Process

From diagnosis to booked customers.

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

1

Diagnose & quote

On a 15-minute call (or via our quick quote form) we find where enquiries, bookings and follow-ups are being lost — then give you a fixed price.

See what we look at

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.

Delivery

A complete system, not a template.

Every build is designed, implemented and supported around your business — before and after launch.

Before launch

We map your sales process and prepare the system so it makes sense for your business.

  • Business process audit
  • Customer enquiry flow design
  • AI assistant tone and responses
  • Booking, follow-up and review logic

After launch

Monthly support covers monitoring and improvements so the system stays reliable.

  • Ongoing support and adjustments
  • Automation monitoring
  • Performance recommendations
  • New workflow improvements as needed
Pricing

No packages. A system priced around your business.

Every business loses enquiries in different places. We diagnose your workflow first, then give you one fixed quotation for exactly the system you need — nothing padded, nothing hidden.

What shapes your quote

Your workflow, not a tier

  • Channels connected (WhatsApp, web, social, email)
  • Booking rules, staff and number of locations
  • Integrations with your calendar, CRM or software
  • Monthly enquiry volume
  • Follow-up, review and reporting needs
Every build includes

Done-for-you, end to end

  • Workflow audit and journey design
  • AI trained on your services and tone
  • Booking, reminder and handover logic
  • Testing, launch and team walkthrough
  • Monthly monitoring and improvements
How you pay

Two numbers. Both fixed.

Setup feeOnce-off, covers the custom build
Monthly supportKeeps it running, monitored and improving

Both are confirmed in writing before any work starts. If the scope doesn't change, the price doesn't change.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Open only what matters to you.

Why don't you list fixed packages?
Because two businesses rarely need the same system. A solo barber and a three-branch clinic have very different channels, volumes and integrations. Quoting after a diagnosis means you only pay for what your workflow actually needs.
What happens on the 15-minute live diagnosis?
We ask how enquiries reach you and where they get lost, show you a live demo of the AI handling enquiries like yours, and give you a fixed quotation before the call ends. There's no obligation to go ahead.
Is the emailed quote as accurate as the live one?
It's based on your answers, so it's a firm quote for the scope you described. If something important only comes up later — like an extra location or integration — we'll confirm any change with you in writing before work starts.
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 uses secure EFT payments. After you approve your quotation, you receive an official invoice with banking details.
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?
Monthly support is flexible, but the setup fee covers the custom build. Final cancellation terms are confirmed in your quotation.
