AI Receptionist for Plumbers in Athens, Georgia

What a missed call costs a small plumbing company in Athens

A small plumber in Athens lives on calls that come at the wrong moment. If the phone rings while you are under a house with a shut-off valve in your hand, that call goes to voicemail. Most callers do not leave a message; they call the next company on the list. With a leak or a clogged drain, the customer wants someone today, not next Tuesday. Every unanswered call is a job that goes to another plumber, and often it is the most urgent job of the week.

A normal day with Clara

It is a rainy fall afternoon in Athens. A homeowner near Normaltown calls because dirty water keeps backing up into her shower whenever someone flushes the toilet. Your crew is on a job near Five Points and cannot answer. Clara picks up, asks what is happening, where the problem is and whether water is still running. Because sewage is involved, she helps the caller close the main shut-off valve and stay away from water near outlets. Then she checks your calendar for the first free slot, confirms the address and reads the date back so the customer can accept it. When your crew finishes the job, the case is already in your built-in CRM with a summary in your language, and you have a phone notification.

What you get after every call

• A booking in your calendar with the date, time and verified address.
• A customer record in the built-in CRM, with the call summary translated into your language.
• An immediate phone notification, and the option to transfer an emergency straight to you.
• A one-tap SMS confirmation sent from your own phone, only if the customer agrees.
