How it works

Getting started

You don't need any special software. If you have a website or can describe your business, you have everything you need to start.

01

Enter your business

Type in your business name or website. AllDayDesk pulls together your service area, the septic work you do, and your hours. You check the details and fix anything that's off, like towns you don't serve or tank sizes you don't pump.

02

Hear your receptionist

Listen to a sample call handled with your business information. This is a demo, so it doesn't book anything real. It shows you how your callers will be greeted and what questions get asked.

03

Connect your phone

Keep your current number. AllDayDesk walks you through forwarding calls based on your phone service, so calls reach your receptionist when you can't pick up. Then set your bookable services and open times if you want pumping jobs booked straight to your calendar.

What your receptionist does on a call

Septic calls don't wait for business hours. A homeowner with a sewage backup calls the moment they find it, often at night or on a weekend. A realtor needs an inspection report before a closing. A customer with a slow drain wants to know if it's the tank or the drain field. When you're under a tank or driving between jobs, you can't always pick up. AllDayDesk answers when you can't, collects the details you'd ask for yourself, and books routine pumping when you've set up your schedule. Anything urgent or uncertain gets left for you to read and act on.

Every caller gets a greeting with your business name and a real conversation, not a menu. For a routine pump-out, it asks what it needs to put the job on your calendar: the caller's name, the service address, tank size if they know it, and where the tank lid or access point is. For anything with symptoms, like a sewage backup, gurgling drains, or a wet spot over the drain field, it takes a clear message with what the caller described. It doesn't diagnose the problem or give care instructions. That call waits for you in the dashboard with a transcript and summary, so you decide how fast to roll a truck. If a caller asks something you haven't saved, like a price for a 1,500-gallon tank, the receptionist says it doesn't have that answer yet and takes a message instead of guessing.

Sewage backup

These calls come in scared and in a hurry. The receptionist stays calm, gets the caller's name, address, and what they're seeing, and takes a message that waits in your dashboard with the transcript. It doesn't tell them to stop using water or check anything. You read the message and call back with your own judgment on timing.

Routine tank pumping

The most common call, and the easiest to book. If you've set up bookable services and availability, the receptionist confirms the address, asks about tank access and lid location, offers an open slot, and books it once the caller agrees to the time. It confirms the details back before hanging up.

Alarm panel going off

Homeowners with pump systems call when the alarm panel beeps or shows a red light. The receptionist records what the panel shows and takes a message. It doesn't walk anyone through resetting the alarm or troubleshooting the pump. You decide what it means and when to respond.

Drain field concerns

Slow drains, soggy ground, or sewage smells near the drain field usually mean a conversation, not a quick booking. The receptionist gathers what the caller has noticed and takes a message. Whether it's a pumping, a jetting, or a bigger repair is your call to make when you talk to them.

Real estate inspections

Realtors and buyers call on deadlines. The receptionist collects the property address, who's requesting the inspection, and the date they need the report by, then takes the request or books it if you've opened inspection times on your calendar. You confirm you can meet the deadline when you review it.

Price and general questions

Callers ask what a pump-out costs, how often a tank needs pumping, or whether you serve their town. The receptionist answers from what you've saved about your business and service area. If the answer isn't saved, like a quote for an unusual system, it says so and takes a message.

Septic Service Companies: your questions answered

What happens when someone calls with a sewage backup at 10 at night?

The receptionist answers, gets their name, address, and what they're seeing, and leaves a clear message in your dashboard. It doesn't diagnose the problem or tell them what to do. You read it whenever you check and decide whether it can wait until morning or needs a truck now.

Can it book pump-outs straight onto my calendar?

Yes. New bookings go to the built-in AllDayDesk dashboard calendar once you've set up your bookable services and open times. The receptionist only offers slots you've made available and confirms the time with the caller before booking. If you'd rather use Google Calendar, you can connect your account in Settings after setup, and bookings will show up there too.

Can customers reschedule an existing appointment through it?

It can take a reschedule request, but changes to an existing appointment go to you as a request rather than a confirmed change. That way a caller can't accidentally move a job you've already routed your day around.

Will it know my prices?

It knows what you save in your business details. If you list your pump-out prices there, it can share them. If you haven't, it won't make up a number. It'll say it doesn't have that answer and take a message so you can quote the job yourself.

I'm on a job and can't answer. Do I lose the call?

No. When you don't pick up, the call forwards to your receptionist, which answers and takes care of the caller. Every call, transcript, and summary shows up in your dashboard, so you can return the urgent ones first when you're free.

Does it work with the dispatch or routing software I already use?

AllDayDesk doesn't connect to dispatch or industry scheduling programs. Bookings land in the AllDayDesk dashboard calendar by default, and you can optionally connect Google Calendar in Settings. From there, you can move jobs into whatever system you use for routing.
