The problem

78% of Customers Book With Whoever Responds First

Local service businesses compete on speed. If you don’t respond in minutes, you lose the customer to someone who does.

Enquiries From Every Direction

Phone, email, Instagram DM, Facebook Messenger, website form, WhatsApp — customers contact you on whatever platform they prefer. You can’t monitor them all.

Average lost: 5–8 leads per week across channels

After-Hours Enquiries Vanish

40% of enquiries come evenings and weekends. You’re closed. By Monday morning those customers have already booked with someone else.

Average lost: 40% of all inbound leads

Quote Follow-Ups Don’t Happen

You send a quote and hope they come back. They don’t. No follow-up system means 35–50% of quotes die in silence, and that revenue goes to a competitor who chased.

Average lost: 35–50% of sent quotes

Competitors Have More Reviews

The business with 400 Google reviews dominates local search. You do great work but only have 25 reviews because you never ask. That gap costs you clicks, calls, and customers.

Average lost: 20–30 reviews per year

What business owners say

Built for Local Businesses, Not Enterprises

“We were getting enquiries on Facebook, WhatsApp, email, and our website — and missing half of them because we couldn’t keep up. SoftSync-AI handles everything instantly. Our bookings went up 35% in the first month and we’ve gone from 40 to 120 Google reviews.”

FAQ

Questions From Business Owners Like You

If customers contact you to book a service, we can automate it — here’s how that works in practice.

What types of local service businesses does SoftSync-AI work for?

SoftSync-AI works for any local service business that relies on enquiries and bookings — car repair shops, auto detailers, estate agents, property managers, pet groomers, dog walkers, mobile mechanics, cleaning companies, and more. If customers contact you to book a service, we can automate it.

How does the AI know what my business does?

During setup, we configure the AI specifically for your business — your services, pricing, availability, service area, and common customer questions. It responds as a knowledgeable member of your team, not a generic chatbot.

Can it handle multiple enquiry channels at once?

Yes. SoftSync-AI handles phone calls, SMS, email, website forms, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and Instagram DMs — all simultaneously. Every channel gets a response within 5 seconds, even when you’re with another customer.

I already have a receptionist — why would I need this?

A receptionist works 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. SoftSync-AI works 24/7/365 — evenings, weekends, and bank holidays when 40% of enquiries actually come in. It also handles multiple conversations simultaneously, which no single person can do.

What results can I expect in the first month?

Most local service businesses see 15–30% more bookings in the first month simply from capturing leads that were previously missed. Review requests typically generate 8–15 new Google reviews per month. We offer a 60-day guarantee — if you don’t see results, we keep working for free until you do, no refund needed.
