🇳🇿Why Hellodesk

The AI receptionist built for Kiwi businesses.

Same problem every NZ service business has: a missed call is a missed job. We built Hellodesk to fix that — in a way that actually works for how you operate.

The problem

You shouldn't need to be at a desk to win the job.

Every Kiwi service business loses money to the same handful of call problems. Sound familiar?

Missed calls while on-site

You're under a house or up a ladder — the phone rings, you can't answer, and the customer calls someone else.

Lost after-hours jobs

Hot water cylinders don't wait until Monday. Calls that come in at 8pm go to voicemail and never come back.

Messy job details

Scribbled notes, missed callbacks, no record of what the customer actually said. Jobs fall through the cracks.

Time wasted on repeat questions

"Do you service my area?" "What are your hours?" — the same questions, dozens of times a week.

Six reasons

Why service businesses pick Hellodesk over the alternatives.

Built in New Zealand, for NZ businesses

Auckland-based team, NZ phone numbers, NZ English voice option, and language tuned for the way Kiwi customers actually talk. We get it because we live here.

Inbound only — never outbound

Hellodesk answers your customers when they call you. We never use the platform to make outbound sales calls or contact people who haven't opted in. No spam, no robo-dialling, no risk to your reputation.

Hand-onboarded — not auto-provisioned

Every signup is reviewed by a real person. We tune the AI to your call flow, your FAQs, your urgency rules, and your escalation paths before it goes live. Live in under a week.

24/7 coverage from day one

After-hours, weekends, public holidays — your AI receptionist doesn't sleep. Every call gets answered in seconds, every job gets captured, every urgent issue gets escalated.

Pricing built for SMBs, not enterprise

Three plans (NZ$149 / $349 / $799) covering solo tradies through to busy multi-location service companies. No lock-in contracts, no enterprise sales process, cancel anytime.

Front-desk cover without the headcount

Get 24/7 phone coverage from $149/month — no hiring, no rosters, no sick days. It pays for itself with a couple of recovered jobs.
