You're Running Equipment All Day. The Phone Keeps Ringing. Jobs Slip Away.
Running an excavation company means long days in the cab of a machine. The engine noise drowns out your phone. Your hands are on the controls. When you finally check your voicemail, that contractor who needed site prep has already hired someone else. Every missed call is money walking out the door to your competition.
You're three hours into a foundation dig when your phone buzzes
A builder needs a basement excavated for a new custom home. It's exactly the kind of job you want. But you can't hear the ring over the engine, and you can't stop mid-dig to take the call. By the time you break for lunch and call back, they've already gotten three quotes and picked someone.
You're pulling your excavator on the trailer between job sites
A general contractor calls about an urgent septic system installation. They need someone reliable who can start within the week. But you're driving a loaded trailer and can't safely answer. When you finally stop and call back, they say thanks but they found someone else.
Rain clears after a week of bad weather and suddenly everyone needs excavation work done
Your phone lights up with five calls in one hour. Builders, contractors, homeowners, all ready to move forward now that the ground is dry. You're already on a job. You answer one call. The other four leave voicemails. By the time you work through them, most have moved on.

Every Job Inquiry Captured Right
Your receptionist answers every call with the professionalism your business deserves. It asks the questions that matter: what kind of excavation work, where's the site, what's the timeline, any access challenges. You get a complete picture of every opportunity without playing phone tag.
Site Details You Actually Need
Before you can quote a job, you need to know what you're getting into. Your receptionist asks about site access, equipment clearance, soil conditions, underground utilities, and anything else that affects your bid. Show up to estimates prepared, not guessing.

Every call summary hits your phone the moment the conversation ends. Project type, site location, caller details, timeline, everything. Check it between equipment moves. Flag the urgent ones. Follow up fast while the lead is still hot.
Capture Jobs Around the Clock
Contractors plan projects after their crews go home. Homeowners research excavation work on weekends. Your receptionist catches all of it. When you wake up Monday morning, you have a list of warm leads ready to close instead of cold voicemails to chase.

Septic installations and utility trenching require specific information upfront. Your receptionist asks about system type, perc test results, property details, and site access. Walk into every estimate knowing exactly what the job needs.
