# The AI receptionist for irrigation services that books every start-up and blowout An AI receptionist for irrigation services answers your phone 24/7 in your company’s name. It books spring start-ups and fall winterizations, captures repair requests like broken heads, leaks and controller problems, and takes new system installation leads with the property size and water source. You keep your techs on the route, and your schedule fills itself. ## Why irrigation services miss calls - **Start-up and blowout season floods the phone:** In April, every customer wants their system turned on at once, and in October and November, everyone wants it blown out before the first freeze. You are running a compressor all day while the phone rings nonstop. - **Repair calls need specific details:** Is it one head or a whole zone, is water pooling or spraying, is the controller showing an error, where is the backflow. Without asking, you roll out without the right parts and have to come back. - **Install leads get lost among service calls:** A new system install for a large property is far more valuable than a single head replacement, but on a voicemail they sound the same. Your best leads wait behind dozens of routine calls. ## Calls Vocenya answers for irrigation services - Spring system start-ups - Fall winterizations and blowouts - Broken sprinkler head and leak repairs - Controller and timer programming problems - New irrigation system installation - Backflow testing - Drip irrigation for beds and gardens ## How does an AI receptionist help irrigation companies? Irrigation work comes in two big waves, spring start-ups and fall winterizations, with repairs in between. The receptionist answers every call 24/7, books start-ups and blowouts into your route schedule, captures repair details so your tech brings the right parts, and flags new installation leads for you. You get a text summary of each call, and your techs stay on the route instead of stopping to answer the phone between properties. ## Can it schedule spring start-ups and fall winterizations? Yes. You set the days you are working in each town, and it books customers into those slots, capturing the address, where the backflow and shutoff valve are, and any gate codes. It can explain what a start-up includes, and why a blowout matters before the first hard freeze, using your notes. Filling those routes early means fewer phone calls in the busiest weeks and a more efficient day for each tech. ## How does it handle repair calls? When a customer calls about a leak, a stuck zone, a broken head or a controller problem, the receptionist asks which zone, what they are seeing and whether water is still running. Using your guidance, it can suggest simple steps, like shutting off a zone at the controller. It then books a repair or sends you the details. Your tech arrives with the right parts, and the customer feels taken care of. ## Can it capture new irrigation system leads? Yes. For new installs, it asks about the property size, lawn and bed areas, whether the home is on town water or a well, and whether the customer wants drip lines for gardens. It flags those leads as priority and books a design visit or sends them to you right away. Those are the jobs that grow your customer base, since every new system becomes a start-up and winterization customer for years. ## Frequently asked questions ### Can the AI receptionist tell customers our start-up prices? Yes, if you give it your pricing, such as a flat start-up or winterization price by number of zones. It shares that clearly and notes any extra charges you list, like replacing broken heads. You can update prices each season in a few minutes. ### Can it book into ServiceTitan or Jobber? Yes. It books appointments into ServiceTitan, Jobber, Housecall Pro or Google Calendar on the Growth and Pro plans, and sends leads into Jobber and Housecall Pro. Your route planning stays in the system you already use. Each booking includes the zone count, address and gate code the customer gave. ### What if a customer calls with a major leak? You can have it tell callers how to shut off their system at the controller or the main irrigation valve, based on your guidance, and then flag the call for a warm transfer or a priority visit. That limits water damage and keeps the customer calm. ### Can it handle calls in Spanish? Yes. It speaks English, Spanish, Russian and Ukrainian today. It answers in the caller’s language and sends you the summary in English, so your office can schedule the job without needing a translator. That makes it easier to serve every household on your routes. ### Is there a free trial? Yes. Every plan has a 14-day free trial with no contract.
