Result in 90 days: +40% Booked Appointments
₹11,50,000/month total impact — ₹9,00,000 new revenue + ₹2,50,000 saved from replacing answering service.
The Challenge
The company was a 12-person operation handling residential AC installation, repair, and maintenance across the Bengaluru metro area:
- After-hours calls: 35% of all inbound calls came after 5 PM or on weekends. 70% of callers never left a message.
- Peak-season overload: During summer heat waves, call volume tripled. Staff could not keep up.
- Answering service costs: They were paying ₹2,50,000/month for a live answering service that could only take messages.
- Follow-up gaps: Leads were not followed up within 24 hours. Most had already booked with a competitor.
The Solution
- 1AI Voice Agent: Configured to answer all calls, 24/7, trained on their full service catalog and scheduling rules.
- 2Knowledge Base: Website, pricing sheet, and FAQ document uploaded with weekly auto-refresh.
- 3Booking Calendar: Integrated with their existing scheduling system for real-time availability checks.
- 4Call Routing: Emergency calls transferred to the on-call technician instantly.
