A customer calls your number
Someone searches 'plumber near me' and calls the number on your van, website, or Google listing. It's your existing number. Nothing changes for them.
CallHandlr works with your current business number. You don't need to change anything you've already printed, advertised, or shared unless you choose to and we can provide you with a CallHandlr specific business number.
You can't get to the phone
You're under a sink, driving between jobs, or on another call. It happens constantly, and every unanswered call is a potential job walking straight to your competitor.
Research shows most tradespeople miss 20-40% of inbound calls during working hours. That's not a small number.
CallHandlr picks up within seconds
After your chosen ring period, the call is diverted and CallHandlr picks up within 3 seconds. It introduces itself as your team assistant and immediately puts the caller at ease.
"Thanks for calling Smith Plumbing. The team are out on jobs at the moment. Can I quickly grab a few details so a plumber can call you right back?"
Job details are captured
One question at a time, CallHandlr collects everything you need: name, phone number, postcode, problem description, urgency, and preferred callback time.
CallHandlr confirms all details back before ending the call. No missed information, no miscommunication.
You're alerted within seconds
The moment the call ends, a clean job summary lands on your phone by SMS. Everything you need to call back is right there.
Emergency jobs are flagged immediately so you can prioritise. Standard jobs are queued for your next available moment.
Appointment booked
On the Pro and Enterprise plans, CallHandlr checks your live calendar during the call and offers available slots. The customer confirms a time before they hang up.
No callbacks needed to book. No double-bookings. The appointment lands in your Google Calendar automatically.
WhatsApp follow-up sent
After the call, the customer automatically receives a WhatsApp asking them to send a photo or video of the issue.
Photos mean faster diagnosis, faster quoting, fewer surprises on site. You arrive knowing exactly what you're dealing with.
