Challenge
The answering service took messages for every call and rang the on-call tech for almost all of them. Technicians were burning out, and genuine emergencies waited behind lockouts and noise complaints.
Solution
Callmate now answers every after-hours call, triages emergencies by the rules Halvik wrote per building, rings the on-call tech live only for water, fire, gas, heat and security, and files everything else as a work order with the unit attached.
Results
Result 01
Only 8% of after-hours calls now reach the on-call technician
Result 02
62% lower cost than the answering service it replaced
Result 03
Median 11 seconds to connect a real emergency
