Trades We Speak
Trained on the way your trade actually takes calls.
TradeAnswer knows the difference between a slab leak and a pinhole, an AFCI trip and a tripped main, a rolled shingle and a wind uplift. Every call gets routed and priced like a seasoned dispatcher would.
No. Your existing business number stays the same. We use conditional forwarding so your phone rings first and calls only roll over to TradeAnswer when you miss them or are already on a call.
How long does setup take?+
Most shops are live in under 2 minutes. We walk you through turning on conditional forwarding, then you're good to go. No tech skills needed.
Does TradeAnswer replace my regular phone?+
No. You and your crew answer first. TradeAnswer only picks up the calls you miss. Your customers still talk to a human when you're available; the AI is the backup.
Will my customers know it's an AI?+
We're transparent - TradeAnswer introduces itself as your after-hours dispatch line. In practice, customers tell us it's the smoothest after-hours call they've had with any contractor.
What happens if the AI can't handle a call?+
It escalates. We can warm-transfer to your on-call tech, page the next person in rotation, or take a detailed message and text it immediately - your choice.
Which CRMs do you integrate with?+
Jobber, Housecall Pro, ServiceTitan, FieldEdge, and Google Calendar out of the box. Custom webhooks for everything else.
Is there a contract?+
Month to month. Cancel anytime in the dashboard.
