A normal day with Clara

It is Saturday morning in North Charleston. Your crew is in Ladson finishing a tear-off, and you are in the truck with your phone on silent. A homeowner calls about a stain spreading over the kitchen ceiling after last night's storm.

Before confirming, she reads back the date and the address so the caller can check them. When the call ends, you get an alert on your phone with the summary.

• A customer summary in the simple built-in CRM, translated into your language.
