AI Receptionist for Dog Groomers
in Chard

Tuesday lunchtime. You're drying and finishing a Maltese — close scissoring around the face — when a farmer from the Blackdown Hills calls to book their Fox Terrier in. Two rings, no answer. They pull over, search on their phone, and find a mobile groomer who covers the Chard area. Booking confirmed. ForgeMason handles that call while you focus on the finish, captures the breed and trim preferences, and secures the appointment before anyone else does.

Chard serves a wide rural catchment.
Those owners won't call twice.

Chard is a market town at the southern edge of Somerset, drawing from villages and farms across the Blackdown Hills and the Axe valley. Dog ownership is high among the rural households who rely on Chard for services, and many of these owners drive considerable distances. If they call during your grooming hours and get no answer, they won't call again — they'll find an alternative during the same drive. ForgeMason captures those calls in real time, so a missed ring during a groom doesn't mean a missed client.

Questions from
Chard groomers.

How does ForgeMason handle callers who want to ask questions rather than just book?+
ForgeMason is configured with answers to your most common questions — pricing, services, parking, whether you take nervous dogs — so callers get useful responses rather than a dead end. If a question falls outside its brief, it takes the caller's details and flags it for you to follow up.
Can ForgeMason handle a waiting list for fully booked slots?+
Yes. If your preferred date is fully booked, ForgeMason captures the client's details and adds them to a waiting list notification. When a cancellation comes in, you receive their contact details immediately so you can fill the slot before it sits empty.
Is there a minimum contract?+
No minimum contract. Rolling monthly. No setup fee.
