How the front desk works

We run the front desk for

  • Frozen In Time Parlour
  • Elite Alliance Physical Therapy

Four ways to handle the call.

Each one answers the phone. Only one of them books the job and chases the estimate for you.

Voicemail

A homeowner with a problem today does not leave a message. They call the next shop.

Answering service

A person takes a message and sends it to you. You still make the call back, book the job, and chase the estimate.

Self-serve AI tool

You write the script, hook it to your calendar, and fix it when it says the wrong thing. It works on the days you have time to run it.

FlowChainLabs AI Front Desk

Set up for you and run for you. It answers in your name, books into your calendar, texts back the calls you missed, and sends you one page a month. You hear it take your calls before it goes live.

After you sign

What you get after you sign.

Owners who buy phone tools say the help stops once they pay. Here is what you get from us instead.

We do not go quiet.

Once you are live, you get a report every month: calls answered, appointments booked, missed callers texted back and what we changed.

What we sell is what you get.

Before you sign, you see what it answers, what it books and which calls come to you. That is what goes live.

Tested on your calls first.

We run your common calls through it: the after-hours call, the price question, the caller outside your area, the caller who wants a person. You hear it handle your calls before it goes live.

Every call and text on record.

Every call it takes is logged, booked or not, and every text it sends is saved. You can see what happened to each one.

What a appliance repair front desk has to know that a generic script does not.

The call that costs the most

The fridge dies on a Saturday with a week of groceries inside. The homeowner calls three shops in a row. The one that picks up gets the job.

Warranty calls with a claim number and a manufacturer window that has to be captured right

Why Am I Missing So Many Calls at My Appliance Repair Business?

A fridge dies, a customer calls, and you are under a dishwasher. Here is why appliance repair shops miss calls and what a fix has to do.

Frequently asked questions

Before you switch off voicemail

Does it work with Housecall Pro, ServiceTitan, RepairShopr or Workiz?

Pro includes a connection to your existing software. We confirm which booking and customer-record actions your system supports. Core books on your calendar; a direct connection to other software depends on Pro and the access available.

Can it handle warranty calls?

It captures what you tell it to: claim number, brand, model, purchase date, and the manufacturer window. It books by the rules you approve. Anything that needs a decision goes to your team with the details.

What about customers calling about a part on backorder?

It answers with the status you give it, so those calls stop pulling you off a job. It does not guess a delivery date. If the status is unknown, the call goes to your team.

How does it know which calls are same-day?

You set which appliances, which symptoms, and which time windows count as same-day. Then you listen while it handles a dead freezer at 4 PM. It does not go live until you have heard it.

What does the front desk cost?

FlowChainLabs Front Desk has three plans: Core $697, Plus $997 and Pro $1,497 a month. Each added location is $397 a month. No contract, no per-minute bills, unlimited changes. See every plan at https://flowchainlabs.com/front-desk.

Can I keep my current phone number?

Yes. Keep your number and forward the calls you want Front Desk to answer. Your team can keep answering during office hours.

What happens if no appointment is available?

The caller gets the next available option or a callback request. It does not promise a time that is not on the calendar.

Your next missed call is already dialing someone else.
