Streamline Call Data and Recordings Directly to the Cloud!

Vodia offers advanced solutions for managing Call Data Records (CDRs) and call recordings, allowing businesses to handle data efficiently. Traditionally, CDRs were stored locally in CSV files, requiring manual transfer to remote locations, which can be time-consuming for organizations handling large volumes. Vodia simplifies this process by providing real-time streaming of CDRs using protocols like WebCDR, JSONS, TCP, and MongoDB, allowing for immediate analysis and custom report generation. Additionally, Vodia integrates with cloud storage services like AWS, DigitalOcean, Linode, and Wasabi, eliminating the need for manual synchronization and local storage. This integration enhances data security, scalability and ease of management.
