A short product walkthrough. Heyfon answers the call, qualifies the job, books it and follows up.
From lockout call to engineer dispatched
A midnight lockout, where speed decides who gets the job.
12:37 AM
Lockout call
A customer is locked out of their home. They are calling every locksmith listed until someone answers.
12:38 AM
Situation established
Heyfon asks whether anyone is vulnerable or at risk, the exact address and whether the door is damaged.
12:39 AM
Job details captured
Property type, lock type where the customer can describe it, and how they will verify they live there.
12:39 AM
Transferred to on-call
A live lockout is transferred straight to your on-call locksmith with the details already captured.
12:40 AM
Confirmation sent
The customer receives an SMS with the arrival window while they are still on the doorstep.
You answer first, which in a lockout is usually the whole difference between winning the job and not.

The Challenge
Emergencies happen at all hours
Locked out at midnight. Customer calls the first locksmith who answers.
High competition
Multiple locksmiths in town. Speed to answer determines who gets the job.
Manual dispatch is slow
Customer calls, staff manually dispatches, technician gets update slowly. Delays hurt conversion.
Every unanswered call is a job lost within a minute
A locked-out customer works down the list until somebody picks up. Voicemail is the same as not existing.
