A familiar moment

The front step that now changes every journey

You are setting out a ramp elsewhere when a family member rings about two steps at a bungalow entrance. They know a wheelchair needs easier access but do not know what form the work should take. Ziverly can gather the entrance involved, the property type, available approach, people taking part in the decision and preferred contact time without judging gradients, suitability or permission requirements.

The useful handover

Enough context to respond properly.

The aim is to welcome the caller, gather the details you decide matter and keep the same enquiry easy to follow until the work is resolved.

  • Who is calling and how to reach them.
  • What they need help with and where.
  • What should happen next, without inventing a response time.

Where the pressure tends to gather

Make space for the work without leaving the caller in the dark.

Think about the calls that interrupt you most often. Ziverly can follow the questions and boundaries you choose, then leave the details ready for your judgement.

The caller may be dealing with a sudden change

A hospital discharge, new wheelchair or loss of confidence can make the enquiry urgent to the family even though the right answer still needs a careful assessment.

The approach matters as much as the doorway

Levels, turning space, drainage, boundaries and everyday use can all affect the work you eventually recommend.

Installation work needs both hands

Cutting, fixing and checking a safe route are poor moments to balance a detailed new enquiry on the phone.

What a better handover can change

Less interruption now, a clearer thread afterwards.

A thoughtful first conversation

Let the household describe what is difficult and which entrance they use without making them feel rushed into a specification.

Useful context before an assessment

Review the property, approach, access and people involved before deciding what your next conversation should cover.

A consistent answer for the family

Add an approved update about an assessment, information still needed or the next contact so a returning caller receives the right context.

Hope, The Encourager

For someone looking for wheelchair-ramp installation, a warm acknowledgement can reassure them that their enquiry has been heard, even when you cannot answer immediately.

Before, during and after the call

From first ring to finished follow-up.

Ziverly can do more than take a message. You stay in control of when it answers, how you hear about each call and what context is available if the customer rings again.

  1. You decide which calls reach Ziverly.

    Use the call-diversion options supported by your mobile or landline service, such as no reply, unreachable, busy or rejected. Turn them off again whenever you want to answer normally, or use cover for evenings, weekends, holidays and unexpected time away.

  2. Your call details meet you where you are.

    Choose email or SMS alerts where enabled, then open Ziverly to review the summary, transcript, recording where available, status and priority.

    Review the entrance, access difficulty, property type, people involved and preferred time to talk in the app or your configured email or SMS alert.

  3. The next conversation starts further forwards.

    Add an AI-facing note when you want Ziverly to have more context if the same known caller rings again. Separate private notes stay private.

    Add an approved note about an assessment, a measurement still required or who will make the next contact, so Ziverly can use that context if the family rings again.

  4. Open calls do not have to rely on memory.

    Choose a daily or weekly email summary of calls still waiting for attention, at the time that best fits your working day.

  5. You can check in by phone, too.

    With Owner Voice Access enabled, call your own Ziverly number, verify your PIN and manage the calls you are allowed to see.

    After verifying your PIN, hear which ramp enquiries still await an assessment or response and update their status or priority by phone.

Use your own numbers

What might unanswered calls represent for your business?

If an average ramp installation is worth around £1,800 to your business, even one suitable enquiry can be worth understanding properly. Replace that example with your own figures below.

The result is an illustration based only on what you enter. It is not a forecast, a promise that Ziverly will recover the work or a reason to accept an unsuitable job.

Enquiries represented by your figures 0 Monthly work value represented £0

This simple multiplication does not account for timing, capacity, costs, cancellations, repeat work or whether another response would have changed the outcome.

Useful boundaries for call handling

Let Ziverly gather details without overstepping your expertise.

Alterations may require Building Regulations or planning approval; accessibility work should be assessed around the user and installed by competent providers.

You remain responsible for the advice you give, the work you accept and the safety, eligibility and professional checks your business requires.

A few practical questions

What would you want to know before starting?

Use these answers to decide where Ziverly could help and where the conversation should always return to you.

Can Ziverly say which ramp will be suitable?

No. Ziverly can record the access difficulty and property context, but assessment, design and suitability remain with competent people.

Can a caller provide measurements?

Ziverly can note measurements they choose to share, while making clear that you will decide which checks are required.

Can it confirm whether permission is needed?

No. Ziverly can capture the property and project details, but planning, building and landlord requirements must be considered through the appropriate route.

Try the smallest useful version

Begin with the calls that interrupt your working day most often.

Choose what Ziverly should know, what it should never promise and which details make a follow-up genuinely useful. Creating an account is free, so you can look around before deciding when you want Ziverly to handle a call.

No monthly or annual plan is required and there is no fixed-term commitment. Add pay-as-you-go credit only when you are ready to use it.
