The problem
Service businesses lose an estimated $45,000–$124,000 per year from missed calls and slow follow-up. After hours, your competitor's first ring wins the job.

The fix
Scene Shift runs your front desk around the clock so every call becomes a conversation, every qualified lead becomes an appointment, and every booking shows up in your dashboard.
24/7 voice and web chat with shop-trained scripts — a no-heat emergency at 2 a.m., a leak on Sunday, or a tow-in while techs are in the bay.
Qualified callers become confirmed appointments on Google, Microsoft, or Apple calendars, with SMS confirmations and reminders sent automatically.
The Jobs Booked dashboard ties every call and chat to booked work — so you see exactly what the front desk earned you.
You're leaving money on the table
Based on patterns we see with Iowa trades and service businesses. Scene Shift usually pays for itself within the first month — often within the first week.
