[Get early access](mailto:support@lockcommand.com?subject=LockCommand%20early%20access) ## One person, every call answered An illustration of how the app fits a solo day, not a customer story. The times are made up; what happens at each one is how LockCommand works. 1. 8:10 a.m. **Hands in a door, phone in your pocket**: You're rekeying a rental when a call comes in. The AI answers with your greeting, asks for the address and the car, quotes your car lockout range and books it. The job is on your phone before you've packed up. 2. 9:05 a.m. **On the way**: You mark the job on the way and the customer gets a text from your shop number with how many minutes out you are. 3. 9:30 a.m. **ID, proof, signature**: Registration is in the glove box. You open the car, photograph the ID and the registration, and the customer signs on your phone. It's saved on the job with the time and place. 4. 9:40 a.m. **Paid at the curb**: You send the invoice by text. The customer pays by card into your own account, or by Venmo or Cash App. The receipt goes out, and a review request follows two hours later. 5. 1:15 p.m. **A call in Spanish**: Set to English and Spanish, the AI switches when the caller speaks Spanish and books the job the same way. 6. 7:20 p.m. **A night lockout**: The AI quotes the range plus your after-hours surcharge and books it. You decide whether to take it, from the couch. 7. 10:05 p.m. **Someone wants the owner**: A property manager asks for a person. The AI transfers the call to your cell. ## The four parts you'll use every day Each has its own page with every setting and limit. - AI receptionist: **Every call answered, even at 2 a.m.**: Answers while your hands are busy, quotes your ranges and books the job. - Customer texts: **Customers always know what's happening.**: Customers know you're coming without you typing a text at a red light. - Payments: **Get paid into your own accounts. $0 fee from us.**: Get paid before you drive off, into accounts you already have. - ID & proof: **Proof of ownership before you open the door.**: A record of why you opened that door, saved on the job instead of your camera roll. ## Solo: just you One user, every feature a solo shop needs, and AI minutes every month. When you hire, move up to a Dispatch plan. ### Solo For you One locksmith on the road, doing the calls and the work. $149.99/ month Billed monthly. Cancel any time.

On Solo, jobs land on your phone. - ID checks can be a rule: “Require ID check before completing” is in Shop details, so a solo shop can make it mandatory too. - Your number stays: Forward your business line to your AI number all the time, or only when you're busy or don't answer. - Out of minutes: Calls are paid from your wallet credit. With an empty wallet, calls ring your cell instead. ## Solo questions ### What do I get on the Solo plan? Every feature except the dispatch board and AI dispatch: the AI receptionist on your own local number, 200 AI minutes a month, customer texts, invoices and pay links, ID and proof, reports and QuickBooks Online sync. It's $149.99 a month for one user. ### How many calls do the included minutes cover? It depends on how long your calls run. 200 minutes is about 66 calls if they average three minutes. After that, calls are paid from your wallet credit per minute, and the pricing page has a calculator. ### Can I make ID checks a rule on Solo? Yes. Turn on “Require ID check before completing” in Shop details, and no job can be marked complete until you've recorded ID and proof of ownership. ### Can I still answer some calls myself? Yes. Turn the AI off any time, or set your carrier to forward to the AI only when you're busy or don't answer. Callers who ask for a person are transferred to your cell. ### What if I hire a tech later? Move to a Dispatch plan. Dispatch 3 gives you 3 users with any roles, the live map and AI dispatch. ### Do I need a computer? No. LockCommand runs on your phone. Calls, jobs, ID checks, invoices and texts all happen in the app. ## Keep reading - [Locksmith answering service Voicemail, a human answering service or an AI receptionist: what each one costs a locksmith and what it misses.](https://lockcommand.com//locksmith-answering-service) - [After-hours calls How to answer, price and route night and weekend lockout calls without being on the phone all night.](https://lockcommand.com//after-hours-locksmith-calls) - [AI receptionist An AI that answers your calls in English or Spanish, quotes from your price book, books the job and transfers to your cell.](https://lockcommand.com//features/ai-receptionist) - [Pricing Monthly plans by team size, included AI minutes, per-minute prices, boosters and top-ups.](https://lockcommand.com//pricing) - [Dispatch shops How a shop with dispatchers and techs runs calls, dispatch, roles and books in one place.](https://lockcommand.com//for/dispatch-shops) ## Let the AI pick up.
