Core Module • Call-In Line

    A service line that puts callers through to your on-call tech

    Every missed call is a job that goes to the next contractor on the list. The Eclipse Call-In Line gives your business its own toll-free number that answers 24/7, recognizes existing customers, and connects callers to the right on-call technician, so emergencies reach your team at 2 a.m. instead of going to voicemail. Every call is logged against the customer's account with who took it, when, and for how long.

    Step by Step

    How a call works

    1. 1

      The customer dials your number.

      They hear your company's greeting, recorded by you or typed and read in a natural voice.

    2. 2

      Eclipse recognizes the caller.

      If the number matches a phone number saved on a customer, property manager or commercial account, the caller confirms with one key press. Commercial accounts can also use an access code that tells Eclipse which site or department to bill.

    3. 3

      The caller picks the trade.

      Keys 1–9 map to the services you set up, for example 1 for no heat or no cooling, 2 for plumbing leaks, 3 for electrical. Key 0 goes to your office or dispatcher.

    4. 4

      Eclipse finds the on-call tech.

      The call goes to technicians qualified for that service, starting with the account's preferred techs. The caller hears hold music while a tech accepts.

    5. 5

      The tech connects with the account on screen.

      A short script you write (with the tech's name and ID filled in) keeps greetings consistent, and the tech completes your intake questions during the call: address, equipment, symptoms, photos to follow.

    6. 6

      Every call is recorded as a session.

      Timing starts when the tech connects and stops when the call ends. If you enable it, callers rate the call from 1 to 5 afterwards.

    Features

    Built for real dispatch

    Dispatcher answers with context.

    Calls routed to your office ring in the Eclipse portal, and the dispatcher sees the customer's account and service history before picking up.

    No dead ends.

    If nobody in the office answers, the call forwards to your main number and a callback task is logged.

    Three-way calls.

    Once the intake is done, the tech can dial out to bring in the property manager, the homeowner, or a senior tech.

    Handoffs.

    A tech can hand the caller to a colleague or bring in a second tech without the customer hanging up.

    Recording on your terms.

    Call recording follows the settings you choose.

    Real-World Scenarios

    Ways contractors use the Call-In Line

    After-hours emergency line

    HVAC, Plumbing, Electrical, Restoration

    No-heat and burst-pipe calls reach the on-call tech, who triages on the phone and, when a truck is needed, your dispatcher books the visit on the same customer account.

    Paid phone troubleshooting

    Appliance Repair, HVAC, Pool Service

    Walk a customer through a reset or a breaker check and record the call as a billable session instead of a free favor.

    Commercial accounts and property managers

    Facilities, Fire & Security, Cleaning

    Each building or portfolio gets its own access code, so every call is tied to the right site, PO and billing rules.

    Storm and seasonal surges

    Roofing, Tree Service, Snow Removal

    One number absorbs the surge, routes each caller to the right crew lead, and logs every request.
