Missed calls = missed revenue

Every Missed Call Is a Job Going to Your Competitor

The average home service business misses 30–40% of inbound calls. Each missed call has a dollar value — and a competitor waiting to answer it. JobOS Pro's Kate AI texts back in 47 seconds and turns missed calls into booked jobs, automatically.

How Kate works

5 steps from missed call to booked job.

Kate runs this flow automatically — no human intervention required. Every missed call follows the same sequence, 24 hours a day.

01
Call goes unanswered

Your technician is on a job, the office line is busy, or it's after hours. The call would normally go to voicemail — and the customer would call your competitor next.

02
Kate detects the missed call

JobOS Pro's Kate AI receives the missed-call signal from your phone system within seconds of the call ending.

03
Kate texts within 47 seconds

Kate sends a personalized SMS to the caller: your business name, a friendly introduction, and an offer to help — before they dial anyone else.

04
Customer books or qualifies

Kate handles the back-and-forth: answers FAQs, confirms service area, quotes a range, and sends a booking link — all through SMS.

05
Job appears on your dispatch board

When the customer books, the job lands on your board with all the details: name, address, issue, and preferred time. Your team picks it up like any other scheduled job.
