FrontReplies
FrontReplies is a done-for-you AI receptionist and answering service for local, appointment-led businesses. It handles inbound calls, emails, text messages, social direct messages and website chats around the clock, responding in the business’s voice. The service captures leads, routes requests to staff, sends missed-call text-backs, follows up with prospects and books appointments using calendar availability. FrontReplies’ team sets up and maintains the replies and workflows, connects calendars, inboxes and communication channels, and obtains customer sign-off before launch. The service is aimed at dental practices, med spas, clinics, salons, barbershops, gyms and studios, and home-service providers such as HVAC, plumbing and roofing businesses. Common workflows include answering routine inquiries, following up on quotes or unbooked inquiries, and directing complex requests to staff.

Joqiva
Joqiva is a web-based job and back-office application for UK service businesses, bringing customer enquiries, jobs, quotes, invoices and bank-transfer payment follow-up into one workflow. Businesses can turn enquiries into jobs, use templates and saved service information, and prepare quotes for staff review before sending. Joqiva AI assists with enquiry processing, while staff check details before acting. Customers can review quotes and invoices online. Businesses can record payment updates, check bank receipts themselves and send reminders according to their plan; customer payments go directly to the business rather than being processed by Joqiva. Higher plans add team and job-management controls, saved item libraries, accountant access and audit logs. An optional AI Receptionist handles configured calls and captures enquiries or messages for staff review. Joqiva targets air-conditioning and other UK service trades.
