Answers grounded in your business

Common questions

Can There247 confirm bookings, availability or account changes?

The examples on this page capture and route enquiries. Your team confirms bookings, stock, attendance and account changes. Sofie can share approved information, including supplied prices or availability, with any relevant date or limitation.

What if the caller needs a person?

Sofie can introduce the caller to the appropriate team member under your rules. Warm transfers are available on Premium and Business. If nobody answers, use your agreed fallback and notification route.

Can we use it only when the team is busy or closed?

Yes. Agree when calls should reach There247 and configure the routing for your existing number and phone provider. Test the arrangement before relying on it.

What should stay with our authorised team?

Published moving-home steps, tariff explanations, billing guides and provider-approved service notices. Account changes stay with verified staff workflows. Keep the enquiry to the minimum needed to route it, and apply your privacy and identity-verification procedures.
