Never Miss a $5,000 Recurring Service Contract Again
An AI-powered voice agent that handles scheduling, repair requests, and chemical inquiries 24/7. Fully integrated with Skimmer, PoolBrain, and Jobber.
In the pool industry, a missed call isn't just a lost repair; it is a lost $3,000 to $5,000 annual recurring revenue contract. During the peak seasonal surges of 'Opening' and 'Closing' months, office staff are often overwhelmed by a 300% increase in call volume, leading to long hold times and abandoned leads. Managing technician routes while simultaneously answering questions about pH levels or Hayward heater error codes is a recipe for operational burnout.
Read Laboratories provides a specialized AI Phone Agent that understands the difference between a routine filter cleaning and an emergency equipment leak. By automating the intake process, your route managers can focus on optimizing technician schedules in Skimmer or PoolBrain rather than answering the phone. This technology ensures that every potential new lead is captured, qualified by zip code, and booked directly into your service calendar without human intervention.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this replace my office manager?
No, it empowers them. The AI handles the 'grunt work' of scheduling and basic Q&A, allowing your manager to focus on complex billing issues and technician management.
Can it distinguish between 'Green to Clean' and routine maintenance?
Yes. We program specific logic branches so the AI identifies the severity of the pool condition and books the appropriate service duration and technician skill level.
How does it integrate with Skimmer?
We use API webhooks to create a 'Service Request' or 'Work Order' in Skimmer the moment the AI finishes the call, including all customer notes.
What happens if the AI doesn't know the answer?
If a customer asks a highly technical question or has a complex billing dispute, the AI will politely escalate the call to a live staff member or create a high-priority callback ticket.
Can it handle equipment warranty claims?
The AI can collect the necessary serial numbers and model info (e.g., Pentair or Jandy) and upload them to your CRM for your team to process the warranty claim.
Is there a contract for the monthly service?
We offer month-to-month service agreements because we are confident the ROI in saved labor and captured leads will speak for itself.
