The front desk for Handyman

Every call, message and form answered the second it lands — the job booked, the urgent one passed to you, nobody left waiting.

01 / Capture

Answered as it lands. Booked before they leave.

The ones you miss are not spread evenly. They arrive at 4am, on a Saturday, in the twenty minutes your hands were full. That is the window this closes.

It never has its hands full

4am, a public holiday, the twentieth message of your busiest hour — it answers. No queue, no 'we'll get back to you'. Anything urgent goes straight to a person; everything else is booked before they go looking elsewhere.

Handover, with the whole story

When one needs a person it does not simply hand over. It passes who is asking, what they want, what they already own and how they sound. You are ready before you say hello.

First back, every time

Web forms, ads, marketplaces, missed calls — each lead gets a real answer in seconds, while the customer is still deciding who to hire.

02 / Book

Fill the board with the work you actually want.

A quiet week is rarely a demand problem. It is the estimate nobody chased, the plan that lapsed, the customer who has not heard from you since March.

Follow-ups that go out on their own

Calls, texts and email in one sequence, re-engaging past customers and reviving leads that went cold — paced to your board, not to a blast schedule.

Nothing goes cold

Unsold estimates, missed appointments, lapsed maintenance plans. It follows up on all of them, keeps the thread, and stops the moment somebody books.

It knows who is asking

History, lifetime value and plan status are on screen before the first word. Regulars get treated like regulars without anyone having to remember them.

Every conversation, graded.

You cannot read a thousand conversations a month. It reads all of them and tells you which four are worth your afternoon.

Coach

Every conversation scored on objection handling, process, tone and outcome — surfacing the coaching moments a manager spot-checking ten of them would never reach.

Analytics

Booking rate, volume, revenue attribution and desk performance in one place, on the same numbers the campaigns are pacing against.

Capacity

Outbound scales up or down against your real board and the people you actually have, so you never book work you cannot cover.

Questions owners ask

How does it handle calls, texts and web chat for a Handyman business?

It answers every inbound call, text and chat message the moment it arrives. Routine work — scheduling a a punch-list visit, quoting a standard job, taking down details — it handles start to finish. Anything urgent or unusual is flagged and routed to the right person while they are still in the conversation. It runs alongside your team rather than replacing the desk, so nothing is missed and everyone reaches the right next step.

How does it help us coach the team?

Every conversation becomes coaching material. Recordings, transcripts and scored dashboards show how enquiries were handled, how pricing came up, and where one got away. For a Handyman team that means seeing exactly how a punch-list visit requests are quoted and where someone in a hurry lost patience — with a human still deciding what to do about it.

How does it capture and organise new leads?

Every new lead is captured the moment it arrives and organised on the spot. Conversations are summarised, tagged by what the customer actually wants — punch list, security repair, urgent, quarterly plan — and pushed to whoever owns the follow-up, with a real-time alert if it is time-sensitive. Nothing sits in an inbox going cold.

Can it run outbound and follow-up campaigns?

Yes. Seasonal reminders, unsold-estimate follow-ups and win-back sequences run automatically across call, SMS and email. Anything sensitive or complicated routes to a person; the routine reminders stay automated. Your pipeline stays warm without adding hours to anyone's week.

How does it fit our existing workflow?

It takes first contact — answering the routine questions, gathering job details, booking what can be booked — and writes the result into the system you already use. Your team stays on the work that needs hands and judgement, with a clean record of every conversation behind it.

Every moment, handled.
