AstraRelay

Turn your missed calls into booked jobs.

When you can’t pick up, AstraRelay texts the customer back in seconds, qualifies the job, and drops the lead into the CRM you already use. Then it proves what it recovered, in dollars, every month.

The problem

The cost of a phone that keeps ringing.

35%

of calls to HVAC and plumbing shops go unanswered. Peak season runs higher.

Invoca, 2026

average ticket value for an HVAC service call. Varies by region and season.

Service Roundtable benchmarks

of consumers go to a competitor if they don't get a response within 10 minutes.

The math

A shop that misses 30 calls a week is leaving about $39,000 a month on the table.Where 1 in 4 is a real job at a $1,200 ticket.

At the founding rate, the low end of every range above covers the service more than ten times over.

AstraRelay is built to recover the share of that revenue you can realistically capture, and prove it to you, in dollars, every month.

What you get

Four things change the day you turn it on.

01

A phone line that never goes cold.

Every call you miss gets a text back within seconds, even at 11pm on a Sunday. The customer is in a conversation before they dial the next shop.

02

Leads that show up ready to book.

When a job is real, you find out immediately, with name, address, and what they need.

03

Emergencies that reach you first.

No-heat, gas smell, water leak: the calls that pay for the month never wait in a voicemail queue.

04

A monthly report that pays for the service.

On the first of every month, you receive a written breakdown of the revenue AstraRelay recovered for you.

You never log into anything. We work in the background. You see leads in the CRM you already use.
Why AstraRelay

We’re not pitching software. We’re selling recovered revenue.

Built for the trades, not for tech bros.

You don't learn software, attend webinars, or watch tutorials. You forward your line. Leads start landing in your CRM. No app to install. Nothing to log into.

Remote setup · under 30 minutes

Paid for itself, or it didn't.

Every month, you get a written report showing the dollars AstraRelay recovered for you. If we're not making you money, you'll know, and so will we.

Reports on the 1st · auditable in your CRM

Infrastructure, not an AI startup.

AstraRelay is built like a piece of trade infrastructure: durable, monitored, and obsessed with the calls you can't afford to miss.

99.0% uptime SLA · in writing

Not an answering service.

Nobody answers your phone for you, and no AI voice pretends to be you. When a call goes unanswered, the caller gets a real text from your number in about 9 seconds, we qualify the job, and it lands in your CRM. You keep your phone setup exactly as it is.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

No. Nobody answers your phone for you and no AI voice pretends to be you — when a call goes unanswered, the caller gets a real text from your number in about 9 seconds, we qualify the job, and it lands in your CRM, with your phone setup left exactly as it is.
