You’re running a mower or a crew — you can’t hear the phone, let alone quote a job. FrontDesk answers every call, books the estimate, quotes the work, and confirms it on the call while you keep working.
Spring hits and the calls pour in — cleanups, installs, weekly mowing. But you’re out on a property with equipment running, and every unanswered call is a season-long recurring client signing with someone else. The busy season is when you can answer least.
FrontDesk isn’t only an AI receptionist. It’s the complete front office in one app — the automations that bring money in while your operating cost goes down. Built by the IB365 team after more than a year of building phone, scheduling and messaging software, and made for service businesses that live on the phone. Part of the IB365 family.
Yes. FrontDesk books weekly and seasonal routes onto your calendar, quotes cleanups and installs from your price list, and confirms every booking — so your recurring book keeps growing while you’re on the mower.
Voice answering and a real local number are set up in one short call — you give it your services, prices, and hours, and the line starts answering. Texting customers is optional: a one-time $49.99 setup registers your business with the carriers (usually 1–2 weeks), then customers who book online get confirmations under your business name.
No. If you can text, you can run FrontDesk. Your whole day lives on your phone — you just swipe through it. No software to learn and no setup work.
No. There is no contract and no subscription: you load a prepaid balance and pay for what you use. While you hold a FrontDesk number there is a $5 minimum per 30 days, and your usage counts toward it. Close your account any time in the app.
Every business runs in its own private space; nothing is shared between accounts. FrontDesk is not for patient health information: healthcare practices that need HIPAA use IB365.
One setup call. A few minutes of questions. It’s answering before you finish your coffee tomorrow.
No subscription, no platform fee, unlimited users, no contract. Prepaid: $0.65 a minute for calls, billed by the second, $0.10 a text.
