A dispatch answering service that triages every call and reaches your on-call tech
A dispatch answering service answers your incoming calls, decides how urgent each one is, and sends the urgent ones to the on-call person right away. Ansio does this with AI, 24/7. It answers every call in a natural voice, listens for emergency words like flooding, no heat, gas, or lockout, and when a call is urgent it dispatches the job to your on-call technician by SMS and phone, escalating until someone answers. Routine calls get booked on your Google, Outlook, or Square calendar or logged for the morning, so the next day starts with a clear list instead of a backlog. It works for field-service and trades teams such as HVAC, plumbing, electrical, locksmith, garage-door, pest-control, towing, and restoration, plus appointment-based offices that keep an on-call line. Forward your existing number and you are live the same day, on a flat monthly price with no per-minute fees.

What is a dispatch answering service?
A dispatch answering service answers your incoming calls, decides how urgent each one is, and routes the urgent ones to the on-call person right away. Ansio does this with AI, 24/7: it answers every call, triages for emergencies, and dispatches urgent jobs to your on-call technician by SMS and phone while booking or logging routine calls.
How does Ansio decide which calls are urgent?
Ansio listens for emergency words you define, such as flooding, no heat, sparking, gas, or lockout, and checks each call against the rules you set. Urgent calls go to your on-call tech; everything else is booked or logged. You decide what counts as an emergency.
How does it reach my on-call technician?
When a call is urgent, Ansio sends an SMS and places a call to your on-call technician, then keeps escalating until someone answers. You set who is on call and the order to try, so an emergency at 2 a.m. reaches a real person instead of a queue.
How is this different from a regular answering service?
A regular answering service mostly takes a message and passes it along. A dispatch answering service acts on the call: Ansio triages urgency, sends emergencies to your on-call tech until someone answers, books routine appointments on your calendar, and logs every call with a transcript and recording.
How much does it cost, and how fast can I go live?
Ansio is a flat monthly subscription with no per-minute or per-call fees, so a busy month costs the same as a quiet one. Most teams are live the same day: you set your on-call rules, connect your calendar, and forward your existing number, with no new hardware and no contract.
Which trades and businesses is it for?
It fits field-service and trades teams that run an on-call line, such as HVAC, plumbing, electrical, locksmith, garage-door, pest-control, towing, and restoration, plus appointment-based offices that need emergency triage after hours. Ansio also speaks 40+ languages and switches mid-call when a caller does.
