From missed calls to maximized opportunities

"Before Cents Assist, we were missing calls simply because we needed to prioritize customers standing right in front of us. Since implementing the system, we've seen a direct impact on our bottom line. The system's 100% answer rate means we never miss an opportunity, and customers receive professionalized, consistent information."

Frequently Asked Questions

What does setup entail?

You'll tell us how you want your receptionist team to be set up, including flow customizations and its knowledge base. Then, we'll set you up with our in-house AI experts to ensure you're satisfied with Assist and you have all the best configurations for your business. This will all happen behind the scenes so your business can run as usual before going live.

What's included in the service?

You get unlimited AI-powered calls, multi-language support, 24/7 availability, order placement over phone, SMS, and website, share existing order status with customers, check Laundroworks card balances, custom escalation processes, complete integration with Cents and Laundroworks systems, and comprehensive call reporting, transcriptions, and analytics.

How does it integrate with my existing systems?

Cents Assist acts as the front line of your business with full integration into the rest of the Cents platform. Instead of calls and texts directly reaching your store, your AI receptionist team will filter out between 80% and 100% of inquiries before they reach your team, depending on your preferences. You'll have full visibility into all of these calls and messages and can monitor and tweak how the AI is responding. Assist has full context of your customers, orders, Laundroworks cards, and more that you already have within Cents—with no need for additional setup.

How does call escalation work?

You can choose between in-store transfers, offshore Cents Support team, or bypass call transfers entirely with email and text messages sent directly to the owner with call reason and summary. You determine escalation rules during setup.

What languages are supported?

Cents Assist serves customers in English, Spanish, and additional languages.

Can it handle multiple locations?

Yes, Cents Assist provides centralized call handling across all your locations with location-specific configurations.

How does it affect my order processing?

Your AI receptionist team can share existing order status, process new orders, and text order links when customers ask to place an order. For self-serve locations, pickup and delivery mentions can be turned off automatically.

What kind of ongoing support is provided?

You receive comprehensive training and continued support throughout usage.

What happens if the system goes down?

We have a 99.9% uptime track record; however, during any system outages, calls will be forwarded directly to your store.
