How it helps your trade
HVAC
Heat waves and cold snaps flood your phone while every tech is on a job. Each call gets answered and the visit gets booked.
Plumbing
Burst pipes don’t wait for business hours. Plugboard Co takes the details at 2 a.m. and sends urgent calls to you.
Electricians
You can’t answer from inside a panel. Callers get a response, and you get the job details by text.
Roofing and restoration
After a storm, calls arrive all at once. Many calls are handled at the same time, so none ring out.
Landscaping, cleaning, and pest control
Customers want a quote or a time slot fast. Visits go straight onto your calendar.
Contractors and painters
Big estimates start with a phone call. Plugboard Co captures the project, the address, and a good time to visit.
Here’s what a call looks like
A caller reaches you at 9 p.m. instead of voicemail. Plugboard Co gets their details, books the visit, and you get a text. You never lose the job to the next company on Google.
If one missed call a month turns into a booked job, it can pay for itself.
Example only. Prices and openings come from your own business details.
