Relay
Retail & local commerce

The customer calls to know
if you have it in stock.

Shop, garage, workshop, local service: the question on the phone is short, and so is the answer. A local number, texts from that same number, and transcribed voicemail for the calls that land mid-rush.

Hi, do you do quotes for multiple lines?
Yes, of course. How many lines do you need?
We'd be looking at 12 lines for the team.
Suggested reply
For 12 lines, I'll prepare an at-cost telecom quote today. What's your monthly call volume?

Answering while the store keeps running.

The line announces your hours

Before opening and after closing, the call goes to voicemail with your greeting. The customer knows when to call back.

A photo answers faster

The part, the model in stock, the state of the work: from the shop's number, on the customer's thread.

The number on the window is yours

It lives on your telecom account, with your region's area code. It stays reachable if you change software.

Saturday staff see everything

Who promised what, on what date. The history belongs to the shop and stays when the person changes.

The call searches before giving up

During the rush, sequential forwarding rings several people one after another.

Recurring questions have a template

Hours, parking, returns: you write the answer once and send it in one click.

What breaks today

    The phone rings while a customer waits at the counter.

    Opening hours change, and the line does not know it.

    The number on the window belongs to the platform, not the shop.

The line announces your hours

Before opening and after closing, the call goes to voicemail with your own greeting. The customer knows when to call back instead of letting it ring.

  • Hours per day of the week
  • Greeting in French or English
  • Automatic text after hours

A photo answers faster than an explanation

Send a photo of the part, the model in stock or the state of the work from the shop's number. The thread stays attached to the customer.

  • Texts and photos from the same number
  • Templates for the recurring questions
  • One thread per customer, never a duplicate

The number on the window is yours

It lives on your telecom account, in your name, with your region's area code. It stays reachable even if you change software or provider.

  • Pick your local area code at purchase
  • Port an existing number to your account
  • We keep you with the product, not the contract

Saturday staff see the same history

Who promised what, on what date, to which customer. The history belongs to the shop and stays when the person changes.

  • Shared inbox, one-click assignment
  • Open or closed status on every thread
  • An extra seat costs $3-7 CAD

What changes at the counter

    The line states your hours before the customer lets it ring.

    A photo from the shop's number replaces three explanations.

    The number on the window stays reachable whatever you change.

    The customer history belongs to the shop, not the employee.

    No desk phone to buy: a browser is enough.

The price, before you pay

The math, for a 4-person shop

Four people, one local number, 500 minutes and 400 texts a month. Software in Canadian dollars, telecom in US dollars on your provider account.

Relay Essentials (3 seats incl. + 1)$24 CAD
500 minutes and 400 texts on Telnyx~$6 USD
1 local number$1 USD
A per-seat app at ~$19 USD x 4$76 USD

Public Telnyx rates, September 2026, SMS carrier fees on top. The competitor figure is a public-pricing estimate, not a quote.

Conversion: $1 USD = $1.384 CAD (Bank of Canada, September 4, 2026). Telecom is billed in US dollars by your provider; Relay software is billed in Canadian dollars.
