Overflow call handling routes the calls your team can’t answer — because the lines are busy or staff are slammed — to a backup that picks up. Remi, Keres AI’s AI receptionist, answers the overflow in two rings, qualifies and books each caller, and texts back any call it could not take within 60 seconds, so a peak-season rush or a marketing spike is far less likely to end in voicemail.
What goes wrong without overflow call handling?
During busy seasons, ad campaigns, and emergencies, call volume spikes past what your front desk can absorb. Every call that rings out is a booked job handed to a competitor — exactly when demand is highest.
