What is State-Based Routing?
Send your callers
to their closest state branch or office.
State-Based Routing is a type of Geographic Routing that automatically directs your callers to the most appropriate store or office in their state or territory when they call your 1300/1800/13 or Local Virtual number.
Zintel’s State-Based Routing system enables you to nominate a location to which all calls, including landline and mobile, within a particular state are routed. State-Based Routing has a lot in common with Postcode Prompting, but covers a broader region. Zintel clients love State-Based Routing because it helps them get their customers to the right local office quickly and cuts out unnecessary transfers.
Why use State-Based Routing?

Who uses State-Based Routing?
Organisations with a local presence in various states or territories.
I was tired of running nationwide campaigns which failed to show clearly where calls originated or would send the customers to the wrong places.Using Zintel’s state routing, it was far easier to divert calls to the correct restaurants and easily analyse call traffic for effective management of our marketing budget. It’s not massive, so we need to be smart.

Zintel Customer Case Study
Melissa runs a small chain of 10 fast food outlets spread around the country. With Zintel, she now has a single business number she can advertise nationally but still have all calls delivered to the local branch based upon the callers geographical location.
Zintel provided her with a toll-free number, geographic routing plan and complex IVR solution to route both landline and mobile callers to their local restaurants.
This enables Mellisa to tap into a nationwide market for the business, while providing a localised presence for customers.
