Missed-call recovery

A missed call sends a text back within seconds, so the caller reaches you instead of your competitor.

The problem
The problem, in plain English

Technicians are on job sites, drivers are in traffic, and the office is on another call. Calls get missed, and a caller who reaches voicemail can just as easily call the next business in the search results.

What the system does
Missed-Call Recovery

A text goes out from your number within about five seconds of any unanswered call.

What it does
Why it matters
Why it matters

Missed-Call Recovery: It reaches the caller while the phone is still in their hand, instead of a voicemail box almost nobody uses. If nobody on your team picks up the thread within fifteen minutes, you get pinged.

The call you missed becomes a text conversation instead of a call to your competitor. You don't have to answer the phone to keep the customer; you have to answer sometime today.

A missed call becomes a conversation

The text goes out automatically within seconds. Your team replies from one shared inbox, and if nobody picks it up within 15 minutes, you get pinged.
