Call center software for Italy.

Cloud call-center and outbound dialer software for Italian teams. RPO opt-out scrubbing, consent and calling-hour controls, GDPR/Garante support, and Italian-language AI AMD.

Quick answer

DialerBee is cloud call-center and outbound dialer software for Italian teams, with compliance-supporting controls for the RPO opt-out register (Registro Pubblico delle Opposizioni), consent tracking aligned to GDPR and the Italian Privacy Code, CET/CEST-aware calling-hour windows, and CLI caller-ID display. DialerBee supports Italian-language AI AMD, BYOC SIP routing through local Italian carriers, and 9 languages for multilingual teams operating in the Italian market.

Key Considerations

What to know about Italian outbound calling

RPO Opt-Out Scrubbing

Companies must scrub numbers against the Registro Pubblico delle Opposizioni (RPO) before telemarketing. DialerBee checks internal and RPO-derived opt-out lists before every dial attempt.

Consent (GDPR/Garante)

Prior consent is generally required for marketing calls under GDPR and the Italian Privacy Code, overseen by the Garante. DialerBee tracks consent records with full provenance.

Calling-Hour Norms

Industry norms restrict commercial calling to appropriate hours. DialerBee enforces CET/CEST-aware calling windows automatically per campaign.

CLI / Caller-ID Display

A valid CLI must be presented and displayed on outbound marketing calls. DialerBee manages CLI verification and per-campaign caller-ID assignment.

Additional Considerations

Caller ID, retries, and WhatsApp

Caller ID / CLI

Valid, registered caller IDs are essential for Italian operations. DialerBee manages CLI verification and assignment per campaign.

Retry Caps

Excessive redialing risks complaints and Garante scrutiny. DialerBee enforces configurable retry caps and cooling periods per contact.

WhatsApp / SMS

WhatsApp and SMS are widely used follow-up channels in Italy. DialerBee supports WhatsApp Business and SMS messaging alongside voice.

Italy in focus

Outbound calling in Italy, in practice

Italy runs a national opt-out register, the Registro Pubblico delle Opposizioni (RPO). Consumers can register both landline and mobile numbers, and companies are generally expected to scrub their calling lists against the RPO before each telemarketing campaign. An important nuance often missed by teams new to the market: registering a number on the RPO also cancels consents previously given to that number, so an old consent record is not enough on its own. Treat the RPO as a live gate, not a one-time import.

Marketing calls generally require prior consent, and the Garante — Italy's data protection authority — has issued significant fines for unlawful telemarketing and for unclear or undocumented consent chains. Responsibility can extend along the call-center supply chain, so a caller relying on a partner's list should still be able to show where each consent came from. Data handling sits under the GDPR and the Italian Privacy Code, while AGCOM oversees communications and numbering, including the requirement to present a valid, displayed CLI on outbound calls.

In day-to-day operations that means Italian-language agents and scripts, scheduling within the CET/CEST timezone and locally accepted calling hours, and re-scrubbing against the RPO before every campaign rather than trusting a stale list. DialerBee is built to support that workflow, not replace your legal judgement: RPO and DNC list management with checks before each dial, consent tracking with provenance, CET-aware scheduling, configurable retry caps, immutable audit logs, and Italian-language AI AMD. These are compliance-supporting controls, not a guarantee of compliance — confirm current rules with the Garante and AGCOM and qualified counsel before you launch.
