From May to September the phone rings non-stop with the same people in the office, and after every storm it rings again. Every call that hits voicemail is a job that goes to the next company on Google. IA home answers every call on the first ring, 24/7, in English or Spanish.
Dispatching in Jacksonville is a puzzle of zones, skills and traffic. IA home books each call into the right slot and sends the customer the time window, so your office does not rebuild the board all day.

Jacksonville is the largest city in Florida by area, with long drive times between neighborhoods and many military families. Local contractors usually work for military families, homeowners, landlords and small businesses.
With long routes, booking the right zone matters. IA home books each visit into the right area and time window so trucks do not cross the city.
It answers routine questions itself (hours, service area, prices from your list), triages emergencies with your rules, books visits on your board and asks for photos and model numbers by text.
A homeowner in Jacksonville calls about long routes between service zones on a Saturday. Instead of voicemail, IA home asks the right questions, texts a link to send a photo of the unit label and books a visit for Monday morning with the right technician.
Typical numbers for a 3–15 truck company.
Spanish-speaking customers wait for the one bilingual person, or call someone else.
A repair or replacement lead that reaches voicemail is booked by the next company.
Heat waves and storms bring more calls than the office can pick up.
No AC at night or a burst pipe on Sunday: customers call until someone answers.
Same process at 10 AM in May or 2 AM in August.
It picks up immediately, in the caller's language, says it is the company's AI assistant and that the call may be recorded.
Emergency: alerts the on-call tech. Routine: books a time window. New system: books an estimate. It asks for photos and model numbers by text.
Everything lands on one board: summary, transcript, address, visit and photos. Your office steps in only when a human is needed.
Jobs recovered and office hours saved.
