The Automated Revenue System

A clear next step for the leads you're already getting.

We build your website, connect your phone and set up the follow-up in Northline Command. The system answers approved questions, helps people book, and keeps your team informed.

$3,500 one-time setup + $497/month from go-live.

Setup is due at signing. Monthly service is billed in advance. 6-month minimum from go-live, then month-to-month with 30 days' notice to cancel. No revenue share or performance fee. Includes $25/month of standard usage; additional usage and optional Voice AI are billed separately. See the full usage details.

Here's what happens when someone asks for an estimate.

An example, not a customer record: a homeowner asks a plumbing company for an estimate while the crew is out. The system replies, checks the service area and job type, offers an approved appointment, confirms it, sends a reminder and passes the details to your team. Text replies depend on the person's consent and approved texting registration. The system doesn't dispatch emergencies or diagnose problems.

Illustrative exampleOne estimate request, step by stepHow the system is set up to work. Not a customer record or a result.
  1. A request comes in

    A homeowner asks a plumbing company for an estimate through the website while the crew is out on a job.

  2. The system replies

    An approved first reply goes out by email, and by text when the person consented and texting is approved.

  3. It checks the basics

    Service area and job type, using the rules you set. Anything outside them goes to your team instead.

  4. It offers a time

    The person picks an approved appointment from your calendar and gets a confirmation.

  5. It sends a reminder

    A reminder goes out before the appointment, so the visit stays on the schedule.

  6. Your team takes over

    The details are waiting in Northline Command. Your team runs the estimate and closes the job.

We set it up. You approve how it works.

We build

A new modern website

Built for the client and hosted on Northline's Cloudflare account during the engagement: fast mobile pages, content structured for Google and AI-search answers, the website chat assistant and online booking built in. Two rounds of revisions before go-live. No ranking, traffic or citation guarantees.

We build

A full modern Northline Command workspace

From the client template: sales pipeline, speed-to-lead automations, booking calendar, appointment confirmations and reminders that carry the meeting link, no-show recovery, estimate follow-up, review requests, weekly summary. A contact import from one CSV is included.

We build

AI agents for text and chat

SMS, website chat and supported connected social messaging. They answer approved questions, qualify, book and hand off; they say they are an AI assistant when asked.

We build

A dedicated business phone line

One domestic local number with the texting (A2P 10DLC) brand and campaign registration filed and paid for by Northline, answered by SpamBlock call screening.

SpamBlock · Included in the Automated Revenue System

Your phone should ring for work.

You're halfway through a job and the phone goes again. Another robocall. A tech puts down the tools to answer junk, and a real customer gets lost behind it. You need a way to sort the calls before they interrupt the work.

SpamBlock puts a short keypress menu in front of your business line. Real callers choose what they need and ring your phone. Robocalls that never press a key stop at the menu.

Example menu

For a new estimate, press 1.

For an existing job, press 2.

For billing, press 3.

We set the choices around your trade and who should answer. During your open hours, a caller presses a key and the right phone rings. After hours, callers get the message or on-call options you've chosen. Calls with no valid keypress end after the menu repeats; those calls do not ring the crew.

Four benefit lines

  • ✓Keep robocalls that don't press a key from pulling you off a job.
  • ✓Send estimate, existing-job and billing calls to the right phone.
  • ✓Keep the caller's details and voicemail in Northline Command if you miss them.
  • ✓Block a junk number. Let trusted customers and suppliers skip the menu.

Keep a path for real customers.

Choosing an option saves the caller in Northline Command, even when you can't pick up. If they leave a voicemail, it stays with their record. Missed-call text-back starts once texting is approved, subject to the texting rules and quiet hours. You can remove a mistaken block and safe-list a number that should skip the menu. Existing-job and billing calls stay with the contact; they do not create a new sales opportunity.

Someone who presses nothing hears the menu again, and the call ends after it repeats. A number you've blocked can't get through until you remove the block. Voice AI is optional. If you choose it, it sits behind SpamBlock for the overflow, after-hours or assistant option we configure with you. SpamBlock itself is a menu and routing, not an AI receptionist or Northline staff answering.

SpamBlock pricing and Voice AI

SpamBlock is included in your $497 monthly service. There is no usage charge for it, and it never draws on the $25 standard usage.

If you add Voice AI, a call that reaches it is Voice AI usage for its whole length, billed at Northline's actual platform cost + 5%.

From cleared setup payment to a tested launch.

We target website and workspace go-live in 10–14 days from cleared setup payment, with timely access and approvals. Texting follows carrier approval. Days are targets, not a guarantee; ACH clearance and carrier timing are separate dependencies.

2

See it work, and ask the practical questions.

A labeled demo and four answers: AI boundaries, existing tools, usage and exit.

What if the AI gets asked something it shouldn't answer?

You approve its questions, answers and scope during setup. It hands the conversation back when it reaches that boundary. It says it is an AI assistant when asked. It does not dispatch emergencies or give technical advice.

What if we already have a website or CRM?

The offer includes a new website and a configured Northline Command workspace. We'll review your existing tools on the call. One CSV contact import is included; a whole CRM/history migration or a custom integration isn't.

What happens if we use more?

Standard usage above $25 is billed at actual cost. Voice AI is billed separately at Northline's actual platform cost plus 5%. SpamBlock is included, no usage charge; neither it nor Voice AI draws from the $25. The monthly includes $25 of standard usage at actual platform cost: domestic calls other than Voice AI and SpamBlock calls, SMS/MMS segments, transactional email, text/chat AI tokens and review AI. Unused allowance does not roll over. Usage above it is billed monthly in arrears, and an amount under $5 carries to the next usage invoice instead of being billed on its own.

Can I leave, and what do I keep?

After the six-month minimum, service is month-to-month and you can cancel with 30 days' notice. After the minimum term, with 30 days' notice: the website repository and domain move to the client's own hosting account; the phone number can be ported out; contacts and conversation history are exported. The client template stays Northline's. Third-party licenses and the workspace template are not transferred.
