What is Containment rate?
Containment rate is the share of calls a voice agent resolves on its own, without passing the caller to a person. A high rate means the agent is handling the repeated questions well. A rate that is too high can also mean callers are being kept from a person they needed, so read it with satisfaction.
Why Containment rate matters for Telugu calling
It is the clearest measure of how much work the agent removes from your team. If half of support calls are contained, half never reach a person.
It must be read carefully. A caller who hangs up in frustration was not helped, even though no person was involved. Containment counts resolved calls, not merely unescalated ones.
How to measure or improve it
Count calls that ended with the caller's need met and no handover, divided by all calls of that type.
- Define resolved for each call type before you measure.
- Check hang-ups in the first half minute separately.
- Read a sample of contained calls to confirm they were really solved.
Pay for connected call time only.
EnableCalls runs on a prepaid credit wallet. One credit is one rupee, credits are used only while a call is connected and answered, and unanswered, busy or failed attempts cost nothing. Rates are set per account, so we do not print a fixed figure here.
Questions people ask.
01Is higher containment always better?
No. Pushing it up by making it hard to reach a person harms customers.
02How is it different from first call resolution?
Containment is about avoiding a person. First call resolution is about solving the issue in one call, with or without one.
03What is a good rate?
It depends on your calls. Compare against your own baseline.
