How it works
We start with how you run your shop: your services, hours, boundaries, and when you want a call escalated.
When calls reach your Northwoods line, the assistant identifies itself as AI and helps gather what the caller needs.
Name, callback number, service location, the problem, and urgency—organized for the next step.
Urgent situations and questions it cannot answer follow your approved escalation process. It says when it does not know.
Scheduling is configured around your availability and booking rules. A conversation alone is never a confirmed appointment.
Call summaries give you the details needed to follow up. We agree on notification channels and test them during setup.
SET UP. CUSTOMIZED. MANAGED.
Northwoods handles setup and ongoing management. You define how your customers should be treated.
We capture services, service area, scheduling boundaries, emergencies, and when a person needs to step in.
We configure your answering system, connect the agreed workflows, and review representative calls with you.
As your hours, services, or team change, Northwoods helps maintain the system and its rules.
Additional automation is scoped separately. We agree on what is included before setup.
