Sentry Desk asks
“Does this need someone out tonight, or are you okay with a call back when the shop opens?”
NEXT-DAY CALLBACK
Booked, held, and texted without waking the roster.
EMERGENCY ROUTE
Rate card accepted, then on-call or backup escalation.
SAFETY HOLD
Gas, fire, injury, or severe flood means 911 first.
The Sentry Desk difference
A night desk with judgment, not just a voicemail.
Sentry Desk responds in your shop's name, gathers the details that make a callback useful, and separates tomorrow's work from tonight's danger.
“It can wait” should create a clean morning — not a 2 AM interruption.
Every missed call becomes a job card.
Name, phone, address, issue, service zip, and intent arrive in one calm inbox.
Only real emergencies ring the roster.
Your hours, assigned tech, backup, forwarding toggle, and rate card stay in your hands.
The homeowner gets the next step.
SMS follow-up, calendar holds, email alerts, and review asks keep the handoff moving.
The owner sees what was caught.
A weekly jobs-caught report shows the after-hours demand you used to miss.
One clear handoff
The night call gets a next move.
Capture the call
Sentry Desk answers in your shop’s voice and collects who, where, what, and how urgent.
Sort the route
Next-day work becomes a callback job card. Genuine emergencies follow your rules and rates.
Close the loop
The homeowner gets an SMS. Your inbox, calendar, and on-call roster get the right signal.
Pricing that stays legible
One plan. Your rates. No mystery tiers.
Start with the night desk, then add the implementation kit only if your shop wants a guided first route.
Safety is a hard stop.
For gas, fire, injury, or severe flooding, Sentry Desk tells the homeowner to call 911 first. It never gives unsafe trade advice.
