The cost of a missed call

Every unanswered call is a job someone else gets.

When you're on the tools, with a patient or in a meeting, the phone keeps ringing. Most callers won't leave a message. They ring the next business on the list.

Work you could be losing each month

$4,330

That's roughly 17 bookings a month going to voicemail, or to a competitor.

About $51,960 a year.

What it handles

Everything a front desk does on the phone.

The calls that interrupt your day, handled the way your best receptionist would, and written down so nothing slips through.

Bookings that never clash

Checks your live calendar before offering a time, books it, and lets customers move or cancel their own appointments.

Never double-books. Busy times in Google are respected automatically.

Messages to the right person

Takes the caller's name, number and reason, then sends it straight to whoever it's for.

Urgent messages are clearly marked, so they get seen first.

Enquiries, fully qualified

Asks your questions one at a time, like job address, urgency or party size, and hands you a complete lead.

Your questions, your order. Required ones are always asked.

Transfers to your team

When a caller needs a person, it puts them through to the right team member during opening hours.

After hours, it takes a message instead of ringing your mobile.

Scam and fraud protection

Won't share customer details or change bank details, whoever claims to be calling, and flags the attempt.

You're alerted with the caller's number and what they tried.

Summaries of every call

A short summary and full transcript of each call, so nothing gets lost between the phone and your team.

Follow-ups are created automatically when a caller needs one.
The Ringfence console

Everything lands in one place.

See your week, every call and everything waiting on you, on your laptop or phone.

  • A calendar showing AI bookings, your own, blocked time and busy times from Google
  • Every call with its outcome, summary and transcript
  • One inbox for messages, enquiries and security alerts

How Ringfence uses Google Calendar

When a business connects its Google Calendar, Ringfence checks when the business is busy so the AI never offers a time that's taken. It also adds, moves or removes the appointments booked through Ringfence. That is the only thing the access is used for.

Ringfence doesn't sell calendar data, use it for advertising, or use it to train AI. A business can disconnect at any time from its console or its Google Account. Details are in our Privacy Policy.

Questions

What owners ask us.

Will callers know they're talking to an AI?

Yes. It says so at the start of every call. Most callers don't mind at all, because it answers straight away, sounds natural and gets things done.

Can I keep my current phone number?

Yes. You forward calls from your existing number to Ringfence. Forward everything, only after hours, or only when your line is busy.

What happens when it can't help?

It takes a detailed message for the right person, or transfers the call to a team member during opening hours. It won't make things up.

Does it work with my calendar?

It works with Google Calendar today, both ways. It also has its own built-in calendar if you don't use Google. Outlook support is on the way.

Does it sound Australian?

Yes. You choose from natural Australian voices, and it understands Australian accents, suburbs and the way people actually talk.

How is it different from voicemail?

Voicemail makes callers wait, and many hang up. Ringfence has the conversation, books the job or takes the details, and you see the result straight away.

What kinds of businesses is it for?

Any business that takes calls: trades, clinics, accountants, law firms, real estate, restaurants, salons, vets and more. It's set up for your services and rules.

How much does it cost?

Plans depend on how many calls you get and what you'd like it to handle. Book a setup call and we'll give you a clear monthly price before anything goes live.
