Built around your shop — not bolted on

By the time they hang up, the thermostat and camera installs is quoted, booked, and on the tech's phone.

Not an AI receptionist bolted onto someone else's software. DispatchNode prices from your smart home installation catalog and rules, books the job on the board, collects Stripe, and the tech sees it on their phone.

Anatomy of a Lost Job

7:15 PM - Urgent Call

New homeowner wants full smart home setup — thermostats, locks, cameras, and voice control.

8:35 PM — No Answer

"Please leave a message or press 1 for..."

7:18 PM - Lead Hangs Up

Searches Google, hires a competitor who answers.

Estimated Opportunity Lost

The Old Way:
Losing Projects to Voicemail.

Your technician arrives to install four smart thermostats and discovers the 1940s home has no common wires behind the wall plates. The quoted two-hour job balloons into an eight-hour electrical rewrite that you eat at cost.

A customer buys five different wireless camera brands from a big-box store and expects your tech to integrate them into a closed-ecosystem hub that rejects third-party devices. Your tech spends three unbillable hours troubleshooting before calling you to explain the bad news.

You quote $600 for a mesh Wi-Fi setup, but the customer's home has foot-thick plaster-and-lathe walls that kill 5 GHz signals. The job requires a $1,500 hardwired access point architecture you never scoped.

Smart Home Installation — why missed calls hurt

Market reality

An integrator walks into a 1920s Tudor home expecting to install four smart thermostats and discovers zero C-wires behind any of the wall plates. The two-hour $600 job becomes a full-day electrical rewrite—unbillable—because nobody asked the right intake questions before dispatch.

How Wolf wins the job

A homeowner calls wanting smart locks, motorized shades, and six security cameras installed throughout a 4,000-square-foot home. The AI agent asks three structured intake questions: What phone ecosystem do you use? Do you currently have a voice assistant hub? Is the home new construction or pre-1960s? The logic tree determines the customer needs an enterprise-grade networking backbone and tags the job for a mandatory site survey. The scheduling engine books the lead systems engineer for Tuesday at 10 AM. After the survey, the platform generates and sends an $8,500 digital proposal with a secure e-signature link. Once signed, the scheduling engine auto-creates a three-phase project: low-voltage wire pull on Monday, hardware trim-out on Tuesday, and final software programming on Wednesday—each phase gated so it cannot start until the prior phase is marked complete. No double-booked techs, no sequencing disasters.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the AI agent prevent ecosystem-compatibility failures before dispatch?

The intake logic tree asks the caller which smart home platform they currently run—Apple HomeKit, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, or a proprietary system like Control4. If the requested devices conflict with the existing hub protocol, the AI agent flags the job for a manual engineering review and blocks scheduling until compatibility is confirmed.
