AI Receptionist for office and commercial removal companies
Office move contracts are awarded to the firm that answers the facilities manager first.
Ava is the AI receptionist for commercial removal companies that answers every facilities enquiry, captures office size and move spec, and books your site survey before the competitor responds.
Each missed office removal enquiry costs £3,000–£15,000+ per contract. Facilities managers call three firms and award to the first credible response — there is no second chance.
The short answer
- £3,000–£15,000 per office relocation contract — facilities managers shortlist quickly and award to the firm that answered first and sounded capable.
- 24/7 cover captures the after-hours call from a facilities manager who rings once the rest of their office has gone home.
- IT scope, access constraints and move timeline captured at booking so your estimator arrives at the survey with the right questions already answered.
- 48-hour go-live gets Ava trained on your commercial tiers and survey process before the next tender window.
- 5 platforms supported — MoveMan, Okappy, Tradify, ServiceM8, and Powered Now.
The problem
A facilities manager rings to discuss relocating a 40-person office over a weekend. They call three removal companies. Two go to voicemail. The third answers, sounds professional, and books a site survey that afternoon. That is the firm quoting the job.
What Ava does
Ava handles commercial removal enquiries professionally, captures the office size, IT inventory, weekend access requirements, and preferred handover date, and books a site survey with your commercial team.
A 40-person office relocation is worth £3,000–£15,000. A multi-site or phased corporate move is significantly more. The enquiry goes to the firm that answers best.
How does Ava handle a commercial removal enquiry?
Ava answers professionally, captures desk count or floor area, move date, IT scope, access constraints at both buildings, and any out-of-hours or weekend requirements, then books a site survey with your commercial director. The enquiry writes into your CRM as a structured opportunity.
A facilities manager comparing commercial removal contractors is evaluating responsiveness as much as capability. The firm that answers immediately, captures the commercial detail correctly, and books a site survey the same day signals the kind of operational reliability that procurement teams are actually buying.
Ava speaks the commercial language: loading bay access, lift shaft dimensions, server room decommissioning, phased handover, out-of-hours working. She captures the specific constraints that shape the survey, so your estimator arrives with the right questions already answered rather than spending the first thirty minutes on discovery.
Every commercial enquiry writes into MoveMan or your CRM with office size, IT scope, access constraints, and move timeline so the survey team reviews a complete brief before attending.
Why do commercial removal firms lose contracts before they even quote?
Facilities managers call two or three removal companies simultaneously and shortlist based on who answered and sounded credible. The firms that go to voicemail are off the list before the first survey is booked. A missed commercial call is not a delayed opportunity — it is a closed one.
Office relocations have fixed timelines governed by lease end dates, fit-out completion, or board decisions. A company moving at the end of September is finalising contractors in August. Miss the enquiry in August and there is no second chance in September.
The commercial move market also operates on referral and repeat business. A facilities manager satisfied with one move books the same company for the next lease change, recommends it to their network, and returns when they move to a larger office. The missed first enquiry forfeits not just the immediate contract but potentially years of repeat business.
Ava ensures you are always in the first call, always the firm that answered, and always the one shortlisted for the survey that converts.

Hear it in action
This is what your callers hear.
- Good afternoon, MoveRight Commercial — how can I help?
- I need to move a 40-person office from the city centre to a new building six miles away. I'm targeting the last weekend in September.
- That's very achievable. Can I ask whether the move includes IT infrastructure and server room, and whether the new building has lift access or loading bay?
- Full IT including servers. New building has a loading bay, old building is a lift.
- I'll flag the server room and lift-only access for the survey. Can I book a site visit with our commercial director this week to assess and produce a detailed quotation?
Before you choose
What to look for in an AI receptionist for office & commercial moves.
Commercial language fluency
Facilities managers judge on the first call. The receptionist must handle server room moves, phased relocations, out-of-hours access and loading bay requirements naturally.
IT scope capture
IT infrastructure changes the crew size, specialist equipment and liability exposure. Confirm the system captures IT scope at the enquiry stage, not at the survey.
Site survey booking with access notes
The estimator needs lift dimensions, loading bay availability and parking restrictions before arriving. Confirm the system captures all three at booking.
Structured CRM entry
The enquiry should write into MoveMan or ServiceM8 with office size, move date, IT scope and access constraints so the estimator scopes from a clean commercial brief.
Common questions
Everything you’re wondering.
Can Ava handle commercial removal enquiries from facilities managers?
Yes. Ava captures commercial detail: office size in desks or floor area, whether IT infrastructure needs moving, weekend or out-of-hours access requirements, and the relocation timeline.
What qualifying information does Ava capture for a commercial enquiry?
Desk count or floor area, current and destination addresses, preferred move date and whether out-of-hours working is required, IT and server room scope, any sensitive materials or data security requirements, and the procurement timeline.
Can Ava handle phased or multi-site commercial relocations?
Yes. Ava captures phase count, site addresses, and the overall project timeline, then routes the enquiry to your commercial director as a multi-site programme lead.
Can Ava handle calls about IT relocation and data security requirements?
Ava captures whether IT infrastructure is included in the move and any stated data security requirements, then flags these for your commercial team. She does not advise on data security protocols — those are discussed by your project manager.
Does Ava book site surveys for commercial quotations?
Yes. Ava books a site visit with your commercial team, capturing access requirements, lift dimensions, and parking restrictions so your estimator arrives prepared to produce an accurate quotation.
How quickly can Ava go live for our commercial removal business?
Typically within 48 hours. We train her on your commercial service tiers and site survey process before she goes live.
Does Ava integrate with removal management software?
Yes. Ava writes confirmed site surveys into MoveMan, Okappy or ServiceM8 with office size, move date, IT scope and access requirements so your estimator prepares from a structured brief.
Can Ava handle calls about decommissioning old furniture or equipment?
Yes. Ava captures whether old furniture clearance or equipment decommissioning is required alongside the move, and notes it in the survey booking so your estimator includes it in the quotation scope.
Pricing
Ava pays for herself on call one.
A 40-person office relocation is worth £3,000–£15,000. A multi-site or phased corporate move is significantly more. The enquiry goes to the firm that answers best. Plans from £397/mo. One recovered job a month covers it — everything else is pure upside.
