How to replace missed-call follow-up workflows around ServiceTitan for plumbers

FAQ

Common questions

Does this replace ServiceTitan?

No. ServiceTitan handles dispatch, jobs, and billing. Operator adds missed call recovery on top, which ServiceTitan does not do natively.

How does Operator handle after-hours emergency calls?

Emergency language in a voicemail or missed call context is flagged immediately for on-call escalation, not held until the morning queue.

What does a plumbing callback task look like?

The task shows the caller number, any existing ServiceTitan customer match, service history, and a suggested callback script. The CSR makes the call and marks the outcome.

How fast can we be live?

Most plumbing shops are live in one session. The phone log connection is the critical path, not the ServiceTitan integration.

Replace the manual layer. Keep ServiceTitan.

Operator installs alongside your existing software. No migration. No disruption.
