## The problem

- Builders call several hire companies and book the first one that answers.
- Quotes stall when the caller forgets weight, height or access details.
- After-hours enquiries for the next morning go unanswered.

## How crane and equipment hire companies use Officelink AI

### Crane for a roof lift

A builder needs a crane on the 18th for a roof truss lift. **What Officelink AI does:** It asks for the site, load weight, lift height, access and date, and sends a quote-ready summary.

### Same-day request

A site supervisor needs a machine this afternoon. **What Officelink AI does:** It marks the call as urgent and alerts your dispatcher by text straight away.

### Availability check

A caller asks if a particular machine is free next week. **What Officelink AI does:** It takes the details and dates for your team to confirm availability.

### Existing booking change

A client needs to push a lift back a day. **What Officelink AI does:** It records the change request so your team can update the schedule.

## Common questions

**Can it check what’s available?**
It takes availability requests for your team to confirm. Live checks against your hire system can be built on a Custom plan.

**Can it take bookings directly?**
It takes booking requests with all the details. On Pro it can book into an online calendar if you run your bookings that way.

**Can calls go to different people?**
Summaries can go to several addresses, such as sales and dispatch. Custom plans can route calls by reason.

**Do I keep my phone number?**
Yes. You forward calls from your existing number, so nothing changes for your customers. Forward only when you’re busy, after hours or all the time, and switch it off whenever you like.

**Will callers know it’s an AI?**
It sounds natural, but it’s an AI receptionist, not a person, and we recommend it says so in its greeting. You decide what it can and can’t say.

**Can I try it first?**
Yes. Start a free trial in a private sandbox with a receptionist built from your website. Make up to 15 test calls before you choose a plan.
