Four-state calls,
answered from Joplin.
Joplin businesses can use Voxgard as an AI receptionist that picks up the 417 line in about 0.3 seconds, day or night, and books repairs and visits while the caller waits. Joplin is the hub of the four-state area, where Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma and Arkansas come close together, and a shop here pulls customers from Webb City, Carthage, Carl Junction, Neosho and over the line in Kansas. The AI gets the ZIP first and then the street address, measures the drive from your base, and tells the caller if they are in range. Spring storm season hits this corner of Missouri hard, and the calls afterwards come in fast; it answers each one and marks the urgent ones. Spanish and 31 other languages are handled live. Recordings, transcripts and summaries land in your dashboard. It runs on Central Time. Plans start at $249 a month, and the free five-day pilot runs on your real calls with no credit card.

What Joplin means
for your phone line.
Storm season in the spring
Southwest Missouri gets severe storms, hail and tornado warnings every spring. Roofers, tree crews and restoration companies see calls pile up the next morning.
Route 66 and I-44 traffic
Travelers on I-44 and old Route 66 call tire shops, towing companies and motels from the road. The AI gives them your hours and books them in.
Customers across state lines
People in Pittsburg, Galena or Miami, Oklahoma drive to Joplin for service. The AI checks the distance from your shop, so the state on the address does not matter.
