Catch
Missed, overflow, or after-hours calls forward to a backup desk with your approved greeting.
Missed-call recovery for local service companies
Recover after-hours calls before they become someone else's job.
Homeowners do not wait around for voicemail. AfterHoursBooked catches missed and after-hours calls, asks the dispatch questions your team needs, and sends a booking-ready request before the caller moves on to the next contractor.

The revenue leak
This is not an AI problem. It is a missed-job problem.
Local service buyers call when the problem is happening. If nobody answers, many of them call the next contractor. AfterHoursBooked is built for the awkward gaps: after-hours calls, lunch breaks, busy dispatch lines, weekend overflow, and ads that keep ringing after the office closes.
How recovery works
From missed call risk to booking-ready request.
Ask
The assistant collects the caller's name, phone, address, job type, urgency, and preferred time.
Summarize
Your team receives a clean intake summary, so the callback starts with facts instead of guesswork.
Escalate
Emergencies, angry callers, and unusual requests can transfer or get flagged under your rules.
Example missed call
The goal is not to talk more. It is to lose fewer jobs.
The script is tuned to capture the minimum details your dispatcher needs without quoting final prices, diagnosing equipment, or promising a technician before your team approves it.
Caller My AC stopped cooling tonight. Are you open?
Backup desk I can get the request to the team. What city are you in, and is the system completely off or blowing warm air?
Caller Warm air. I'm in Mesa.
Backup desk Got it. I will mark this as cooling service. What is the best phone number, and do you prefer morning or afternoon?

FAQ
Clear boundaries for real businesses.
Is this a human receptionist?
No. The backup desk is AI-powered. The safe use case is narrow: collect approved intake details and escalate exceptions to your team.
Do we have to change our main phone number?
No. Most pilots start by forwarding missed, overflow, or after-hours calls to a backup number. Full number changes can wait.
Can it book jobs directly?
It can create booking-ready requests, calendar holds, or callback tasks depending on your rules. The default is to avoid promises your dispatcher has not approved.
What if the caller is angry or the situation is urgent?
We define escalation rules before launch. The AI can transfer, send urgent alerts, or stop and tell the caller a team member will follow up.
