What does CrewKeeper actually do first?
It starts as a managed front-desk stack around the tools already in place: missed-call recovery, quote intake, booking handoff, follow-up, owner approvals, fallback checks, and a day-30 proof report.
Is this only missed-call text-back?
No. Text-back is the first visible leak. The paid service is managed setup and operation around phone, inbox, calendar, price book, current software, owner-approved messages, quote follow-up, review requests, and recovered-revenue proof.
Is this replacing my office staff?
No. It takes repetitive response, drafting, and follow-up off their plate while leaving judgment, customer care, and approvals with your team.
Will the AI invent prices?
No. Quote items come from the shop's approved price book, totals are calculated in code, and every quote stays a draft until an owner reviews it.
Do we have to replace our current software?
No. If Jobber, ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, QuickBooks, Google Calendar, Outlook, or a paper process is already working, we configure that first and keep it as the source of truth. CrewKeeper sits beside it to catch missed calls, draft next steps, and prove recovered revenue.
Are you a Jobber or ServiceTitan replacement?
Not on day one. CrewKeeper is mainly the AI front-desk, recovery, and implementation layer. If a shop needs Jobber configured, we can help. If a shop is too small or messy for a full platform, CrewKeeper can start lighter and grow into deeper workflows later.
Does CrewKeeper file with ESA?
No. It can flag relevant work, store notification references, track inspection steps, and remind the owner. The licensed contractor remains responsible for ESA decisions and filing.
How is recovered revenue calculated?
Estimated job value, accepted quote value, and verified paid revenue are shown separately. A job counts as verified only after a paid invoice is linked back to the CrewKeeper-captured lead.
What happens if the automation fails?
Every live workflow needs a fallback path: owner handoff, manual reply mode, retry/dead-letter logging, and a visible dashboard note. If there is no fallback, it is not production-ready.
What does it cost and how fast can we start?
Founding electrical partners: C$750 setup + C$399/month for the first three months. Standard managed rollout: C$1,250 setup + C$499/month. Deeper integration or high-touch support starts around C$1,750 setup + C$649/month, with AI voice priced separately after volume is proven. The first workflow is scoped in the audit. Timing depends on phone/SMS setup, approval rules, software access, and fallback testing.
