The problem

‘When will you be here?’ × 40 times a day.

The phone rings. Someone asks for an ETA. You put down a washer pump, look up the job, call back, move on — five minutes gone. Do it eight times and the whole afternoon is spoken for.

Customers aren't pestering you. They're anxious. They took the day off work, or they're trying to plan the afternoon, or they're worried they missed the truck. A three-second text beats a three-minute phone call every time.

Krewnest fires the right text at the right moment, from your shop's name. The customer knows what's going on. The phone stops ringing. And when you do need to talk, the whole thread is right there on the job.

How it works

Three moments, three texts.

The texts are tied to real events on the ticket — not a timer. When the status actually changes, the message actually goes out.

I
Step 01

Booking confirmed

When a customer books, Krewnest texts a confirmation — time window, tech name, what to expect, and a link to the ticket.

II
Step 02

On the way

When the tech starts driving, the customer gets a one-line text with ETA. No more confused calls asking where the truck is.

Step 03

Invoice paid

After signoff, the customer gets a receipt text and a link to the itemized invoice. The thread closes cleanly.

What goes out

Six message types. Zero typing.

Templated, branded with your shop name, fired from job events. Every message lands on the same thread attached to the ticket.

Message 01
Booking confirmation

Time window, tech name, what to expect.

Message 02
Day-before reminder

Courtesy ping the night before the visit.

Message 03
On the way

ETA as the tech starts driving.

Message 04
At the door

Quiet ping when the truck pulls up.

Message 05
Invoice paid

Receipt and itemized invoice link at signoff.

Message 06
Two-way replies

Customer replies land on the job thread.

Why it matters

Less ringing, more fixing.

Every text Krewnest sends is a call you didn't have to take. Cumulatively, that's an hour a day back on the truck — and a customer who feels looked after without you lifting a finger.

Fewer no-shows.

A reminder the day before and a heads-up the morning of cut no-shows by double digits. The customer is expecting the knock.

Fewer inbound calls.

Most calls are status calls — when will they be here, is this fixed, did my card go through. Automated texts answer all three before the customer dials.

One thread per job.

Every message for one ticket sits on the same job record — the booking confirmation, the on-the-way, the tech's follow-up, the invoice. No stray threads to lose.

Two-way when you need it.

When the tech needs to ask a question — “gate code?” — they reply right from the job. The thread stays attached for the next time.

From the field

My phone stopped ringing. The customers say we're the most organized shop they've ever used — and I barely type a word.
