Action through technology

Understand service demand before it reaches the field.

Every Customer Direct program includes Happitu, our proprietary AI platform for conversation intelligence and Auto-QA. Configured around your service operation, it surfaces job demand, booking friction, lead-source quality, seasonal patterns, and coaching opportunities. These insights go beyond what even the best-trained agents can report on their own.

Service request and lead trends

Classify service request, urgency, and lead-source trends to see what demand is coming in and from where.

Urgency and dispatch patterns

Connect booking outcomes, dispatch patterns, and seasonal spikes to the workflows and service areas responsible for them.

Booking outcomes

Auto-QA evaluates every eligible call against booking and brand standards. Customer Direct uses the results to identify gaps, coach agents, and track improvement.
