Signpost

Signpost is an AI-powered customer communication platform designed specifically for small and local service businesses such as HVAC contractors, plumbers, electricians, roofers, and general contractors. It combines AI voice and SMS receptionist capabilities with live human receptionists to ensure every call, text, and lead from channels like Angi, Thumbtack, Facebook, and direct text is answered instantly — 24/7.

The platform offers a unified inbox that consolidates all calls, texts, and messages in one place, along with CRM and scheduling integrations that allow jobs to be booked directly into a business's existing system. Custom call flows, emergency routing rules, and AI trained to reflect each business's voice ensure a branded, professional experience for every customer interaction.

Signpost's key value proposition is helping service pros reclaim their time by eliminating missed calls, dropped leads, and after-hours interruptions. With over one million appointments managed and claims of sub-5-second response times, the platform positions itself as a complete customer coverage solution — more than a traditional answering service and more than a standalone AI tool.
