How does Frontly capture jobs when I am on the tools?

When a customer calls, Frontly answers in your business name, captures the job scope, the caller's address and contact number, asks when they want the job done, and writes the booking into your Frontly dashboard. You see it when you come off the tools. Each booking includes the full call transcript, so you have all the context.

Can Frontly detect emergency trade calls and escalate them?

Yes. Frontly listens for emergency keywords like 'burst pipe', 'no power', 'gas leak', 'lockout', 'flooding', and 'no hot water in winter'. It captures all job details, creates an urgent booking in your Frontly dashboard, and routes immediately to the on-call tradie by phone or SMS, even at 2 AM.

What does the AI sound like?

Frontly uses a natural, conversational English voice. Most callers cannot tell they are talking to AI. Try a free test call and judge for yourself.

How do I see the jobs the AI booked?

Every booking lands in your Frontly dashboard. Log in any time and see the inbound calls, captured jobs, transcripts, and outbound campaign results. Optional email and SMS notifications send the same data straight to your phone or inbox.

How much does AI phone answering for tradies cost in Australia?

Frontly is a flat monthly rate with no per-call fees and no per-minute billing. Pricing is tailored to your call volume and trade. Contact us for a quote. We typically respond within 24 hours. Competing services like Johnni AI and TransferToAI start at $99 but charge per call or cap your minutes. Frontly does not.

How is Frontly different from Johnni AI or TransferToAI?

Johnni and TransferToAI are priced around $99 a month but are feature-light: no visual workflow builder, no cross-call memory, no outbound campaigns. Frontly includes all of those on every plan and runs both inbound and outbound from the same dashboard. Sophiie AI charges $300 a month plus $400 to $800 setup. Frontly is $0 setup, flat rate, and month-to-month.

Can Frontly handle outbound follow-up calls to old quotes?

Yes. Frontly includes an outbound campaign manager. Load your list of quoted-but-not-booked jobs as a CSV, and Frontly will call each one in an ACMA-compliant conversation, capture the outcome, and schedule a callback if needed. Up to 200 outbound agents per customer. One of the fastest ways to find extra jobs in your existing pipeline.

Is Frontly ACMA compliant?

Yes. Every outbound call respects the Do Not Call Register, consent requirements, and caller ID rules. Full audit trail on every call. Data stored in Australia. Privacy Act 1988 compliant.
