Forge by OpsidianTrade-service intake infrastructure

Stop losing jobs when you miss the phone.

Daniel R. Furnace not heating. High urgency. Call back within 10 min.

The revenue leak

Customers do not wait for a callback when water is on the floor.

The phone is still the front door for local service. If it goes unanswered, the job often moves to the next contractor in the search results.

  • Urgent callers keep dialing until a contractor responds.
  • Voicemail loses the detail that makes a callback useful.
  • After-hours calls often carry the highest intent and the least patience.
  • Owners miss calls while driving, quoting, managing crews, and doing the work.

How Forge works

A quiet intake layer between the missed call and the booked job.

The workflow is intentionally plain: answer the call, collect the facts, text the owner, and make the callback faster.

00

The customer calls

No heat, burst pipe, dead AC, quote request. The call arrives when the owner is already working.

08s

Forge answers

The caller gets a real intake instead of voicemail. Forge keeps the call focused on the job.

42s

Details are captured

Issue, urgency, address, name, and callback number are organized into a usable handoff.

65s

The owner gets the text

A clean SMS reaches the owner fast enough to decide what needs attention first.

Example SMS summary

The handoff is the product.

Owners do not need another login. They need a precise dispatch note that tells them who called, what happened, and how fast to respond.
