AI call answering for mobile mechanics

Pick up the next job while you're still on this one

When a van won't start, the caller may ring another mechanic if nobody answers. There247 picks up while you're working, captures where the vehicle is and what happened, and gets the enquiry to your team so they can decide whether to attend.
