Missed-call recovery for service businesses

Turn unanswered calls into lead texts your team can act on.

FrontDeskAnswer answers calls your team misses, captures the job details, and sends a clean lead summary to the dispatcher or owner. Customers keep calling your existing number.

Existing number

Forward only the calls you choose.

Lead text

Lead text

Sent

Dispatcher notified

Name, phone, issue, address, urgency, and preferred window sent by SMS.

Control

Owner controlled

Routing stays reversible

Pause call handling in the app; stop forwarding at the phone provider when needed.

Existing number stays

Customers keep calling the same business phone number; forwarding is reviewed separately.

No surprise routing

Creating an account or opening an invite does not make FrontDeskAnswer answer live calls.

Recording off by default

The setup flow keeps privacy controls visible before a real call is routed.

Fast callback context

The team gets the information needed to follow up while the job is still warm.

Safe test setup

Review business details, forwarding, privacy, and test-call readiness before live routing.

Built for operators

Clear lead summaries and simple controls, not another complicated phone system.
