Process

From enquiry to booked customer.

Three simple stages. The technical build stays behind the scenes.

1

Map the customer journey

We identify where enquiries, bookings and follow-ups are being lost.

See what we map

Services, opening hours, staff, common questions, lead sources, booking rules, reminder timing and the tone your AI should use.

2

Build the automation

Your AI receptionist, booking flow and follow-up system are configured around your process.

See what gets built

AI responses, calendar logic, customer notifications, lead capture, review requests, CRM or spreadsheet records and internal alerts.

3

Launch and optimise

We test the system, go live, monitor performance and improve it monthly.

See monthly support

Bug fixes, small changes, response improvements, automation monitoring and practical recommendations based on how customers actually use the system.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Open only what matters to you.

Do I need technical skills to set this up?
No. Vanguard handles the setup, logic and integrations. You provide your services, hours, staff details and customer process.
Can it handle WhatsApp conversations on its own?
Yes. The AI receptionist can answer common questions, collect details, guide customers toward bookings and hand over when human help is needed.
How do payments work?
Vanguard currently uses secure EFT payments. After your proposal is approved, you receive an official invoice with banking details.
Can I use my own branding?
Yes. Customer-facing flows can match your business name, tone, services and communication style depending on the package.
Is my data separated from other businesses?
Yes. Each client system is built with separated records, workflows and access so information is not mixed between businesses.
Can I cancel anytime?
