The job goes to
whoever answers first.

The same operating model behind our brokerage work, adapted for service teams: leads, jobs, SOPs, invoices, reviews, CRM or field-service tools, and back-office follow-up connected into one operating layer.

Hi, do you treat termites? Seeing damage near my back deck.
Yes — we handle termite inspection & treatment. Could you text a photo of the damage?
Thanks — that looks like subterranean activity. I can get a tech out Thursday AM or Friday PM. Which works?

The problem

Every shop we talk to

You're losing jobs you never even saw — and chasing the ones you did.

Leak 01

First to call back wins

A lead comes in while you're on a roof or under a house. By the time you check voicemail, they've booked the next contractor in the Google results.

Leak 02

Quotes go cold

You sent the estimate. Following up is the job nobody has time for — so deals you already won quietly slip away.

Leak 03

Your tools don't talk

Jobs in one app, invoices in QuickBooks, customers in your head. Even with field-service software, nothing ties the front desk, the follow-up, and the books together.

02

AI Layer

An operator, not a chatbot

The agent layer does more than answer. It works inside the tools your team already uses.

A chatbot talks. A copilot looks things up. Vera does it — she answers the lead, books the job on your calendar, drafts the invoice, updates your CRM, and chases the review. She reads and writes across your stack, and closes the loop without you.

Works the front door
Answers every call, text, and web lead in under 60 seconds, reads photos to size the job, qualifies, and books it on your calendar.
Runs your tools both ways
Not just reads them — writes: logs the customer, updates the job status, and marks invoices paid in the software you already run.
Generates the paperwork
Drafts and sends quotes and invoices from a few details, in your format — then files them where they belong.
Closes the loop
Follows up on cold quotes, sends appointment reminders, and asks for the Google review at the right moment — automatically.
Same operating model, in your team chat — answering SOP questions and updating records by message.

The difference no tool can copy

She doesn't start from scratch. She starts from your history.

Before day one, we load Vera with your business — every invoice you've sent, every customer, every job, your pricing and your service areas. Generic AI knows the internet. Vera knows your shop.

Day one

Trained on your history

Your past invoices, customers, and pricing go in before launch — so she quotes and answers like she's worked your counter for years.

Over time

An asset that appreciates

Every job booked and invoice sent makes her sharper — she learns your pricing, your repeat customers, your patterns. Software depreciates; Vera compounds.

Forever

Memory that never quits

When your office manager is out — or moves on — what they knew doesn't leave with them. It stays in Vera.

03

She works where your business already runs

Your tools · or a simple one we build

Already on a CRM or field-service app and QuickBooks? Vera plugs into the tools you already use and keeps them current — she doesn't make you rip anything out or learn new software. Running on a phone and a spreadsheet instead? We'll stand up a simple back office for you. Either way, one operator across leads, jobs, invoices, and reviews — not five disconnected apps.

Optional — a simple back office for shops that don't already have one. Sample data.

We connect your number, calendar, and tools, load your history and pricing, and run a short pilot on your real leads.
