Paving And Driveway Contractors + ServiceM8
The AI receptionist for paving and driveway contractors that writes straight into ServiceM8.
Driveway season is short. Every missed call is real money.
How it works
Foan plugs into ServiceM8 so every call becomes structured data in the system you already use. No re-typing, no copy-paste, no "I'll add it later."
Why paving and driveway contractors miss calls.
Spring rush + you're behind a roller. Calls go to voicemail.
It's late April. You're three weeks into the spring rush. You're behind a roller for nine hours a day. The phones are ringing constantly: homeowners want their driveway done before the kids are home for summer.
You miss six calls before lunch. Two go to your wife who fields them as best she can. Four ring out. Your competitors run answering services because driveway season is short and they can't afford to miss anything.
Foan picks up in two seconds, sounds professional, asks for the address, the driveway length and width, the surface (asphalt, concrete, gravel, tar-and-chip), whether it's a new install or a repave. Quotes a ballpark from your standard rates. Books a measure visit. Texts you a one-line summary so you can call from the roller seat at the next break.
What you get on day one.

Frequently asked
Does Foan really work for paving and driveway contractors using ServiceM8?
Yes. Spring rush + you're behind a roller. Calls go to voicemail. Foan answers calls live, qualifies them by asking the questions a paving contractor would ask, and writes the outcome into your ServiceM8 automatically. There's nothing for you to copy across.
How does Foan + ServiceM8 compare to hiring a receptionist?
A part-time receptionist costs around £1,800/mo and only covers business hours. Foan picks up 24/7 in two seconds, never misses a call during peak, and starts at £49/mo. Everything ends up in ServiceM8 the same way a human assistant would log it — except instantly and without typos.
What if a caller asks a question Foan doesn't know the answer to?
Foan is configured with your business hours, services, prices and FAQs the moment it's set up — we scan your website automatically. For anything genuinely unknown, the agent admits it doesn't know, takes the caller's contact details, and pings you so you can ring back. Better than voicemail, every time.
How quickly can I get this live with ServiceM8?
Under 10 minutes. Sign up, connect ServiceM8 via OAuth (one click), pick a UK phone number, point your existing business line at it. Foan starts answering on the next ring.
