Hank vs. CallsAround

Hank functions as a round-the-clock AI voice assistant specifically designed for restoration companies. He promptly answers incoming calls within a mere two rings, evaluates the nature of the loss—whether it’s due to water, fire, mold, or storm damage—and collects vital First Notice of Loss information like property addresses and insurance details. In addition, Hank skillfully filters out unwanted telemarketing and robocalls, while directly scheduling jobs into your CRM system without any hassle. For urgent situations, he guarantees that high-priority calls are quickly routed to your on-call project managers and persistently dials through your on-call list until someone responds. Moreover, Hank is capable of recognizing calls from Contractor Connection and other third-party administrators (TPAs), capturing essential claim information and forwarding it to the relevant team member. Every call gets transcribed, summarized, and sent via email in real time, with transcripts that can be conveniently searched on your dashboard. The full setup process can be completed in under ten days, which includes integrating CRM systems and complying with TPA protocols. In a fiercely competitive restoration market, where an astonishing 78% of customers opt for the first professional they reach out to, Hank guarantees your business remains their top choice. His remarkable efficiency and speed significantly enhance your ability to secure a greater number of jobs, ultimately driving your business's success in the industry. This ensures that your operation stays ahead of the competition while maximizing customer satisfaction.

CallsAround functions as a 24/7 AI answering service that includes emergency dispatch features specifically designed for home-service sectors like restoration, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and cleaning. It efficiently manages every incoming call to your local number through a customizable AI receptionist that ensures a natural interaction experience, qualifies leads, answers common inquiries, takes messages, and checks appointments on Google Calendar. In genuine emergency situations, the system bypasses message-taking to initiate a dispatch process that alerts your designated on-call staff in a predefined order of up to ten contacts, while also respecting availability windows set in Dispatch. It intelligently identifies answering machines to prevent voicemails from being recorded as answered calls, sends SMS notifications at each escalation stage, and facilitates warm transfers with relevant context about the caller's situation. With carrier-level dead-man failover, calls remain routed to your phone without interruption, even if technical issues arise with the AI system. Every interaction is carefully documented through recordings, transcripts, and a comprehensive escalation history, ensuring accountability and ease of access to information. Furthermore, it seamlessly integrates with various platforms such as Jobber, Housecall Pro, JobNimbus, PSA, and ServiceMonster, as well as supports Zapier, API connections, and signed webhooks, providing a robust and efficient service framework. This comprehensive approach enhances customer engagement while simplifying operations for service businesses, enabling them to deliver exceptional service levels even during high-demand periods or crisis situations. Ultimately, this innovative solution allows businesses to focus on their core services while benefiting from improved communication and operational efficiency.
