Three steps, one week

Nothing changes on your phone. Everything changes after the fourth ring.

Your number stays your number. Your phone still rings. When nobody can get to it, we pick up, book it, and text you what happened. Voice is live in 48 hours.

The three steps

Nothing to install and nothing to learn. This is what happens the next time you can't get to the phone.

  • Your phone still rings first.

    Four rings, like always. Nobody picks up? The call rolls to us. One code on your phone, 30 seconds, and we set it up with you.

  • We pick up.

    Your assistant asks what's going on, where they are, and how urgent it is. It knows your services, hours, and area, and never quotes a price you didn't approve.

  • The appointment lands on your calendar.

    The caller gets a confirmation text. You get the name, the problem, the address, the time, and the recording. Emergencies reach you right away.

On the call

What it says, and what it never says

It answers as your assistant, in your business's name. It asks what a good dispatcher would ask, books what it can, and hands you everything else.

Speaks English, Spanish, and more. Every call is recorded and written down, so you can read what it said.

Want to hear it? Call the demo shop at Try the demo line (817) 663-7927. It's a plumbing shop called Ace, and calls are recorded.

  • What it does

    • Picks up on the fourth ring and says the call may be recorded.
    • Asks what's going on, where they are, and how soon they need it.
    • Answers from what you loaded: your services, your hours, your area, and any prices you approved.
    • Books the first opening that fits, straight into your calendar.
    • Texts the caller a confirmation and texts you the details and the recording.
    • Routes an emergency to your on-call number. You decide what counts as one.
  • What it never does

    • Quote a price you didn't approve. It gives your range or books a free look.
    • Promise a tech at a time. It books the opening your calendar shows.
    • Make something up. When it doesn't know, it takes a message and tells you.
    • Argue with someone who wants a person. They get a callback from you, fast.
What you get

Next Tuesday, 6:12 PM

You're still on the job. Your phone buzzes once.

Setup

What the first week looks like

  • Day 1

    The call.

    Fifteen minutes. You bring one number: how many calls you miss a week.

  • Days 1 to 2

    The build.

    We load your services, your hours, your area, and any prices you approve.

  • Day 2

    Voice is live.

    Unanswered calls roll to us on the fourth ring. One code on your phone turns it on.

  • Weeks 1 to 2

    Texting goes live.

    Once the carriers approve your number. We handle the paperwork.

  • Days 1 to 30

    Every call read.

    A person reads your first month of calls and tightens what needs tightening.

Your part

What you bring

  • Your number.

    It stays yours.

  • Your calendar, if you have one.

    Google, Outlook, iCloud, or the scheduling tool your shop already uses. No calendar? We give you one.

  • Your prices, if you want them quoted.

    It never quotes a price you didn't approve.

One price

One price. Same for everyone.

$2,500

Cancel any month.

If it doesn't book at least one appointment from a call you would have missed in your first 30 days, the $2,500 comes back.

Every piece of both numbers is on the pricing page.

Questions about how it works

No. Your number stays. One code on your phone sends unanswered calls to us after four rings. One code turns it off.

Still have a question? Call the demo shop at Try the demo line (817) 663-7927 and hear it answer. Bring the rest to the call. Every question is on one page.
