You're mid job, hands full
The phone rings while you're diagnosing a furnace or torching a roof seam. By the time you're cleaned up, that customer has already booked someone else.
BC owned. BC operated. Built for the trades.
Workflow AI is a done-for-you phone answering system built in BC for BC service businesses. It picks up 24/7, qualifies the caller, and books the job straight into your calendar while you're under a sink or up on a roof.
The problem
You can't answer the phone with a furnace apart in front of you. The caller doesn't wait. They dial the next company on Google.
The phone rings while you're diagnosing a furnace or torching a roof seam. By the time you're cleaned up, that customer has already booked someone else.
Callers who hit voicemail hang up and call the next number in the search results. Most customers book with whoever answers first, not whoever is best.
Quotes, callbacks, bookings, confirmations. You put in a full day on site, then work a second unpaid shift on the phone at the kitchen table.
A full time hire makes no sense for a crew of one to five. So the owner becomes the receptionist, and the receptionist is always on a ladder.
Do the math
Punch in your own numbers. This is the math that made us build the thing.
Conservative math: assumes the system books just half of the callers you currently miss, at your normal close rate, minus the Growth plan at $379 per month.
What we build
The receptionist is the anchor. Everything else bolts onto it, one piece at a time, as your business needs it.
The anchor service
A phone answering system trained on your business. It answers with your company name, asks the questions you would ask, and books real appointments into your real calendar. Callers regularly have no idea it isn't a person at a desk.
Setup from $500. Month to month. Cancel anytime.
Calls your website and form leads back within minutes, before they cool off and phone your competitor.
$249/moAnswers visitors on your website in real time and walks them straight into a booking before they bounce.
$129/moA confirmation text after every booked appointment. No-shows drop and your outfit looks buttoned up.
$49/moA review ask goes out after every finished job. More Google reviews means you rank higher when locals search.
$99/moMissed calls texted back, quotes chased, no-shows rebooked. No lead goes cold because you got busy.
$99/moThe invoice goes out the moment the job closes, not three weeks later. You get paid faster, every time.
$79/moYour old customer list is buried money. We call and text it until past customers book again.
From $499/campaignConfirmation texts, review requests, and follow-ups bundled together. Save $68 a month versus separate.
$179/moIf a task eats your evenings and follows rules, we can probably automate it. Scoped and quoted up front.
From $1,200How it works
Your line forwards to the system when you can't pick up, or all the time, your call. It answers instantly with your company name, any hour of the day.
It asks what you would ask. What's the job, where are they located, how urgent is it, and are they ready to book. Tire kickers get filtered, real jobs get through.
It checks your real calendar, books an open slot, texts the customer a confirmation, and logs the full transcript so you can read every word later.
The paper trail
You don't just get the call answered. You get a living record of it. Every conversation writes one line into a spreadsheet that's yours, building a searchable history of who called, what they needed, and what happened next. A mini CRM that fills itself.
| Time | Caller | Company | Issue | Outcome | New lead | Sentiment |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 9:42 pm | J. Reyes | Homeowner, Burnaby | No heat, furnace short cycling | Booked emergency | Yes | Neutral |
| 7:15 pm | Strata BW-2204 | Property mgmt | Annual maintenance quote | Estimate booked | Yes | Positive |
| 4:38 pm | M. Okafor | Cafe, New West | Walk-in cooler not holding temp | Transferred to tech | No | Neutral |
Every row captures the full picture, not just a phone number:
For a lot of trades, this sheet is all the CRM they need. Filter for new leads and you've got a ready-made follow-up list: name, company, phone, what they wanted. Nothing else to log, because it logged itself.
Under the hood
You don't install anything and you don't manage anything. Kadence builds the system around your business and hands you a working number.
Every system runs on professional grade phone infrastructure with a dedicated business line. It is configured, tested, and tuned by Kadence personally before a single customer call touches it. You review and approve everything before go-live, and most builds are live in one to three weeks.
Who's behind it
“I'm an HVAC apprentice in the Lower Mainland. I watched owners lose work every single time a call rang out. So I built it for the business I worked for.”Kadence, founder, Workflow AI
Most automation agencies sell the same package to anyone, anywhere on earth. Workflow AI is built for local BC businesses: clients we can actually talk to, in industries we actually know. That focus is the product.
The proof is a phone call away
The number here is answered by the same system we build for clients. Grill it. Ask about pricing. Try to trip it up. Book a demo right on the call.
