A receptionist for Waikanae, without the payroll.
Waikanae runs on small, well-known local businesses — trades, clinics, cafés, retail on Elizabeth Street and services working out of home offices and Waikanae Beach. Most are too small for a receptionist and too busy to answer every call.
H3llo's AI receptionist answers when your team can't. It greets callers with your business name, answers the routine questions, takes bookings and job details, and only interrupts you when a call genuinely needs a person.
Because we're 10 minutes down the road in Paraparaumu Beach, setup and support happen locally — not through an overseas call centre.
- Enquiries captured while you're with a customer or driving between Waikanae and Paraparaumu.
- Weekend and evening callers looked after instead of hitting voicemail.
- Quotes, bookings and maintenance requests logged into your CRM automatically.
- Urgent calls escalated by SMS to whoever is on call that night.
