The problem it solves

You're already juggling driving, parking, and getting to the next job, so calling ahead slips your mind. A missed heads-up can make you look unreliable even when you're right on schedule.

Who it fits

Field service businesses, contractors, or delivery drivers who need to give customers a heads-up before arriving.

How it works

  1. You tap a shortcut on your phone as you head out the door
  2. The system reads which action you selected
  3. It sends a text message through Twilio to the number you choose
  4. Your customer gets an instant heads-up that you're on the way
What you get

Customers who know you're on the way

Tap a shortcut on your phone as you head out and your customer gets an instant text letting them know you're on your way.

What you get

A text message sent to any phone number the moment you trigger it.

What you need

An iPhone with the Pushcut app and a Twilio account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
