## How a job moves through it

Four stages, one record. Each part hands its work to the next, and you can step in anywhere.

01

## Answer

Every call picked up, quoted from your book and booked.

02

## Send

The closest qualified tech, by live drive time.

03

## Get paid

Into your own accounts, before you leave the curb.

04

## Keep records

Proof on every job, books that match.

AI receptionist

## Every call answered, even at 2 a.m.

Your own business number with an AI receptionist that sounds like your shop. It quotes from your price book, books the job and texts the caller.

- Answers in English, Spanish or both, with your greeting
- Quotes only the price ranges you set, plus your after-hours surcharge
- Asks for the name, callback number, address, and the car's year, make and model
- Books the job and creates the customer for you

- Manual or AI dispatch: you choose per shop
