Across every trade
What doesn’t change
whatever the job is
Every trade, one way of working. Your customers keep dialing your number, and the calls you can’t take get answered, booked and written down.
Your number, your greeting
Customers keep the number they already have saved. Your phone rings first, and the calls you don’t pick up are forwarded to Front&Center, which answers in your business name.
The job, written down
It asks what your trade needs to know: the address, what’s wrong, how urgent it is. Then it books the visit and texts you a summary. The details wait in your dashboard, on the call page.
Emergencies first, always
Gas, water on the floor, a burning smell: the caller gets the safety step and you get the text right away. Everything else becomes a booked time on the calendar.
The list
Every trade,
one front desk
Each card goes to that trade’s own page, with the calls it gets and how they’re handled. Five show at a time, and a button opens the rest.

Questions
Three questions
from every trade
Which trades does Front&Center serve?
48 home-service trades have their own page here: HVAC, plumbing, electrical and roofing, through to locksmiths, septic, snow removal, renovations and water damage. Each page shows the calls that trade gets in a normal week. The phone problems rhyme across all of them: emergencies, quotes and “can you come today?”
My trade isn’t on the list. Will it still work?
Yes. There’s no trade template behind it. Front&Center is briefed on your business: your services, your hours and the questions your callers ask, so a detailing shop or a septic crew works the same way. Hear it answer in your company’s name on a demo call before you start a trial.
Does it work if I run more than one trade?
Yes. One business line can cover everything you do: HVAC and plumbing under one name, or handyman work plus small renovations. Brief it on all of it and it asks the right questions for whichever job the caller has.
Put Front&Center on your line.
Hear it take a call in your company’s name first. Setup is three steps from a computer, and you keep your number.
