Missed-lead inbox for local shops

Help local businesses catch referrals and calls without building a full system

Problem
Owners of event rentals, cleaning, nail salons and pet groomers get most orders through referrals and phone calls, yet miss calls or follow-ups when busy. Some dig through telecom records to find missed calls; others ask peers how to manage bookings and no-shows.
Solution
A lightweight lead inbox: a shareable booking link and a forwarding number that logs calls, texts and form submissions, groups them into 'to reply / booked / no-show', and sends one-tap follow-up templates. It does not replace existing booking software, only catches what falls through.
Users
Owner-operators of local event rentals, home services, pet grooming, small food businesses; people running on their phones without dedicated support staff.
MVP
Shareable booking form and lead inbox; missed-call text-back; lead status groups and notes; one-tap follow-up templates; daily reminder of unhandled leads.
Revenue
Monthly subscription tiered by phone numbers or lead volume; free tier caps lead count, paid adds automated texts and multi-staff assignment.
Why now
Local businesses are under-digitized but phone-first, and referrals remain their main acquisition channel. Indie developers can wire existing SMS and voice APIs into a safety-net tool instead of building a full CRM.
