AI Receptionist for Dog Groomers
in Christchurch

Friday morning. You're carefully working through the coat on a Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier — precision scissoring around the face — and a Christchurch resident rings about booking their Shetland Sheepdog. Your phone is in your pocket, vibrating. You can't answer. They move on to the next result and book online instantly. ForgeMason answers that Friday call, takes the Sheltie details, and confirms the appointment — while you stay focused on the finish.

Christchurch has one of the oldest
populations in the UK — and they love their dogs.

Christchurch is well known for its high proportion of older residents, many of whom keep companion dogs — Spaniels, Shih Tzus, Bichons, and Maltese — as a central part of their daily lives. These owners are often very loyal to a trusted groomer, but they're also straightforward about moving on if they can't get through. Christchurch groomers tend to rely heavily on repeat custom, which makes the 6–8 week recall feature especially valuable alongside the core call answering service.

Questions from
Christchurch groomers.

Will older clients find it confusing to speak with an AI rather than a person?+
ForgeMason is designed to sound natural and conversational, not robotic. It guides callers through a simple booking conversation at a natural pace and can be configured to identify itself however you prefer. For clients who are uncertain, it can always offer to have you call back, capturing their number and query in the meantime.
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.
