Most shop owners spend 5+ hours a week on phone tag, handwritten receipts, and scheduling. At $99/mo, it pays for itself if it saves you just 2 hours of admin work.
SMB Forge works as a virtual receptionist for electricians — answering calls 24/7, booking jobs, and sending invoices so you never miss a lead. Unlike a traditional answering service, our AI assistant handles the full conversation: qualifies the caller, checks your calendar, books the appointment, and follows up. Electrical-specific emergency triage, breaker panel calls, and after-hours outage coverage — all without hiring a receptionist.
SMB Forge works for any service business. See how we help yours:
Every call answered. Every job booked. Every invoice sent. One platform, $49/mo.
