Trusted by small teams who can't afford a missed call

We own the one vertical with the most painful missed-call math.
Plumbers, HVAC techs, electricians and home-service pros can't answer the phone with both hands on a job. One missed call is a lost job worth hundreds — sometimes thousands. Front Desk is tuned for exactly these conversations: emergencies, quotes, service areas, and scheduling.
- Understands emergency vs. routine call-outs and flags urgent leads
- Knows your trade lingo, service radius and standard call-out windows
- Captures the address, issue and best callback time — every time

Loved by the people who answer the phone
“I was losing two or three jobs a week to voicemail. Front Desk caught a $2,400 repipe on a Sunday I'd have never picked up. It paid for a year in one call.”
Dana R.
Owner, Ridgeline Plumbing
“It sounds like a real receptionist and it only says what I told it to. My customers can't tell, and I finally get to eat lunch without my phone buzzing.”
Marcus L.
HVAC contractor, solo operator
“Cheaper than the answering service we fired and ten times better. Every message shows up as a text with the number already saved. Setup took me one coffee.”
