for tool & equipment hire shops

Every call answered.
Every hire booked.
Even mid-service.

Most hire shops lose bookings in the same three places: while you're serving someone at the counter, after you've locked up, and on a Sunday when nobody's in. Agentika picks up every time and books it in properly.

how it actually works

What happens between the phone ringing and the money landing.

Same three-step conversation whether it's Tuesday lunchtime or 11pm on a bank holiday.

01

It answers before voicemail does

Doesn't matter if you're mid-service or the shop's shut for hours — Agentika picks up in your business's name.

02

It books it, or it doesn't lose the sale

Free? Booked on the spot. Out of stock? It puts the caller on a waiting list and asks if an alternative would do.

03

It chases the ones that got away

Something on the waiting list frees up? It rings back and can offer a discount if the customer's hesitant. Every call is logged.

what it's actually doing back there

Not a script. A system that behaves like your best counter person.

Remembers your regulars

Recognises a returning customer by number, applies whatever repeat-hire discount you've set.

Shows you what it made

One dashboard — bookings, revenue, minutes used. No spreadsheet to build yourself.

A record of every call

Transcript, outcome, timestamp — useful the day a customer disputes what was agreed.

Nothing to learn

If you can read a phone bill, you can read this. One screen, plain numbers.

A person on the other end

Genuinely needs a human? It hands off. When you need us, it's our team, not a chatbot.

Moves with your busy season

Tell us call volume's changed and we'll move you up or down a plan the same day.

pricing

Same system on every plan. You're just paying for minutes.

Every plan answers 24/7, books, waitlists, chases missed hires, applies your discounts, and shows the dashboard.

We set this up with you during onboarding rather than a self-serve signup — call volume changes with the seasons, and we'll move you a plan the same day.

faq

What hire shop owners actually ask us.

What if it can't actually sort something out?
It knows its limits. If someone wants to speak to you directly, or it's something odd it's not built to handle, it takes a message or puts the call through.
Am I getting rid of my counter staff?
No. It picks up what your team physically can't — while you're serving someone else, after the shutters are down, on a Sunday.
How long before it's actually live?
A few days, usually. We load your stock and pricing, set the greeting, then run it through real scenarios before it touches your line.
What happens overnight or on a bank holiday?
Exactly what happens at 2pm on a Wednesday. It answers, books what it can, and anything needing a person waits for your team next morning.
Can it really offer a discount, or is that marketing talk?
It can, if you've told it to — the same way a good counter person would, to stop a booking slipping away.
What if a regular calls back for the third time this month?
It recognises the number and applies your repeat-hire discount without anyone needing to remember who's hired what.
What if I go over my minutes?
We'll flag it before it's a problem. Bump the plan up, or finish the month out — calls don't just get cut off.
Can I move up or down a plan later?
Yes — call us, tell us it's got busier or quieter, and we'll change it the same day.
Is customer data actually handled properly?
Encrypted, every access logged, and kept separate from every other business using Agentika.
Can I see it working before I commit?
That's what the demo's for — your stock, your prices, not a fictional hire shop that's never seen a muddy boot.
