What Zatio does for an electrical contractor
Sorts out urgent faults
Asks whether the whole property has lost power or just part of it, whether the RCD keeps tripping and where the job is. Urgent calls go through to the number you choose, with the address already noted.
“Is it the whole house or just one area?”
Gathers every quote request
EV charger, consumer unit upgrade, EICR or a rewire: what’s needed, where, when and a rough budget. On WhatsApp it asks for photos of the consumer unit or the area and saves them with the job.
“Could you send a photo of your consumer unit?”
Books the visit
Offers real slots from your diary and leaves the visit booked or ready to confirm, with a summary in your inbox. You arrive with everything the customer has told it.
“Would Thursday at 10am or 5pm work for you?”
Zatio only answers when you can’t
Keep answering your own phone as usual. Zatio stays in the background and picks up the calls you can’t get to, plus everything out of hours.
Your phone rings first
During your hours, calls ring on your mobile or your team’s phone as a normal call, for as many seconds as you choose (10 to 40).
If you can’t pick up, Zatio does
If nobody answers or the line is busy, Zatio answers. It knows your team couldn’t get to the phone: it helps the caller and, if they want to speak to you, takes their name and the reason so you can ring them back.
Out of hours, Zatio answers
When you’re closed, Zatio answers straight away, based on your opening hours. Or choose the times yourself, such as evenings and weekends.
Switch it on in your dashboard under “When Zatio answers”. It’s included in every plan. Every call is logged, whether your team or Zatio picked it up, and you can move to Zatio answering every call whenever you like.
Prefer calls to come in on your usual line? Set up conditional call forwarding on your mobile or phone system (when busy or unanswered) to your Zatio number.
Phone, WhatsApp and website chat in one plan
One assistant across all three channels, with what it knows about your business. In every plan, with no add-ons per channel.
Phone
Answers your calls at any hour on your existing number: all of them, out of hours, or whenever you can’t pick up.
WhatsApp
Full conversations on WhatsApp Business: replies, asks for photos and details, and lines up the visit.
Website chat
The same assistant on your website, trained on your pages: services, area, hours and common questions.
An EV charger quote
- Morning. I’d like an EV charger fitted on my driveway. Could you quote?
- Of course. So the electrician can prepare: is it a private driveway, and roughly how far is it from your consumer unit?
- Private driveway, and the consumer unit’s on the same wall.
- Great. Could you send a photo of the consumer unit and one of where you’d like the charger?
- (2 photos)
- Thanks. Could the electrician pop round to take a look on Thursday at 10am or 5pm?
- 5pm please.
Photos saved and a visit on Thursday at 5pm in your diary
Example conversation, not from a real customer.

Questions
What does it do with an urgent fault?
Whatever you tell it: put the call through to your mobile or your on-call electrician, or take the details and email you the summary. You decide what counts as urgent.
Does it give my customers prices?
Only the ones you give it. If a job needs a visit before it can be quoted, it says so and offers the visit. It never makes things up.
Can I keep my number?
Yes. You forward calls to your Zatio line: all of them, out of hours, or when you don’t pick up.
What if I’d rather keep answering calls myself?
That’s what cover mode is for: your phone rings first and Zatio only answers if you don’t pick up, the line is busy or it’s out of hours. You can change it whenever you like from your dashboard.
How long does it take to set up?
About 10 minutes: Zatio reads your website, builds its knowledge base and you review it before switching on. A WhatsApp Business number takes about 5 working days; we handle the paperwork.
How much does it cost?
There are three plans, month to month with no annual commitment, and every one includes phone, WhatsApp and website chat. See pricing
