48-Hour Response Time Cut to 8 Minutes. 41% More Jobs Booked in 90 Days.

A 4-person HVAC and plumbing company received inbound leads through a contact form. Every submission went to a general inbox where an office manager read it, determined the service type, and forwarded it to the right crew lead. Crew leads responded when available. Average response time was 36 to 48 hours. Competitors were responding within 2 hours. Customers were calling competitors before this company ever replied. The bottleneck was a single human in a manual routing process with no escalation and no system.

An automated lead routing system that triggers on every form submission. The system reads the service type, routes the inquiry to the correct specialist based on current capacity, and sends the customer an immediate confirmation. If the specialist does not respond within 6 hours, the system escalates to the operations manager automatically. Specialists receive SMS notifications rather than email to eliminate the delay from inbox scanning.
