Winnipeg Planet answers every repair request without living in the inbox.

A computer repair shop gets jobs by email all day. Each one needs a reply, a time and a tech. Here's what we set up so none of them slip.

The problem

Repair shop owner handling calls beside unanswered emails and a broken laptop.

Winnipeg Planet Computer & Technology gets sent out to repair computers. New jobs come in by email. Every one needs a quick reply, a time that works, and a tech who knows it's theirs.

On a busy day the inbox wins. Replies go out late, a customer waits, and someone has to piece the schedule back together at night.

Late replies cost jobs. A Harvard Business Review study of 2,241 US companies found that firms answering within an hour were nearly seven times as likely to reach a real conversation as firms that waited even one hour longer. In a Harris Poll, half of consumers said they won't wait more than six hours for a small business to reply.

What we built

Robot scheduling a repair appointment and handing a toolbox to a technician.
  • AI reads every new email and replies right away with next steps.
  • It books the job into the schedule at a time that works.
  • It tells each tech what's next and follows up on anything still open.
  • Anything unusual goes to a person instead of getting a canned answer.
A repair email becomes a reply, a scheduled appointment and a technician assignment.
  1. New request
  2. Quick reply
  3. Scheduled job
  4. Assigned tech

What changed

Customers hear back right away. Techs know which jobs are theirs. The owner checks on the work instead of chasing it.
