What a missed call costs a small plumbing company in Hartford

When a Hartford customer calls about a leak or no hot water and nobody answers, they don't leave a message. They call the next number in their search. In a city where 44.5% of residents are Hispanic and 35.3% speak Spanish at home, many of those calls come in Spanish, and a voicemail only in English loses the job. For a small company, every missed call is work that goes to a competitor.

A normal day with Clara

It is 6 am on a Monday. A customer in the Asylum Hill area calls: the water heater is leaking in the garage and there is no hot water. Clara answers, asks what is happening and where the heater is, and helps the caller close the cold water valve on that heater. She then checks your calendar, finds the first open slot, reads back the date and the Hartford address, and asks for confirmation. Meanwhile you are in the van near West Hartford, without missing the call or answering your phone in the shower.

What you get after every call

• A call summary, translated into your language
• The caller's name and address, verified
• The visit already booked in your calendar
• An immediate phone alert, or the call transferred to you if it is urgent
