Every missed call is a job booked by your competitor. AI changes that.

Missing emergency calls after hours — every voicemail is a job gone to a competitor

Common questions
Frequently asked questions.
What CRM works best for plumbing contractors?
GoHighLevel configured with separate pipelines for emergency calls and scheduled jobs. The key is AI that responds in under 60 seconds when a homeowner's pipe bursts at midnight — that job is yours, not your competitor's. Shiftops builds and configures this for you.
How does an AI voice agent handle emergency plumbing calls?
It answers every call, asks the caller to describe the issue, qualifies the urgency, and either dispatches immediately or schedules a time slot. The whole conversation happens in under 2 minutes, and the job is in your CRM before you even hear about it.
Can the system integrate with our existing dispatch tools?
Yes. Shiftops maps your current workflow first — whether you're using a whiteboard, spreadsheet, or field service app — and builds automation that fits into it, not around it.
How long does a plumbing CRM setup take?
2–3 weeks from kickoff to go-live. Emergency call routing is usually live in week 1.
