Staple gun in hand, fabric stretched tight. Not you.
Webbing stretcher, staple gun, strap to redo: letting go mid-pass means starting over. Alone in the workshop, nobody answers — and the customer picturing their reupholstered sofa compares artisans by phone.

FAQ
Upholsterers: your questions
A customer wants their sofa redone: what do they get?
A text within 10 seconds, then AI gathers the seat count, the fabric considered — supplied or chosen from you — and the desired timeline. A viewing appointment with the sofa is offered in your calendar, and the mentioned budget lands in the file.
How much does a missed call cost an upholsterer?
With a $600 average rework and 10–15 missed calls a month, losses run $1,500–2,200 a month. One recovered full living-room set pays several months of subscription.
How do requests reach me mid-upholstery?
By silent text first, then an email with the full transcript. You read in the evening, staple gun down — each request arrives with piece type, fabric and budget already framed.
What if I answer between two armchairs?
Nothing triggers: Signal only activates on genuinely missed calls — no answer, busy line, closed hours. You decide the rest.
How long to be operational?
48 hours: forwarding code dialed once, script in your brand — seating, curtains, new work and restoration — and a live test call. Nothing to change in your workshop.
