Time to value

Quick Setup (< 1 hour)

You can use Cactus to answer every inbound customer call and schedule jobs 24/7 in English and Spanish. Designed specifically for home service businesses like HVAC, plumbing, and roofing contractors, the voice agent captures lead details, blocks spam calls, and writes bookings directly into your CRM. It also responds to incoming online leads in under a minute, sends automated appointment reminders, follows up on pending estimates, and reactivates dormant past customers to recover lost revenue without having to hire additional front-desk staff.
