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 are the requirements to use Cents Assist?

To comply with data protection requirements, your business must have an active website with a privacy policy posted.

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 with language-trained voices, and 24/7 availability. Assist places orders and pickup & delivery requests over the phone, SMS, and website, shares order status, and checks Laundroworks card balances. It also handles custom escalation, automatic store closure announcements, email notifications for every escalation event, full Cents and Laundroworks integration, voice customization, cross-location config copying, and comprehensive call reporting 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?

Choose between in-store transfers, offshore Cents Support, or bypassing transfers entirely with an email/text summary sent to the owner. Add a secondary fallback number for busy or unanswered lines, and opt into email notifications for every escalation event. You set the rules during setup.

What languages are supported?

Cents Assist serves customers in English, Spanish, and 10+ additional languages.

Can it handle multiple locations?

Yes, Cents Assist centralizes call handling across all your locations with location-specific configurations, and you can copy one location's full setup to every other store in a single action. If locations share similar names, Assist prompts callers to select their store by number pad when it can't identify the location automatically.

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.

How does Assist know about my machines and pricing?

Cents Assist pulls washer and dryer info directly from Business Manager via the Machines & Pricing tab in Location Settings - no manual entry needed, and pricing stays in sync automatically.
