Turn Missed Calls Into Booked Jobs
You're on a job. The phone rings. By the time you check voicemail, that homeowner has already called the next contractor on Google — and booked them.
That's the cost of silence, and it's bigger than most owners realize:
An AI receptionist for contractors works as a digital front door: it answers when you can't, qualifies the caller, and fires a text back before the homeowner moves on. No hold music, no voicemail, no hoping they call again tomorrow.
Janus isn't just a feature checklist. It's a fix for how the business runs — no missed calls, no lost inquiries, no slow follow-up, no guessing which lead is worth driving to. It serves as a front-end automation layer that catches, captures, and scores every lead before sending it to your system, running alongside the field software you already use rather than replacing it. Your dispatch stays where it is. The leaks are closed.
One Platform, Designed For What Comes Next
Janus provides an all-in-one toolkit designed to help you grow.
The Digital Front Door
Most contractor websites funnel everything into one generic "Contact Us" box, and someone on your team has to sort out what actually came in before anyone can act on it. Whether you're quoting jobs, driving out to a customer, or bringing people into your own place of business, every one of those inquiries needs somewhere to land. Janus gives you a branded intake system that sorts each one the moment it arrives — a sales lead, a service call, a job application, a general request — and sends it straight to whoever should be working it.
Smart Scheduling & Calendar
Send a customer a booking link and they pick a real open slot off your team’s availability — no phone tag, no "let me check and call you back." Two people can't grab the same time slot: the booking is locked at the moment it's made, so a scheduling conflict simply can't happen, whether it's your team booking it or the customer booking it themselves. It's the dispatch scheduling app piece of Janus that keeps your calendar clean without anyone babysitting it.
Lead-to-Revenue Attribution
Every lead that comes through a Janus front door carries where it came from — the ad, the search term, the campaign — all the way to a paid job. That's what makes Janus a marketing agency client ROI tracker, not just another lead form. Built for those who care about your financial health and marketing agencies alike: understand which referral channels and ad campaigns are working. At budget time, you're not guessing your way through it. You're reading off a report.
Texting & Photo Dispatch
A call that goes to voicemail is a job that's now up for grabs. Janus's missed-call text-back software answers automatically, so the customer hears back in seconds instead of trying the next name on the list.
And when your sales rep or tech is on the way, Janus can send a text with their photo attached and a short bio, so the homeowner knows exactly who's pulling into the driveway before they ever knock — creating trust from the very start.
Smart Lead Scoring: Prioritize Inbound Calls Instantly
Not every call is worth the same. A burst pipe at 11 p.m. and a "just curious about pricing" inquiry both ring the same way — until something sorts them.
Urgency detection. Words like flood, no heat, or gas smell signal a job that pays today and can't wait until Monday. Those calls get flagged for immediate human escalation so a real person picks up the emergency while routine requests queue behind it. An AI receptionist for plumbers earns its keep on exactly these calls.
Multilingual capture. Spanish-speaking homeowners often hang up on English-only voicemail and call someone else. Answering in their language captures a market segment most small shops write off, and you don't add payroll to do it.
Automated Hot/Warm/Cold scoring. Janus scores Sales and Service leads automatically, separating tire kickers from homeowners ready to approve work. Heating and cooling leads with a dead furnace in January land at the top of your board; price-shoppers sit lower until you have time.
That scoring is the backbone of lead tracking for contractors — a mobile-first pipeline that shows you, from the truck, which job to chase first.
Built For Three Kinds of Users
Small Teams & Solo Operators
Your First Real System
If you quote jobs, drive out to see prospects and customers, or have them come to you, you need a way to control how those inquiries come in. Janus gives you a professional, branded intake system.
Set it up from your phone, run it from your phone. No IT department required.
Larger Shops
Room for the Whole Crew
More than one truck? Every tech gets their own login and their own board — field staff see leads and customers, revenue and reporting stay with you and your admins.
Running more than one location? Roll leads, revenue, and attribution up across all of them in one view, and plug Janus into the stack you already run with an open API.
Marketing Agencies
The Missing Front Door
Managing lead flow and reporting for multiple local service clients usually means logging into five different tools and stitching the numbers together yourself.
Janus gives you one secure, multi-tenant workspace instead — every client's leads, notifications, and conversion data, under one master login, so you can move between accounts without ever touching a second password.
Everything You Need to Grow
Access the tools you need for the next era of business.
Not every call is worth the same. A burst pipe at 8:57 p.m. and a "just curious about pricing" inquiry both ring the same way — until something sorts them.

No Contract, No Catch
Cancel Anytime — Right From Your Account
You shouldn't need to make a phone call to stop paying for something. Cancel anytime, right inside your account settings, and take a full export of your data with you. No retention pitch, no "let me transfer you," no fine print that says otherwise.
Your Digital Front Door. Four automated pathways.
Stop using generic website forms to capture information. Janus greets your visitors with smart, channel-aware branded workflows that instantly route every inquiry exactly where it needs to go.
Pillar 1 · Sales & Lead Generation
Capture new business
The second a prospect needs a quote, Janus captures their project scope, links their tracking source, and fires an instant automated text-back to lock down the lead before they call a competitor.
Close more business with automation.
Pillar 2 · Support & Service Requests
Triage emergency dispatches
Give your existing customers a dedicated lane to report system breakdowns or request a technician. Janus collects service requests context upfront so your service team and dispatchers can quote and route with precision.
Turn chaotic, frantic calls into organized ticket flows.
Pillar 3 · Hiring & Recruitment
Grow your team
Turn your website into a hiring channel for licensed pros and team members. Job seekers apply straight from their phone. All your applicants managed in one dashboard.
Built-in 1-year compliance retention matching federal EEOC recordkeeping guidelines.
Pillar 4 · General Submissions & Inquiries
Centralize the questions that aren't a sale
A dedicated lane for the traffic that isn't a quote request or a service call — general questions, referral check-ins, anything else that used to sit in a shared inbox. Every submission is tracked so nothing gets lost waiting for someone to notice it.
Eliminate the inbox nobody's actually watching.
