The Challenge

This plumbing and HVAC company operates three locations covering a 50-mile service area. After-hours emergency calls, burst pipes, no heat in winter, AC failures in summer, went to a generic answering service that could only take messages. By morning, many of those callers had already hired a competitor. Dispatching was manual, with the office manager calling technicians individually to check availability. Service areas overlapped, leading to inefficient routing and longer response times.

The Solution

SchedulingKit's AI voice agent handles all inbound calls 24/7, triaging emergencies by severity and location. It checks technician availability across all three locations in real time, books the closest available tech, and sends the customer a confirmation with the tech's ETA. For non-emergency calls, it schedules routine maintenance during regular hours. The multi-location dashboard gives managers visibility into all three branches from a single screen.

Before & After

Before
After
Generic answering service after hours
AI voice agent books jobs 24/7
Many after-hours leads lost to competitors
Most emergency calls converted to jobs
Manual dispatcher called techs one by one
AI routes to nearest available technician
3 separate calendars for 3 locations
Unified multi-location dashboard
During a cold snap, call volume was insane. In previous years that would have meant lost jobs left and right. This time every single call got handled and routed to the right tech. That one week probably paid for the whole year.
