Never miss an emergency call again

Smart dispatch, emergency routing, and seasonal campaigns for plumbers, HVAC, electricians, and contractors. Built for field service businesses.

The Challenge

Field service businesses live and die by the phone

Emergency calls require instant response, dispatch coordination is complex, and seasonal revenue is left on the table.

  • Missed Emergency Calls

    Customers with burst pipes or no heat call while your techs are on jobs. Emergency calls go to voicemail. They call the next contractor.

  • Poor Dispatch Coordination

    Office staff cannot reach technicians in the field. Job details get relayed incorrectly. Technicians arrive unprepared or at the wrong address.

  • No Follow-Up System

    Customers who got estimates never receive follow-up calls. Seasonal maintenance reminders never go out. Revenue sits on the table.

Common questions about field service communications

How does emergency call routing work?

When a call comes in, the AI asks about the nature of the problem. Keywords like "no heat," "burst pipe," or "power outage" trigger emergency routing. These calls immediately route to your on-call technician via their mobile phone. Non-emergency calls route to your office or schedule an appointment. You control which keywords trigger emergency routing.

Can technicians receive job details on their phones?

Yes. When you dispatch a job, the technician receives a text with customer name, address, phone number, job description, and driving directions. They can tap the address to open maps, tap the phone number to call, and view customer history from previous visits. This integrates with your field service management software for customer history and job tracking.

How do seasonal maintenance campaigns work?

SIPSTACK integrates with your customer database to identify customers due for seasonal maintenance (furnace tune-ups before winter, AC service before summer). The AI automatically calls these customers, offers available appointment times, and books confirmed appointments directly into your schedule.

What field service software do you integrate with?

SIPSTACK integrates with leading field service management platforms via API. Integration enables automatic job creation from inbound calls, customer history screen-pop, appointment sync, and invoicing. Custom API integrations available for proprietary systems.

Can customers approve estimates via text?

Absolutely. Technicians send photos or videos showing the problem and recommended repair. The customer receives a text with the estimate and approval link. They tap to approve, and the technician gets an instant notification to proceed. This eliminates phone tag and increases job approval rates.
