booking and reminders

Appointment scheduling for contractors, without the phone tag

Every job starts with an appointment, and getting one on the calendar shouldn't take four calls and two voicemails. Our appointment scheduling for contractors books estimates and service calls in the slots you choose, then sends confirmations and reminders so people actually show up.

It works from every place customers reach you: phone calls, texts, website chat, and lead forms. We set it up with your calendar and your rules, and we keep it running.

How booking works

  1. You pick the slots. Tell us when you do estimates and service calls, how long each takes, and how much travel time you need between them.
  2. Customers get booked. Ace books callers, website chat books visitors, and lead follow-up sends new leads a link to pick a time.
  3. Confirmations go out right away by text and email, with the date, time, and what to expect.
  4. Reminders go out before the visit, with an easy way to confirm or reschedule.

Online booking for home service businesses

A lot of customers would rather pick a time on their phone than call. Online booking gives them that option, but only inside the windows you set. You stay in control of your day. Nobody books you for a Sunday or squeezes a two-hour estimate into a 30-minute gap.

Appointment reminders that cut no-shows

A homeowner who books an estimate on Monday can forget by Thursday. A reminder the day before, and another a few hours ahead if you want one, keeps the appointment on their mind. If plans change, they can reschedule instead of leaving you standing at a locked door.

Not another scheduling app for contractors

There are plenty of scheduling apps for contractors. Most of them expect you to set them up, keep them updated, and remember to check them. With Blu Collar Technology, we do the setup and the upkeep. We connect the calendar to the app on your phone. You just look at what's booked.

See every booking

Your daily call report lists what got booked yesterday, and the mobile app shows every appointment and the conversation that led to it.

Questions about booking and reminders

Can I block off time so nothing gets booked?

Yes. You choose the days and hours that are open. Block time off whenever you need to, or text us and we'll do it.

Can customers reschedule on their own?

Yes, if you want them to. Reminders include an easy way to confirm or pick a new time, inside the windows you set.

Does it work with my current calendar?

We'll go over that on the first call. We connect to a calendar you can see on your phone and only open the time slots you pick.

Book a 20-minute call. We’ll look at how calls and leads come in today and show you where work is slipping through. If it’s not a fit, we’ll tell you.
