Router running, workshop loud: the phone rings into the void. The customer doesn't stay.
In the workshop, machines drown out the ringtone; on install jobs, your hands hold the workpiece. Requests range from custom furniture to urgent door repair, and customers call several carpenters in a row. Whoever answers gets the visit — even if your work is better, they'll never see it.

FAQ
Carpenters: your questions
Can it take measurements by text?
It collects approximate dimensions and photos, never final measurements — those are your craft. But you arrive at the appointment already knowing what the customer wants, in which wood, and at what indicative budget.
How does it tell a build job from an install job?
You describe your services once (workshop build, install, repair, call-out); AI qualifies the request against that grid and offers the right appointment type. Ambiguous requests are flagged for your review.
I'm alone in the workshop, what's the point?
That's the exact use case: you have nobody to pick up, so Signal is your front desk for $149/month. The customer gets an instant response instead of calling the next carpenter.
Does it handle urgent repair calls?
Yes: stuck doors, jammed shutters, broken glass panels are detected as emergencies and trigger a direct notification per your threshold. Everything else waits neatly in the dashboard.
How many extra appointments recovered?
Based on 15 missed calls and a 27% conversion to visits, count roughly 4 appointments recovered per month. At a $1,800 average job, the stakes add up fast — run your math in our calculator.
