Fewer calls asking "when is the engineer coming?"

Breakdowns, rescheduled appointments, questions about servicing: they come in by phone, email and WhatsApp, often all at once and often outside office hours. With AI customer service most questions get an answer straight away, and a breakdown report lands complete with your planners.

The questions you receive

  • "Something has broken down, when can someone come?"
  • "What time is the engineer arriving?"
  • "Can my appointment be moved?"
  • "When is my next service due?"

  • "I have a question about my quote or invoice."

Example scenario

Example scenario

Example scenario: not a client case, but a realistic illustration.

Situation
An installation company with engineers across the region receives fault reports by phone, email and WhatsApp. Reports are often incomplete: no address, no make or model, no photo. The office calls every customer back, and in the evening everything is left waiting.
Solution
WhatsApp and the website get an assistant that asks the standard questions when something breaks down, requests a photo of the appliance and adds the complete report to the schedule. Customers with an appointment can check or change the planned time. Emergencies and dangerous situations go straight to the colleague on call.
What it delivers
Reports arrive complete, evenings included. The office makes fewer callbacks, the planner knows right away what is needed, and customers know where they stand.

Example conversation. Customer: My boiler is showing an error code and the house is getting cold. AI assistant: Sorry to hear that! Which code is on the display? Customer: A flashing E and then 1-1-9. AI assistant: That usually means the water pressure is too low. If topping it up doesn't work, I'll book an engineer.

Multiple locations or regions?

If you work with several locations or regions, a report automatically reaches the right schedule, based on postcode or type of work. Opening hours and contact details can differ per location.

Connections you often need

  • Your scheduling system, for arrival times, free slots and recording reports.

  • Your customer and asset data, so it is known which appliance is installed at which customer.

  • Your work order or service system, so a report can become a job straight away.

  • Your telephony, if you want the phone to help as well (through specialised partners).

People stay in control, and your customer data stays safe

Example conversation. Customer: I'd like to move my membership to a different location. AI assistant: That's possible. Because your contract is still running, I'll pass you to a colleague. Lisa from the team is taking over Lisa (team): Hi, I'm Lisa. I can see your question, I'll sort it out right away.

  • Safety first

    With a gas smell, water damage or other dangerous situations, the AI gives no technical advice but refers straight to the emergency line or the right authority.

  • Handover

    If the AI is unsure or a report doesn't fit the standard questions, it goes to a team member with everything that is already known.

  • Agreements on data

    Addresses and customer details are only used for the report. Data processing agreements are put in place with the suppliers.

Frequently asked questions

Can the AI recognise emergencies?

Yes. You define what counts as an emergency for you. Those reports go straight to a team member or the emergency line, with the instructions you set.

Does this work with my scheduling software?

That depends on your software. A connection is often possible; otherwise the report arrives complete in a fixed inbox or as a ticket. The first step looks at what is possible.

Can customers book an appointment themselves?

Yes, within the rules you set, such as service area, type of work and available slots.

Can the AI answer the phone too?

Yes, through specialised partners. XPRT sets it up and connects it to the same knowledge and schedule as your other channels.

What if a customer would rather speak to someone?

That is always possible. The AI gives the number or prepares a callback request with the customer details.

Ask the AI a question the way your customers do

For example: "My boiler is showing an error code, can someone come today?" Or book a demo using your reports as the example.
