Rung at 22:10, raised before she hangs up.

For a field service team on BigChange, the phone voice agent answers your number when the office is shut. It takes the fault, the address, access and how urgent it is, raises the job while the caller is on the line, and texts them the reference.

Questions about the phone agent

The ones you send it. Your business gets a number for the phone agent, and you forward your line to it out of hours or when the lines are busy. It answers as your business, from the rules and knowledge you gave it.

From your rules. Describe them once, such as no heat or hot water with someone vulnerable at home, and those jobs are raised as urgent. Everything else is raised for the desk to book in the morning.

Yes. It writes the job into BigChange while the caller is still on the line, with the priority your rules give it. Your job system stays the record. Centrus adds the job to it.

A text from your number with the job reference. Texts are job updates only, never marketing, and a reply lands on the job, so the desk and the engineer both see it before the visit.

Yes. Each call is a logged run in Agent Builder, with the details taken, the job raised and the text sent. Add the overnight summary and the desk has every call in one email at 07:00.
