A phone that kept ringing
In 2023 I sat in my sister's dental clinic and watched the phone ring six times in ten minutes while her team helped patients at the desk.
The real problem
The team was not doing anything wrong. Front desks do three jobs at once, and the phone always loses.
What we are building
Hollis answers every call like your best receptionist would, books the appointment and gives your team their time back.
