A done-for-you crew for growing service businesses

The team you haven’t been able to hire yet.

You know there’s help out there. You just don’t have time to figure it out. Pick the roles your business needs — a receptionist, an assistant, follow-up, reviews — and we set them up in your tools, run them and report the results. You never configure a thing.

  • A real person behind every role
  • Data kept in Canada
  • Made in Hamilton, Ontario
The CrewCanoe owner app: today’s calls, jobs booked and three items waiting for the owner’s OK.

See it at work

This is what your crew looks like.

Real screens from the app your business gets. Example data.

Receptionist

Answers like your best front-desk person.

Day or night, it picks up, answers from your price list and books the job.

  • Emergencies go straight to whoever is on call
  • Says it’s an AI assistant if asked
  • Every call recorded with a notice
Example call: a customer with a noisy furnace is booked for Saturday at 9 a.m.

Approvals

Nothing goes out without your OK.

Drafts wait for you, with the reason it asked. Approve, edit or decline in one tap.

  • Start every role on “Ask me first”
  • Loosen it when you trust it
  • Undo for 15 minutes
Example approval: a drafted reply to a 2-star Google review, waiting for the owner.

Business brain

It only quotes prices you’ve approved.

Your services, prices, hours and tone in one place. Change a price once and every role uses it from the next call.

  • Spots the questions it can’t answer yet
  • Never guesses a price
Example price list with one service marked “Not set”.

Results

See every call, and what came of it.

Calls answered, jobs booked and time saved, for every role, with the full conversation one click away.

  • Monday results email
  • Monthly report against your numbers from before
Example Receptionist page: 112 calls answered, 23 jobs booked, recent calls with outcomes.

Works with what you already use.

How it works

Four steps. We do the heavy lifting.

You tell us what’s slipping. We do the setup, the testing and the running.

  1. Tell us where your week leaks time

    A short call and a few questions: missed calls, slow quotes, the inbox, reviews. We write down your numbers today so you can see the difference later.

  2. Pick your crew

    We recommend the roles that fix your biggest leaks. You choose — add, drop or swap any of them.

  3. We wire it in

    We connect your phone, calendar and inbox, teach each role your services, prices, hours and tone, and run test cases with you. Live in 5–10 business days.

  4. You approve, it works, you see results

    Your crew starts by asking before it acts. Every Monday you get a plain-English results email.

You choose how much each role does on its own.

Set it per role, change it any time. Every new role starts on Ask me first until you’ve seen enough to trust it.

  • AutopilotHandles the routine on its own and tells you what it did.
  • Ask me firstNew roles start hereDrafts the reply or booking, then waits for your OK.
  • Suggest onlyRecommends what to do. You or your team take it from there.

Results you can see

Every Monday, the numbers that matter.

No dashboards to dig through. A short email shows what your crew handled last week, what it brought in and what’s waiting for you. Once a month, a fuller report compares it with your numbers from before.
