BILINGUAL ON EVERY CALL

Your foreman shouldn't be answering bid requests.

Every call your project manager takes on a Tuesday morning is fifteen minutes off the job site. And every missed call from a homeowner getting bids is a project your competitor wins by default.

Swiftlee captures complete bid intake โ€” project type, scope, address, timeline, budget range โ€” so your estimator can quote without ever picking up the phone first.

of homeowners contact the first contractor who actually picks up the phone.

How we handle your calls

Built for the calls your foreman doesn't want to take.

We capture full bid intake. We route homeowners by project type. We follow your service area rules. We never commit to pricing โ€” that stays with your estimator.

Emergency repair routing

Storm damage, water intrusion, structural emergencies. Routed to your emergency line with full call recording for insurance documentation.

Subcontractor coordination

Sub callbacks, schedule changes, material delivery confirmations โ€” handled with light scripts so your PM's phone stops ringing.

From the trades

Contractors, in their own words.

Frank P.General Contractor, Denver CO

โ€œOur bid response time went from days to under an hour. Our close rate on residential remodels doubled. I should have done this two years ago.โ€

Diego M.Roofing, Houston TX

โ€œStorm season used to be a nightmare. With Swiftlee, every claim call gets captured with insurance-ready documentation. Game changer.โ€

Anna B.Kitchen & Bath, Seattle WA

โ€œI was the bottleneck โ€” every call came to me. Swiftlee gave me my mornings back without dropping a single lead.โ€
