Idra
Skip to content
For plumbers and heating engineers

Never lose a jobbecause you couldn't answer the phone.

You're under a sink and the phone rings. Idra answers, takes the details and has you call back. If it's an emergency, it puts the call straight through to you.

The problem

A missed call is more than a missed call

Someone with a leaking pipe doesn't leave a voicemail. If you don't answer, they ring the next plumber and the job is theirs. You'll never know it happened.

  • The customer doesn't wait

    If you don't pick up on the first try, they call another number. They usually don't call back.

  • Every call is a job

    A call-out is typically worth between €150 and €600. Losing one a week is enough to feel it at the end of the month.

  • You can't always answer

    You're under a sink, driving, or your hands are dirty. The phone rings exactly then.

How it works

You work. Idra answers.

No voicemail, no call centre. Idra answers for you, takes the details and sends them to you. Then you call back, when you can.

  1. A customer calls and you can't pick up

    Your hands are busy, you're driving or it's late. Idra answers with your company's name and says straight away that it's an automated assistant.

  2. It takes the details and understands the problem

    It asks for name, phone, address, what's going on and how urgent it is. One question at a time, the way someone in your office would.

  3. It all lands on Telegram and you call back

    A summary with who called, what the problem is and what the job is worth in euros, estimated. One tap to call back.

Emergencies

If it's an emergency, the call comes to you.

Idra doesn't treat every call the same. When damage is happening right now it doesn't take notes: it hands you the customer.

  • What counts as an emergency

    Water flooding, a smell of gas, a boiler down in winter with elderly people or children at home. Everything else is a normal job and waits for your call back.

  • What happens

    Idra transfers the call to your mobile immediately. If you don't pick up, it promises the customer a call back within minutes and flags it to you in red.

  • What it never does

    It never books an emergency on its own. You decide whether to go, when and at what price: Idra brings you the customer, it doesn't make commitments for you.

What Idra actually does

Answers every call

It introduces itself with your company name and speaks Italian. No call goes unanswered, even when you're on a job.

Understands urgency

A flooding leak, a smell of gas or a boiler out in winter: Idra recognises it and puts the call straight through to you. A dripping tap can wait.

Takes the details and has you call back

Name, address, phone number and the problem. Then it tells the customer you'll call them back. If you prefer, you can turn on direct booking on your calendar.

Notifies you on Telegram with the job's value

For every call you get a message: who called, what they need and an estimate in euros of what the job is worth.

What it's worth to you

Run the numbers

Enter your own figures and see how much you could recover each month against what Idra costs. These are estimates based on the numbers you enter, not a promise.

The starting values are just a starting point: replace them with your real numbers.

30 calls

All inbound calls, answered or not.

€250

What you earn on average for one job.

25%

The share of calls nobody answers: you're on a job, driving, it's evening.

50%

How many of those turn into jobs if someone answers — your assumption.

Estimated difference per month

€3,935/month

1 job a month is enough to pay for Idra.

How we calculate it: 30 calls × 4.33 weeks × 25% missed = 32.5 missed calls per month; × 50% that become jobs = 16.2 jobs; × €250 per job = €4,059 per month. Minus €124 for Idra = €3,935.

This is an estimate: it depends on how many calls you really miss and what your jobs are worth. No result is guaranteed.

FAQ

What plumbers ask us

Answers to the questions we hear most often.

Does it answer in Italian?

Yes. Idra speaks Italian, introduces itself with your company name and understands people who explain the problem in a muddled way or with some dialect.
