Scam calls flood the trade and most owners screen aggressively. A real lockout call from a real renter goes to voicemail and the renter assumes you're closed. They scroll to the next name.

When the phone rings and you can't

You're on an auto lockout in a mall parking lot and the desk phone goes to voicemail.

What Avidra does

Avidra is a text-back system that runs the second you miss a call. The caller gets a real reply, not a voicemail loop. You get a structured lead with the basics filled in.

The text doesn't replace the human conversation. It buys time for it. You still call back. You still close the job. Avidra just makes sure the lead is warm and the basics about the callers are in your inbox before you do.

How Avidra answers your missed calls

Step 1 · Missed call detected
Any unanswered call to your business number triggers an instant SMS to the caller. No setup per call, no manual approval.
Step 2 · SMS qualifier
The caller gets a friendly text from your business line asking what's needed to dispatch.
Step 3 · Job summary to your phone
The qualifying answers land in your inbox as a clean lead summary. No app to open. No dashboard to check.
Step 4 · You decide when to call back
The caller doesn't get ghosted while you finish what you're on. Avidra keeps the conversation alive until you're ready.

How you wire it up

Avidra runs two ways. Keep your existing business number and forward to Avidra only when you can't pick up. The caller reaches you first. The AI handles the miss. Or use the Avidra number directly and let AI pick up every call, transferring to you when the caller asks. Most shops start with the first setup. The second works better once you've grown past one person on the phone.

The Free tier includes both AI voice answering and SMS text-back, so the pickup-mode choice doesn't cost extra.

What Avidra does and doesn't

Avidra answers calls live with AI voice, or texts missed callers back if you'd rather. It runs your intake script. It captures jobs and relays messages to your customers when you ask. What it doesn't do: write your invoices, schedule your techs, replace your dispatcher, or pull customer history from your CRM.

It never quotes a lockout price. It doesn't verify ID. It doesn't dispatch a tech. The text captures location and lock type. Everything else happens on your callback.

Run the shop from the road

Text the Avidra number from a job site. 'Tell Mike I'll be there in 10' and the AI sends Mike an SMS as your shop. Same for 'how many leads today' or 'call Sarah Linton back at 4.' Avidra picks up the phone for your customers. It also picks up for you.

Calls locksmiths in Prince George actually take

Here's what your line catches on a normal week. Transponder key program for a 2015 Honda. Rekey after a tenant move-out. Deadbolt install on a new exterior door. Smart lock install for a short-term rental. Pick up first and you book the job. Pick up second and you don't.

Off-hours calls run differently. Tighter, more urgent, less willing to wait until morning. Commercial lockout before opening shift. Post-break-in rekey before the homeowner leaves the property. The shop that picks up fast keeps the work.

What the year looks like

Lockouts spike in summer (slammed-door season) and after long weekends. Rekey work is steady year-round with a small bump in moving season May through August.

For most locksmiths, the call volume isn't flat. You probably already plan staffing and on-call coverage around the peaks. Avidra runs the same in busy season as in slow. No per-call charges, no surge pricing when the inbox gets loud.

Setup is short

Setup is a 10-digit phone number and a short script. You forward your missed calls to the Avidra number that gets assigned at signup. You edit the default intake script to match how you talk to a new lead. That's the whole setup.

Most owners run their first real test inside an hour of signing up. The honest test is to miss a call on purpose from a friend's phone and watch what happens. The text fires. The follow-up questions land. You see the lead summary on your phone.

The five-second window

Speed is the whole game. A caller who got voicemail and then got a confirmation email twenty minutes later has already booked the next number on the list. A text-back inside five seconds reads as a real reply. The caller responds while they're still mentally on the call. The human callback then lands into a warm conversation, not a cold one.

Common questions

Will it route a smart-lock install request?

Yes. Smart-lock install requests capture the model and the existing door hardware.

What about rekey requests?

Rekey intake captures the number of doors, lock types, and the reason for the rekey.

Can it filter out scam calls?

Scam callers usually don't reply to the text. Avidra captures only callers who responded with real intake answers.

Can it differentiate residential, commercial, and auto lockouts?

Yes. The first question branches the intake based on lockout type.

Will it quote a lockout price?

No. Avidra is configured to never quote a price for lockouts. Pricing happens on your callback.
