A quote, please. We want two radiators replaced.
Of course. What is the postcode, and when would you like the work done?

The moments every trade knows

Two missed moments.
One familiar problem.

Monday · 09:30
The phone rings.
Your hands are already full.

You are halfway through a job. A customer is waiting, the van needs loading, and the phone rings again. Taking the call means stopping the work. Leaving it means another voicemail.

Sunday · 22:47
A new job enquiry.
After you have clocked off.

A homeowner is planning a repair on Sunday evening. A helpful first response captures the job, service area and callback preference while the enquiry is fresh.

That's the front desk this is built for
Calls picked up. Job brief handed over.

A calm first response, with new jobs, quote requests and existing customers routed to the right person. Your team handles the technical work, pricing and final booking.

01

Customers message any time

A quote request on a Sunday evening. A customer asking about their job after work. One familiar place to start the conversation.

02

Replied in seconds

It acknowledges, asks the one question that matters, and sets an honest expectation.

03

Your team takes over

A written brief lands in the shared inbox: who, what, how urgent, which team. Nothing lost in someone's personal phone.

04

Opted-in customers get reminders

Job reminders, quote callbacks and agreed service follow-ups. Messages use the permissions, templates and opt-out handling you approve.

Collect the job details your team needs: postcode, a short description, urgency and callback preference. Payment details and private documents use your approved secure systems.
Your systems, connected

Fits around how your business works.
Nothing to rip out.

Keep your existing number, job software and diary. We map enquiry intake, quote visits, dispatch and customer follow-up before agreeing the connections and handover rules.

What doesn't change
  • Your phone number. Callers dial what they've always dialled.
  • Your job software. We hand into it; we don't replace it.
  • Who handles the job. Your qualified team — always.
  • Where customer data lives. Your job system and approved tools, with agreed access and data handling.
What does
  • A first response — while you are on site, in the van or off the clock.
  • Enquiries arrive as briefs, not voicemails to decode.
  • Appointment requests reach the diary through the workflow you approve.
  • You see everything that happened, at 8am, in one email.

Listen

We map your phone setup, software, teams and handover rules. We agree what the receptionists may say — and what they never say.

Days 3–5

Shadow

The receptionists run alongside your team on real scenarios. Every brief is reviewed. Scripts are tuned to how your business actually speaks.

Live

Once your team approves the pilot, overflow and out-of-hours can go live on your number. You keep the off-switch and review every handover.

7 days
free

Try the agreed workflow before expanding it. We confirm scope, access and trial terms first. Start with overflow or out-of-hours under agreed data processing terms, once your team signs off.

Your standards, always

Your team. Your rules.
Always in control.

Honest about being AI

Ask and it will always tell you it is AI, with a clear recording notice where recording is used. Your business agrees the greeting and handover rules.

Illustration: a folder being handed from one person to another, a shield beside it

Never gives advice

Fault diagnosis, technical advice, prices and engineer attendance stay with your qualified team. The receptionist captures the enquiry and arranges the handover.

Illustration: a small vault with document folders inside and a padlock

Customer data stays in your systems

Customer records and job history use your approved systems. We agree the minimum enquiry fields, software access, retention and processor terms before the pilot.

Illustration: a large orange toggle switch with a hand resting beside it

You hold the off-switch

Pause a line, change a script, pull a receptionist — your call, same day. A safety net for your front desk, not a compliance guarantee.

Before you start

A few sensible questions.
