What a missed call costs a small plumbing company in Garland

When a homeowner calls and nobody picks up, they usually don't leave a message. They call the next plumber on the list. In Garland, where many houses are older and emergencies come up without warning, the first company that answers often gets the job. For a small shop, one missed call can be the job that covers the week's fuel and parts.

A normal day with Clara

It is a Tuesday at 12:30, lunch time. A homeowner in Garland, near Rowlett, calls from work because the water bill doubled and she suspects a hidden leak. While you eat, Clara answers, asks where she sees water and whether it is still running. If the water is still flowing, Clara first helps her close the main shut-off valve. Then Clara checks your calendar, reads back the date and address, and books the visit. You get the summary on your phone and decide whether to go that afternoon or the next morning. You never had to stop eating to answer the call.

What you get after each call

• The caller's name, address and phone number, with the address verified
• A summary of what is happening at the house
• The visit booked in your calendar with the date and time confirmed
• An instant alert on your phone, or a transfer to you if it is urgent
