Out-of-Hours Answering Service That Captures Every Lead

The average business misses 30% of its calls out of hours — and most of those callers ring a competitor next. Our out-of-hours AI receptionist covers evenings, weekends and holidays so every enquiry converts.

We onboard a limited number of new businesses each month.

When you close, the phone keeps ringing. NovaScale AI covers the gap between closing time and opening time, plus full weekends and holidays, so evening enquiries are answered, booked and waiting for you in the morning.

We handle the setup end to end: we design the conversation, train the agent on your services and pricing, connect it to your calendar and CRM, and monitor it as it goes live. You keep full transcripts, tunable rules and instant escalation when it matters.

A summary of every overnight lead is waiting for you first thing, with new bookings already in the diary.

The hidden cost

The real cost of calls after closing time

Industry data suggests up to 62% of calls to small businesses go unanswered, and 85% of callers who reach voicemail never call back. For most operators that is the single biggest leak in the funnel, quietly costing thousands every month.
