8 Reasons We Lead the Market

No other AI answering service at this price point offers warm transfer, email ticketing, multilingual support, Visual IVR, 5000+ integrations, and self-service setup. We built what others won't.

1

Warm Transfer with Summary

Before connecting the caller, you hear a quick summary of who's calling and why. You're never caught off guard.

You hear this summary:

"Emergency call. No heat. Caller Mike. 12 Oak Street. Indoor temp 58 degrees. Press 1 to accept, 2 to decline and open a ticket."

2

Accept or Decline First

Based on the summary, decide whether to take the call. Non-urgent at 2 AM? Decline and it opens a ticket and emails it to your designated mailbox.

You choose:
✓ Press 1: Accept
Press 2: Decline
3

Self-Service Setup in 10 Minutes

No 30-minute sales calls. No demos required. Sign up, configure your AI, add your team, forward your calls—done.

Unlike others:
✗ Others → "Book a demo"
✗ Others → "Talk to sales first"
✓ CallDispatcher → Start now, free trial
4

State-of-the-Art Voice Quality

We partner with leading AI voice labs. Callers like the natural sounding AI voices and are comfortable engaging.

Research shows:
Premium AI voices rate 4.2/5 for naturalness vs 4.7/5 for humans. 27% fewer abandoned calls with natural-sounding AI.
5

Built-In Email Ticketing

Every call automatically generates an email ticket with caller details, issue summary, and urgency level. No third-party ticketing tool required—it's included in your plan.

You control what you receive:

Tickets route to your designated inbox—no login required.

Your customers call in Spanish? Your AI answers in Spanish. Same for French, Portuguese, Chinese, and 28 more. No extra setup, no add-on fees—multilingual is built in.

Why this matters:
62M+ Spanish speakers in the U.S. If your AI can't help them, your competitor's will. CallDispatcher auto-detects language and responds naturally.
8

Visual IVR

During a call, your AI can text the caller a link to upload photos, model numbers, or documents—so your tech arrives with full context before stepping on site.

Example scenario:

"I see you have a leaking unit. I just texted you a link—can you snap a photo of the model number sticker? That way our tech will bring the right parts."

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our AI receptionist and answering service.

What is an AI receptionist for service businesses?

An AI receptionist is an intelligent call handling system that answers your business phone 24/7, understands caller needs, triages emergencies, and routes calls appropriately. CallDispatcher's AI receptionist handles calls for HVAC, plumbing, roofing, garage door, appliance repair, and 17+ service industries—sounding natural, not robotic.

How does the plumbing dispatcher integration work?

CallDispatcher integrates seamlessly with your plumbing dispatcher workflow. The AI automatically triages incoming calls, identifies emergencies like burst pipes or no-heat situations, creates detailed tickets for your dispatch system, and warm-transfers urgent calls to your on-call technician with a whisper summary of the issue.

Is there an AI receptionist for appliance repair businesses?

Yes! CallDispatcher offers a specialized AI receptionist for appliance repair businesses. It handles calls about broken refrigerators, flooding washers, malfunctioning ovens, and other appliance emergencies. The AI understands urgency levels—a leaking refrigerator gets prioritized differently than a scheduling question.

How does garage door answering service work?

Our garage door answering service handles calls when you're busy or after hours. CallDispatcher's AI answers garage door service calls, identifies emergencies (like a stuck door or security issue), collects customer details, and either warm-transfers to your technician or creates a callback ticket with full context.

What is call ticketing and triage for roofers?

Call ticketing and triage for roofers categorizes incoming calls by urgency—emergency leaks get immediate dispatch while estimate requests become scheduled callbacks. CallDispatcher creates detailed tickets with customer information, location, issue description, and routes emergency calls to your on-call roofer 24/7.

Do you offer an answering service for electrical contractors?

Yes! CallDispatcher provides a specialized AI answering service for electrical contractors. The AI understands electrical emergencies—power outages, sparking outlets, burning smells, exposed wiring—and immediately dispatches your on-call electrician. Non-urgent calls like panel upgrades or estimates get ticketed for next-day follow-up.

How does AI answering work for pest control companies?

Our pest control answering service handles calls about infestations, wildlife intrusions, and recurring treatments. The AI identifies urgent situations—like bee swarms near children or rodents in living spaces—for immediate dispatch, while scheduling routine treatments and inspections as callbacks. Available 24/7 for emergency pest situations.

Is there an AI receptionist for property management companies?

Absolutely. CallDispatcher's property management answering service handles tenant calls about maintenance emergencies (burst pipes, no heat, lockouts), rent inquiries, and after-hours issues. The AI triages by urgency and property, dispatching maintenance staff for emergencies while logging non-urgent requests for your team.

How does CallDispatcher work for towing companies?

Our towing company answering service captures every roadside call 24/7. The AI collects vehicle location, type, and situation (accident, breakdown, lockout), then dispatches your nearest available driver. For multi-truck operations, it integrates with your rotation schedule to assign the right driver automatically.

Do you offer an AI receptionist for small businesses?

Yes! While CallDispatcher specializes in service businesses with emergency dispatch needs, our AI receptionist works for any small business requiring 24/7 call handling—law offices, accounting firms, consultants, agencies, real estate, and more. Every business gets intelligent call screening, message taking, appointment inquiries, and urgent call escalation to ensure you never miss an important call.

Which industries does CallDispatcher serve?

CallDispatcher serves 18+ industries including HVAC & Plumbing, Electrical, Roofing, Garage Door, Appliance Repair, Towing, Locksmith, Pest Control, Property Management, Dental, Veterinary, Small Business, and more.

What is warm transfer with whisper?

Warm transfer means CallDispatcher calls your technician first, gives them a quick 10-second whisper summary of the caller's issue, and lets them press 1 to accept or 2 to send as a callback ticket—before connecting to the customer. Your team is fully briefed before every conversation.

Does the AI speak Spanish and other languages?

Yes—your AI receptionist supports 32+ languages out of the box, with no extra configuration or add-on fees. When a customer calls in Spanish, your AI responds in Spanish automatically. This is especially valuable for service businesses in areas with large Spanish-speaking populations—over 62 million people in the U.S. speak Spanish at home. Supported languages also include French, Portuguese, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Hindi, German, Italian, and many more.

What is Visual IVR and how does it help my business?

Visual IVR (coming soon) is a feature where your AI can text callers a secure link during the call to upload photos, model numbers, serial numbers, or documents. For example, if a homeowner calls about a broken furnace, your AI can ask them to snap a photo of the model sticker—so your technician shows up with the right parts on the first trip. This reduces repeat visits, speeds up diagnosis, and gives your team full context before they arrive on site. No other AI answering service at this price point offers anything like it.

*CallDispatcher uses ElevenLabs voice technology, which consistently ranks #1 in independent voice quality surveys—scoring 18% higher than Google TTS, 31% higher than Microsoft Azure, and 12% higher than Speechify in human-likeness and clarity ratings.
