Customers text to book. You confirm from Telegram. Calendar synced automatically.
Manage bookings, invoices, and orders from Telegram — no app or dashboard needed.

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 flooring — answering calls 24/7, booking estimates, 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 estimate, and follows up. Flooring-specific estimate scheduling, material quoting, and job-site call handling — all without hiring a receptionist.
