For a plumber, an AI receptionist answers the phone while your hands are in a cabinet: it tells callers your service area, call-out fee and hours, takes the address and what is wrong, and books the visit into a free slot in your calendar. Every call is logged with the full conversation, so you can call back urgent jobs first.

Every call is logged with the full conversation, so you can call back urgent jobs first.
Set up an AI receptionist that answers every call when you can't. You add your service area, call-out fee, hours and services, then point your number at it - it takes the address, the problem and books the visit into your calendar. On Pludor this takes minutes in Answering settings, and the first 10 answered calls each month are free.
It answers calls, texts, WhatsApp and website chat on your behalf. It gives callers your call-out fee and service area, takes the address and what's wrong, and books them into a real slot in your working hours. Every call is logged with the full conversation so you can prioritise urgent callbacks.
It answers immediately and repeats whatever emergency instructions you've entered - for example your emergency number and 'turn off the stopcock'. It doesn't dispatch or diagnose on its own; it collects details and logs the call so you can ring urgent jobs back first. On Pludor you add these instructions in your business knowledge under Answering settings.
On Pludor there's no monthly subscription required: the first 10 AI-answered calls and 100 AI replies each month are free, and past that you pay credits at real cost x 2.5, shown before you switch it on. A credit is 1 cent, and new stores get 500 free credits. Optional paid plans bundle more credits if you don't want to watch your balance.
Only the prices you enter - like your call-out fee or fixed-price jobs such as drain unblocking. For work that needs a quote, it books a quote visit instead of guessing a price. It won't invent prices or diagnose problems; it collects details and books the slot you offer.
Sign in at pludor.com/answering with a free account, add your business knowledge (hours, service area, call-out fee, which jobs you do), and list each service with its length and price or deposit so callers book real slots. Then pick a name and voice, test it by calling your own number, and point your calls at the platform number it gives you.
It depends on your call volume, but a caller with water on the floor usually just rings the next plumber. You can estimate it yourself: missed calls x how many would have booked x your average job value. Pludor has a free Missed Call Revenue Calculator that does this instantly, no account needed.
No. You can use Pludor just for answering and booking, and keep your existing job app for everything else. If you want, Pludor can also take payments, deposits and invoices from the same account, but it isn't a full field-service suite with job costing, parts inventory or technician routing.
Yes. You list each service with how long it takes and its price or deposit - for example a 1-hour leak visit or a 45-minute refit quote - and the receptionist books callers into a real free slot in your working hours instead of 'someone will call you back'. The booking lands on your calendar with the full conversation in the call log.
A traditional service is a call centre billed per minute; an AI service does the same job with an AI voice that answers every call straight away. It gives your call-out fee and area, takes the address and problem, and books the visit - and it also handles texts, WhatsApp and website chat in one inbox. On Pludor the first 10 answered calls a month are free, versus per-minute billing at a call centre.
It answers them straight away and gives whatever instruction you have put in your knowledge - for example your emergency number and "turn off the stopcock". It does not dispatch or diagnose; every call is logged so you can call urgent ones back first.
It gives the prices you enter - a call-out fee, fixed-price jobs. For work that needs a quote it books a quote visit instead of guessing.
Tell it your service area and it tells out-of-area callers you do not cover them.
No. You can use Pludor just for answering and booking. If you want, Pludor can also take payments, deposits and invoices.
For the front office, yes: the AI receptionist answers calls and texts, customers book services with a length and a price or deposit, quote requests land as leads, and you send invoices and take card payments from the same account. It is not a full field-service suite with job costing, parts inventory or technician routing - many plumber businesses keep their job app for that and use Pludor for answering, booking and payments.
A service that answers your calls when you cannot - traditionally a call centre billed per minute. An AI answering service does the same job with an AI voice: it answers every call straight away, gives your call-out fee and area, takes the address and the problem and books the visit. On Pludor the first 10 answered calls a month are free.
It depends on your call volume - the calculator on this page uses your own numbers (calls a week, share you miss, how many would have booked, job value) to estimate what missed calls cost you a year.
