Answers calls when you are busy
When you are with a client, working on a job, or away from the front desk, Ava answers the phone politely instead of sending callers to voicemail.

Live Call Outcome
More than a phone bot
Standalone answering bots stop the moment the call hangs up. Ava is built directly into Pier24. Depending on your setup, a completed call can update your customer record, capture or coordinate an appointment, and trigger the appropriate follow-up.
The problem Ava solves
If you run a salon, barbershop, detailing studio, contracting business, or consulting practice, the most valuable calls often arrive while your hands are full. Stepping away interrupts the client in front of you—but letting the call go to voicemail often means losing a new customer.
Even when someone does leave a voicemail or someone in the office scribbles a phone number on a notepad, details get lost before anyone calls back.
Ava solves both problems at once: she answers the caller right away and organizes the next step inside Pier24 so nothing slips through the cracks.
What Ava can do
Ava handles the routine phone work that keeps your business responsive without overstepping your rules.
When you are with a client, working on a job, or away from the front desk, Ava answers the phone politely instead of sending callers to voicemail.
Ava answers everyday questions about your services, location, business hours, and policies using only the approved information you provide.
For appointment-driven businesses, Ava checks real schedule availability, holds the time slot, and books the customer without phone tag.
If a caller needs a quote or custom service, Ava collects their name, phone number, and request details so your team has everything needed to respond.
You decide which calls should be transferred to a team member during business hours and when Ava should take a clear, organized message.
Every call is summarized and saved inside Pier24 automatically, creating a follow-up action so no caller is ever forgotten on a notepad.
You stay in control
Define which services can be booked over the phone, how long each service takes, and which staff or resources are eligible. Ava only offers real available times.
Even when a caller is just asking a question or requesting an estimate, Ava records their contact details and links the call directly to your shared customer list.
Set your regular weekly hours, after-hours behavior, and approved transfer numbers so Ava knows when to connect a caller to your staff and when to take a message.
Ava relies on your reviewed services, policies, and FAQs. She does not invent prices, guess policies, or promise times that are not on your schedule.
