How it works for a home service company

Six moments that keep the trucks busy

Each message goes out by text and/or email, whichever your customers prefer, and every reply lands in one inbox.

The day before Appointment reminders

Fewer wasted trips

Customers confirm or reschedule with one reply, so your techs don’t drive to empty houses.

On the way Conversations

“We’re on our way”

Send a heads-up from the customer’s profile, and replies come back to the same thread.

Questions home service companies ask

Do customers need to download an app?

No. Messages arrive by text and/or email. Customers can also log in to your page at thanku.deals with a one-time code to see their appointments and messages. There’s no app and no password.

Can our techs send messages from the field?

Yes. Anyone with a staff login can send and answer messages from a phone, and every message is saved with the customer.

Does it work with our scheduling software?

You don’t have to switch. Upload tomorrow’s jobs from a spreadsheet, or add them by hand.

What does texting cost?

Growth and Pro include 1,000 texts a month for each location (500 during the free trial); more are 2¢ each. Starter doesn’t include texting. A text longer than 160 characters counts as 2 or more, the way phone carriers bill it. Email is included in every plan.
