Missed call management

What this category is

Missed call management covers anything that stops an unanswered call from becoming a lost customer — from a missed-call alert or a callback queue, through an answering service, to an assistant that answers the call outright. The four are frequently sold as one category and solve quite different problems.

Who should care

• Businesses where the person doing the work is also the person answering the phone.
• Anyone whose call log shows a meaningful number of unanswered calls from unfamiliar numbers.
• Businesses whose enquiries arrive outside opening hours as a matter of routine.

Read these, in order

• The phone rings while you're with a customer What do I do about calls I can't answer while I'm working?
• Half your enquiries arrive after you have closed What happens to the people who call or message after hours?
• Your leads go cold before you get round to calling back Why do my enquiries stop replying before I call them back?
• You answer the same eight questions every day How do I stop repeating myself to every customer who gets in touch?

What we build for this

• AI phone agent An assistant that answers your business phone on the first ring, in the caller’s own language, and leaves you a transcript, a summary and a contact record.
• Shared inbox Every conversation in one list, with a clear marker of whether you or the assistant is replying, and an atomic hand-over that cannot double-send.
• Reports & usage Every call logged with transcript and recording, a report builder over your own fields, and usage metered per bot so you can see where the minutes went.

Our own numbers, in one place

Every figure we publish — pricing, channels, languages and limits — is on one dated page with a link to where you can verify each row, and an equivalent JSON export if you would rather not read a table. See the published facts.
