The leak

It's not one big problem.
It's forty small ones, every week.

Nobody loses a business to a single disaster. You lose it to the drip — the little moments where nobody was free, nobody remembered, and nobody noticed. Sound familiar?

📵

The call you couldn't take

You're on a ladder, or with a customer, or driving. The phone rings twice and stops. That caller is already dialing the next company on the list.

📥

The quote that went quiet

You sent it Tuesday. They had a question Thursday. Nobody followed up, and "let me think about it" quietly became "we went with someone else."

⌨️

The 9pm data entry

Field tickets and supplier invoices, retyped into the books after dinner. The highest-paid data-entry clerk in your company is you.

🔇

The follow-up that never happened

The invoice slid overdue. The delighted customer was never asked for a review. Not because you don't care — because humans forget.

None of this needs a heroic effort. It needs a system that never forgets ↓

One lead, zero touches

What a Tuesday looks like with the system in.

One missed call, handled end-to-end while you stay on the job. This is a real flow shape we build — watch it run.

What we automate

The work that eats your evenings,
done before you notice.

Every automation below is built and proven in our own stack — several are running our company right now. This website, the chatbot in the corner, and the follow-up you'll get are the product, working.

📞

Missed-call text-back

A missed call is usually a lost job. Callers get an instant text with a booking link, and the lead lands in your CRM — before your competitor picks up the phone.

  • Instant text with your booking link, sent within seconds of the hang-up
  • Lead logged in your CRM with the caller's number, time, and a follow-up already queued
💬

Support chatbots

Trained only on your real business information — never invents prices or policies, hands off to a human the moment it should, and learns from every conversation. Try ours: bottom-right corner.

  • Must pass a 20-question exam on your business at 90%+ before it meets a customer
  • Keyless design — no per-message AI fees on our chatbot plans
📄

Paperwork extraction

Field tickets, supplier invoices, POs — photographed, extracted, cross-checked, and entered into your books with the math verified. Minutes become seconds.

  • Photo → extracted fields → totals cross-checked before anything is entered
  • Anything suspicious gets flagged for a human instead of guessed at
🧭

Lead capture & routing

Every enquiry from the channels we connect — website form, chat, your phone system — captured, scored, and routed to the right person with the follow-up already queued. Nothing falls through the cracks.

  • Every channel lands in one pipeline with a next action attached
  • Scored and routed so the hottest lead gets the fastest call
🔁

Back-office flows

Quotes, invoicing, overdue chasing, review requests — the follow-ups that make you money but eat your time, done automatically and logged.

  • Overdue invoices chased politely and automatically, every single time
  • Review requests sent at the exact moment customers are happiest
📊

Reports that write themselves

A weekly snapshot of leads, jobs, and cash — and monthly client-ready reports drafted for you. Know your numbers without opening a spreadsheet.

  • Weekly leads / jobs / cash snapshot on your dashboard, every Friday
  • Monthly client-ready reports drafted automatically for your review

Every one of these runs on our own company first — 19 automations and counting. We are our own pickiest client. See what yours are costing you →

The service isn't the expensive part — the leak is.

AI chatbots

A receptionist that never sleeps — and never makes things up.

Most chatbots guess. Ours answers only from your approved business information, suggests the questions customers actually ask, and hands off to a human the moment it's unsure.

Grounded in your businessIt quotes your real prices, hours, and policies — or says "let me get a human" instead of guessing.
Captures leads while you sleepVisitors leave a name and number; you wake up to a follow-up already queued in your CRM.
Gets smarter every weekQuestions it couldn't answer become a teach list. Approve an answer once — it's remembered forever.
Quality-gated before launchEvery bot must pass a 20-question exam on your business at 90%+ before it ever meets a customer.
No per-message AI feesOur bots are keyless — you don't pay a toll on every conversation, and neither do we.
Hi! I'm MilvoBot 👋 Ask me anything about pricing, process, or what we automate.
how much is an audit?
An Automation Audit runs $1,500–2,500. We map your workflows, quantify the hours you're losing, and hand you a build plan — yours to keep either way.

↘ The real one is in the corner. Go ahead — try to stump it.

Who this is for

Built for businesses where a missed message is missed money.

The scenarios below are hypothetical — we won't invent client stories — but the automations are exactly what we'd build first in each case.

Picture a two-crew plumbing outfit: the owner quotes jobs from the truck, calls go to voicemail all day, and invoices get written on Sunday night. Every missed ring is a $400+ job walking to a competitor.

What we'd automate first

  • Missed-call text-back with a booking link — the caller hears from you in seconds, not tomorrow
  • Quote follow-ups that nudge politely until there's a yes or a no
  • Field-ticket photo → extracted, checked, and entered into the books automatically
How it works

Four steps.
Then it runs itself.

No long discovery decks, no "strategy" calls that go nowhere. We find the leak, plug it, prove it worked, and keep it working. You'll know the cost, the timeline, and the success metric before anything gets built.

Proof, not promises

We won't show you rented logos or invented quotes.

We're an automation company that's young enough to be honest about it. So instead of testimonials we can't back up, here are six claims you can personally verify — two of them right now, from this page, the rest before you ever sign.

Bots pass an exam before launch

Every chatbot must score 90%+ on a 20-question eval about your business before it meets a customer. No pass, no launch.

CASL compliance is enforced in software

Consent recorded, sender identified, unsubscribe honoured — and a message without a legal basis simply doesn't send.

You own everything, in writing

Founding clients

Three audits at half price.4

Milvo is new, and we'd rather earn proof than claim it. The first three Alberta businesses get the full Automation Audit for $750 instead of $1,500+. The trade, stated plainly: honest feedback while we work — and only if you're happy with the result, a testimonial we can publish, a short case study, and a Google review. That's it. Slots are open through September 30, 2026; after three claims or the deadline, it's list price.

Questions

Fair questions, straight answers.

Do I need to change the software I already use?
Almost never. We connect the tools you already have — your phone system, your inbox, your accounting software, your website — and make them talk to each other. If something truly needs replacing, we'll tell you why in the audit before any build starts.
What happens when an automation breaks?
Every automation we ship is monitored 24/7. When something errors, we usually know before you do — a fix task is raised automatically, and our public status page shows the health of everything we run. Silent failures are the thing we engineered this company around preventing.
Will the chatbot say something wrong to my customers?
It answers only from business information you approve — it doesn't invent prices or policies. When it isn't confident, it says so and hands the conversation to a human. And before launch it must score 90%+ on a 20-question exam about your business.
Is my data used to train AI models?
No. Your business data grounds your automations and your bot — it is not used to train third-party AI models, and it stays yours. We'll put that in writing.
Are the marketing automations legal in Canada?
Yes — compliance is built in, not bolted on. Every message our systems send is CASL-checked in software: consent recorded, sender identified, unsubscribe honoured. If a message doesn't have a legal basis, the system refuses to send it.
Who owns what you build?
You do. The workflows, the data, the accounts — all set up in your name. If we part ways, everything keeps working and you keep everything. Our retainer earns its renewal every month or doesn't deserve it.
Isn't this expensive compared to just hiring someone?
Different tools for different jobs. A person brings judgment; a system brings tirelessness — it answers the 2am enquiry, never calls in sick, and doesn't take the process with it when it leaves. We recommend starting with the audit precisely so the decision is made on your own numbers, not our pitch. If hiring is genuinely your better move, the audit will say so.
We tried Zapier once and it flopped. Why would this be different?
The tool was probably fine — the setup had no owner. DIY automations usually die of silent failure: something breaks, nothing alerts anyone, and trust evaporates. Everything we ship has error monitoring wired in from day one, an agreed acceptance test, and a human on the hook for it. That's the difference between a weekend project and a system.
Are we locked in? What if we want to leave?
You can leave any time, and everything keeps working after you do — the workflows, data, and accounts are in your name from day one. No proprietary platform, no hostage data, no exit fee. We'd rather earn the retainer monthly than trap you into it.
What are the ongoing AI fees?
For our chatbots: none per message. They're keyless by design, so there's no metered AI bill quietly growing with your traffic — a busy month costs you the same as a quiet one. If you want us maintaining and improving the bot, care plans start at $300/mo, but that's optional and cancellable.
