The Problem This Solves
Emergency calls at 2am go to voicemail or an answering service that takes a message. The customer calls the next contractor. Even when someone answers, the triage process is slow — who's on call, where are they, what equipment do they need? Every minute of delay in a real emergency costs the customer money and costs you the account.
How It Works — Step by Step
Action: AI Voice Agent answers, identifies the emergency type, severity, and location through structured questions
→ Emergency classified within 60 seconds — fire system down, generator failure, biohazard spill, etc.
Action: On-call tech paged immediately via text and call with full job summary, address, and customer contact info
→ Tech has all details before calling the customer back — no wasted time gathering information
Action: Customer receives automated update: 'A technician has been dispatched and will contact you within [X] minutes'
→ Customer knows help is coming — stops them from calling competitors
Action: Escalation chain activated — next on-call tech paged, then manager notified
→ No emergency goes unresponded — guaranteed coverage through escalation
