queue reaches its maximum wait time, callers can be forwarded to voicemail or an overflow number.

Prepare for planned peaks

If you know a peak is coming — a scheduled TV appearance, a product launch, a seasonal promotion — let us know in advance. We can pre-scale your capacity, adjust your queue settings, and set up temporary overflow routing so you are fully prepared before the first call arrives.

Some customers set up a dedicated welcome message for peak events: “Thank you for calling. Due to high demand, wait times may be longer than usual. Please stay on the line and we will be with you shortly.” This sets expectations and reduces hang-ups.

Real-time visibility during peaks

During a peak event you need to know what is happening in real time. How many calls are coming in? How many are in the queue? How many have been answered? How many went to voicemail? CallFactory’s statistics give you this visibility.

No infrastructure changes needed

Peak traffic management does not require any changes to your existing setup. Your phone numbers, routing rules, extensions, and features all stay the same. The platform handles the scaling transparently — your team answers calls the same way they always do, just more of them.

This is one of the advantages of virtual phone numbers on a cloud platform. There is no physical line that gets full, no hardware that runs out of ports, no exchange that drops calls. The capacity is there when you need it.

Included free with every number

Peak traffic management is included with every CallFactory number. Depending on the volume of callers and the number of dedicated lines needed, surcharges may apply.
