Who is EchoDial best for?

Service businesses that need online booking plus automated confirmations, two-way SMS, voice reminders, deposits, and (optionally) HIPAA video—like movers, locksmiths, clinics, and home services.

Can I send on-the-way texts and ETA updates?

Yes—use one-tap on-the-way SMS and two-way replies in a shared inbox.

Do you support deposits and cancellation policies?

Yes. Collect deposits at booking and display policies to reduce no-shows.

Is telehealth/HIPAA video supported?

Yes—HIPAA-friendly video visits and forms are available.

Do I need multiple tools?

EchoDial bundles booking, SMS/email/voice reminders, forms/e-sign, video, and AI content so you can reduce tool sprawl.
