Overview
Building the gold standard in home servicesSila Services operates more than 40 HVAC, plumbing, and electrical brands across the Northeast and Midwest. With 3,000+ employees and 1,200 technicians, Sila is redefining what a modern home-services platform looks like—backed by leading private equity and powered by best-in-class technology.But as Sila grew, so did call complexity. Thousands of daily inbound calls, inconsistent after-hours coverage, and decentralized playbooks meant revenue was leaking at the front line. To maintain its customer-first promise while scaling, Sila needed a new kind of workforce—one built on AI.
Before Avoca — Revenue Leaks
Even the strongest brands were losing opportunities before a job ever reached the board.
- Missed calls = missed revenue during peak hours and weekends.
- Long holds and voicemails eroded customer trust.
- 40+ brands, 40+ playbooks—no unified call standard.
- Manual QA covered only a fraction of interactions.
- Leadership lacked visibility into true booking performance.
When every call could mean thousands in revenue, Sila needed a scalable way to answer every call, measure every outcome, and replicate its best CSRs everywhere.
