A call goes unanswered
The customer calls your usual business number. If your team misses it, call forwarding quietly brings in Backup Dispatcher.
Backup Dispatcher for home service businesses
When your team can’t answer, Backup Dispatcher texts the caller back, handles the conversation, and gets the job onto your calendar.
The problem with voicemail
You’re under a sink, on a roof, or driving between jobs. The phone rings. By the time you call back, they’ve already hired someone else.
Three simple steps
Your phone keeps working the way it does today. We catch only the calls you miss and take it from there.
The customer calls your usual business number. If your team misses it, call forwarding quietly brings in Backup Dispatcher.
The system asks what they need, answers the questions you’ve approved, and gathers the job details while their attention is still on you.
Your backup dispatcher offers your real openings, confirms the time, and adds the appointment to the calendar your team already uses.

Questions business owners ask
No. We never touch your personal phone. Your business gets its own separate number, and Backup Dispatcher can only see messages sent to that business line. It cannot see personal texts, contacts, photos, or apps.
That works. Unanswered calls can be forwarded from your landline to the Backup Dispatcher business number. You keep answering your current phone as usual; we only catch what you miss.
We connect to the calendar your team already uses whenever that system supports a direct connection or calendar sync. If it does not, we can use an approval step so your dispatcher confirms the opening before the customer is booked.
Yes. You can read the complete message history for every conversation on the business line. Nothing is hidden, and your team can step in when a lead needs a human answer.
No. During setup, we use your approved services and pricing guidance. If a job needs an on-site quote or falls outside those rules, the system collects the details and hands it to your team instead of guessing.
Prove it with your own calls
We’ll set up the missed-call text-back around your business, connect the booking flow, and test it with you before it goes live.
