What is the difference between serving your customers and automating?
Serving is talking to your customers: picking up the phone, answering WhatsApp, email or web chat, booking the appointment and confirming it the day before. That is Messages, Calls and Confirmations; and with
Connectors, your assistant serves them working with the software you already use. Automating is working for you and your team: back-office agents with scheduled tasks, reports and routines inside your ERP, CRM or other software. That is the
custom integration, which also connects software that is not yet a Connector.
I run a hair salon. What exactly will it cost me?
If your customers mostly write, 1,000 messages: €49 a month on WhatsApp, email and web chat. If they mostly call, Calls with 500 minutes: €99, with a phone number. With either, the appointment goes into the included calendar. To have each appointment confirmed by SMS the day before, Confirmations with 100 SMS: €14. If you already keep your diary in software — Google Calendar or Outlook, right away; Booksy, Koibox and others, on request — Connectors: €49 a month. Extra: €0.08 a message, €0.25 a minute and €0.14 an SMS; putting the call through to someone on your team, €0.25 a minute. Prices ex VAT.
I have a restaurant with a till system. How much does it cost to automate it?
A
custom integration: setup from €990 and €99 a month from when it works, ex VAT. You do not need Messages or Calls. When you create your account you tell us what it should do, and we send you the quote before the work starts. For example: the sales summary every Monday in your template, adding dishes or changing prices on the till by WhatsApp, and asking how takings are going.
How am I billed?
For the first month, you pay half when you sign up and the other half once your assistant is serving customers on the channels you have signed up for: at most 7 days after you finish signing up; the clock stops while we are waiting for something from you. Example with 1,000 messages: €24.50 when you sign up, €24.50 once it is serving customers and, after that, €49 a month. Ex VAT. No lock-in.
What if it is not right for me? Is there a free trial?
There is no free trial, but you do not pay it all until it is already working and, from that day, you have 14 days to ask for a 100% refund of your plan. If you cancel before it is up and running, we refund what you have paid for your plan. If 30 days go by and we still do not have what we need from you to get it running, we close the account and what you have paid is not refunded. The setup of a custom integration is not refundable.
I have several sites. How do I sign up?
With one sign-up per site: each one chooses its own packages, and Unlimited* is for a single site. If you would rather have a single installation for the whole group, on your own servers, that is
On-premise: quoted to measure after a diagnosis.
What if I go over my messages, minutes or SMS?
On 1,000 and 2,000 messages, on 500 and 800 minutes and on Confirmations, whatever you go over is charged at your next renewal: €0.08 a message, €0.25 a minute and €0.14 an SMS. If you often go over, change package. On Unlimited* you pay no extra messages or minutes; only, if you use it, putting the call through to someone on your team, at €0.25 a minute. Read the
asterisk note.
Can my team use it?
Yes. Each person signs in with their own user in your software, and Erik only does what that user is allowed to do. They write to him on WhatsApp, by email or on web chat; by phone, queries and changes. Reports and scheduled tasks, in writing. Everything is logged.
Is there a minimum term? Can I change plan?
No: you cancel whenever you like, and you change package, or add another, when your needs change.
I already have a phone line and my own number. Do I have to change them?
No. You divert your calls to the number that comes with Calls when you cannot take them, or always; whatever your operator charges for diverting is separate.
What if I want to automate something else later?
You ask for it from your account and we send you its quote before the work starts. Each job is quoted separately.
What do Connectors include?
For your assistant to work with the off-the-shelf software you already use (
a sample, by sector): it looks up what it needs there and records the appointment, booking or order in it. It is €49 a month with no limit on software: each program you connect is one Connector, however many accounts it has, and they are all included. Google Calendar and Outlook connect right away: the appointments it books show up in that calendar, and whatever is busy there is not offered. The rest, on request: we confirm availability before you sign up. If yours is not a Connector, it connects through a
custom integration. The included calendar needs none.
What if I use other software?
If it is a Connector (the
card shows a sample by sector; there are more), we connect it on request:
ask us and we confirm availability before you sign up. If not, it is connected with a
custom integration: setup from €990 and €99 a month from when it works. We connect software with an official interface or widely used in its sector; if yours is little known, we check it before quoting. If your diary is on paper, the appointment calendar is included. And if you need new software, the group builds it with the digital worker already inside.
Does this replace my team?
No: it takes the repetitive part off them. The phone out of hours, the messages at night and the hours spent typing data. Your team keeps the work that moves the business.
