What the phone looks like for a Reading security company
Reading and the wider Berkshire has a population of around 350,000, built on technology, professional services and some of the most expensive property outside London. That produces a lot of phone calls, and for a security company working across Caversham, Earley and Tilehurst most of them arrive at the exact moment nobody can pick up.
A site that needs cover tonight will use whoever answers, and that contract often becomes a long one.
Callwise answers on your own 0118 number. Customers ring the number they already have, it is answered on the first ring by something that sounds like a person, and the job is booked into your diary before the caller has thought about trying anybody else.

Reading security companies ask us
Do we keep our 0118 number?
Yes. Your existing 0118 number stays exactly as it is and keeps ringing your phones. Calls only reach the assistant when nobody picks up, or at the hours you choose, so nothing about how Reading customers reach you changes.
Do you work with security companies outside Reading?
Yes. There is nothing local about how it works, so Reading and everywhere across Berkshire is covered the same way, along with the rest of the UK. The local part is your number and your customers, and both stay yours.
Can it handle short notice cover requests?
It takes the site, the hours and the requirement and reaches your operations manager immediately, at whatever hour the call comes.
Is it suitable for live incidents?
Anything on your incident list bypasses everything and alerts your control room within seconds.
Will it take installation enquiries?
Yes, with the site type and what they want covered, and it books the survey.
Security companies elsewhere
Hear it answer, then decide
Ring it and ask what a Reading customer would ask. It is the same assistant your callers would get, so if it does not convince you on the phone it will not convince them either.
