Ace, the it services receptionist
IT Services

Meet Ace, your it services receptionist.

Ace answers the number you forward, takes the caller's name, number and what they need — in the words an IT services provider actually uses — and writes one sentence on the record. From $49 a month, on the full EngageSuite360 CRM shaped for it services.

How Ace answers
Ace saysThanks for calling your business, this is Ace. I'll take your name, number and a note for the team.

Then Ace listens. Short sentences, one question at a time, the number read back once, and what happens next: you call back.

What callers usually need

Ace sorts every call into the words your trade uses

That word is in the sentence Ace writes, so your callback list reads like a it services desk, not a voicemail box.

Why every call matters in it services

The call you miss is the one that goes elsewhere

A client whose systems are down calls once, and if it rings out they call the next provider on the list. Ace answers that call, every time, and you decide what happens next.

The CRM, in it services words

Callers become contacts, and work becomes contracts

The record

What is on the CRM after a call

One sentence, on the contactJeff called from (727) 555-1212 — outage or urgent, wants a call back this afternoon.

The caller becomes a contact, the company is matched from the number, and the sentence is emailed to you. No recording, no transcript on the Starter plans — that is the AI Front Desk plan, one rung up, same number, same CRM.

Annual billing is two months free, and the 7-day trial takes real calls and charges nothing until day 8.

Contacts, with contracts moving through Discovery, Assessment Scheduled, Proposal Sent, SOW Signed, Onboarding, Active Support. The EngageSuite360 CRM in every plan is set up for it services, with tickets and assets as records of their own.

A client whose systems are down calls once, and if it rings out they call the next provider on the list. Ace answers every call you forward, so that caller reaches someone.
