FAQ

Common questions

Does this replace ServiceTitan?

No. ServiceTitan remains your dispatch and job management system. Operator fills the gap around missed call recovery, which ServiceTitan does not handle natively.

How does Operator know when a call is missed?

Operator connects to your phone system log. Calls that ring without a booked job outcome within a set window are flagged as missed and added to the recovery queue.

What does my CSR have to do?

Review the callback queue each morning, make the calls, and mark whether a job was booked. Operator handles detection, drafting, and logging. The CSR handles the customer conversation.

How long does the first install take?

Most HVAC shops are live in a single session. Connect your phone log, define the recovery queue owner, and the first missed call card appears that day.

What metrics prove it is working?

Track daily missed call count, callback completion rate, and jobs recovered per week. Improving recovery at stable or lower missed call count means the practice is working.

Replace the manual layer. Keep ServiceTitan.
