A one-man commercial maintenance business owner needs to automate emergency work order intake and dispatch to reduce reliance on his wife as backup and ensure issues are handled when he is unavailable.

Existing solutions lack affordable, simple automated emergency call handling and work order creation for a solo operator with low call volume, forcing reliance on personal cell phone and manual backup via spouse.
