Built around your shop — not bolted on

By the time they hang up, the hail crease removals is quoted, booked, and on the tech's phone.

Not an AI receptionist bolted onto someone else's software. DispatchNode prices from your paintless dent repair catalog and rules, books the job on the board, collects Stripe, and the tech sees it on their phone.

Anatomy of a Lost Job

7:15 PM - Urgent Call

A car owner calls about hail damage across every body panel after a storm.

7:00 AM – No Answer

"Please leave a message or press 1 for..."

7:18 PM - Lead Hangs Up

Searches Google, hires a competitor who answers.

Bottom Line

-$2,800

Estimated Opportunity Lost

The Old Way:
Losing Repairs to Voicemail.

A sudden hailstorm triggers 300 phone calls in 4 hours. A solo technician answering calls manually captures 40 leads. The other 260 callers—representing $52,000 in potential repair revenue—dial the next PDR company on the list.

Writing insurance supplement documentation takes 2 hours per vehicle. If the technician fails to photograph and measure all 80 dents on a sedan roof to the exact millimeter, the adjuster approves payment for only 30 dents—leaving $1,500 on the table per car.

A homeowner describes a 'small dent' on the phone. The technician drives 25 minutes to find cracked paint down to bare metal on the fender. PDR is physically impossible on cracked paint—the trip burns an hour of labor and $8 in fuel for zero revenue.

Paintless Dent Repair — why missed calls hurt

Market reality

Golf-ball-sized hail hammers a suburban neighborhood at 4 PM on a Tuesday. By 5 PM, 150 homeowners are staring at dimpled hoods and cracked windshields. The PDR company that answers all 150 calls, captures insurance claim numbers, and clusters driveway appointments by street address books $375,000 in hail work. The company that lets 100 calls hit voicemail watches competitors wrap up the neighborhood.

How Nectar wins the job

Golf-ball-sized hail hammers a subdivision at 4 PM. By 5 PM, the AI agent has captured 150 inbound leads, answering every call on the first ring. It asks each caller whether the paint is cracked or intact and collects their insurance claim number. The routing engine automatically clusters assessments by street address, routing the technician to 15 driveways in one subdivision on Tuesday. For a mid-size sedan with 60 roof dents, the system generates an itemized $2,800 estimate matrix—mapping every dent by size (dime, nickel, quarter) and panel location. It submits the timestamped photos to the insurance adjuster's email and locks the repair date. The technician massages out all 60 dents in 4 hours using precision metal rods, preserving the factory paint.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the system handle a 300-call hailstorm surge without dropping leads?

The AI agent scales to answer every simultaneous inbound call on the first ring. It captures the vehicle VIN, insurance claim number, and a cracked-vs-intact paint assessment for each caller. The routing engine clusters all confirmed appointments by street address and zip code, building dense neighborhood routes so the technician processes 8-10 vehicles per day without crossing town.
