Missed calls

The phone rang. Nobody picked up. The customer called the next firm.

Threll answers in Norwegian around the clock – when your hands are full at 11.30, and when nobody is in the office at 21.40. It judges urgency, takes down the details and alerts whoever is on call. You set it up yourself in the console in an afternoon – with help from us if you want it.

The problem

The call you don't know you lost

Most firms in this trade know how many jobs they won. Almost none know how many enquiries never became a conversation. The call that came in while your hands were full – in the middle of the day or late in the evening – exists in no system. It exists only with the customer, who called the next firm on the list and got an answer there.

Voicemail takes it

Few leave a message when it's urgent. Most call the next number on the list.

The on-call phone takes everything

The same person is woken for a burst pipe and a price question alike. The rotation wears down, and response gets worse over time.

The answering service takes a message

You pay per call for a summary. The customer still doesn't know whether anyone is coming.

None of the three answers the question the customer is actually asking: is anyone coming?

The arithmetic

Run the numbers with your own figures

Three numbers is all it takes. How many calls go unanswered in a month – whether you're mid-job, mid-treatment or mid-driving-lesson, or it's evening and weekend – how many of them would have become a job, and what an average job is worth.

288,000 kr a year – straight into your competitor's pocket

You're losing roughly 24,000 kr a month across 4 jobs. Threll costs 699 kr a month – the subscription pays for itself the second the agent saves the year's very first patient, pupil or job.

We don't know your numbers. You probably don't either – and that is the whole point. The trial week gives you the actual count, whether or not you choose us afterwards.
Setup

Five steps you do yourself in the console. You keep your number, your operator and your setup, and need no integration. If you get stuck, we help for free.

    The agent answers and sorts

    It introduces itself as an AI assistant for the firm, hears what has happened, asks the follow-up questions you wrote yourself – and decides urgency by your rules.

    The right person gets the right message

    Urgent: the call is put through to one of you, or the right person gets an SMS with a summary and a number immediately. Not urgent: a summary by email, and the caller is told when you'll ring back.

AGENT

Frisk Fysioterapi, you're speaking with an AI assistant. How can I help?

CUSTOMER

Hi, I've got lower back pain and I'm wondering whether you have anything free this week.

AGENT

We'll sort that out. Have you been to us before, or is this your first time?

CUSTOMER

First time.

AGENT

Then I'll set aside a double slot for a first assessment. Thursday at 13, or Friday at 9?

CUSTOMER

Thursday suits best.

AGENT

Thursday at 13 with Marit. Can I use the number you're calling from for the SMS confirmation?

CUSTOMER

Yes, that's fine.

AGENT

That's booked. You'll get a confirmation now and a reminder the day before. Do come ten minutes early so you have time for the form.

Do compare

A human answering service typically charges 25–50 NOK per answered call. A lost customer costs you the whole sale.

Assurance

What your customer hears, and what you need to be able to answer

Five questions you will get – from a customer, a board chair or a procurement officer. The answers are the same on every plan.

01

The agent says it is an AI assistant

It happens in the first sentence. It is a requirement under the EU AI Act – and it is also what makes customers accept it.

02

Norwegian and European data storage

Call data is processed within the EEA. A data processing agreement is standard, not an add-on.

03

Telephony on Telenor SIP infrastructure

The same network as the rest of Norwegian business telephony. No detour across the public internet.

04

You own the data

Export or delete whenever you want. You set the retention period yourself.

05

On-prem and sovereign hosting exist

For those who must have it. Most firms in this segment don't need it – tell us if you do.

Objections

What you're going to ask about

Can't find the answer? Call us on +47 24 12 66 30.

Yes, and they're told straight away – the agent says so itself in the first sentence. Our experience is that people accept it when they actually get help. The alternative they're comparing it with isn't a human; it's voicemail.

You set the rules for what happens in case of doubt. The default is that uncertain cases are treated as urgent and transferred to the on-call engineer. The whole call is transcribed in the dashboard, so you see exactly what was said.

No. Threll is wired in as forwarding on no answer, busy or outside opening hours. You keep your number, your operator and your setup. If you have Mobilt Bedriftsnett or Telia Bedriftsnett, this is a menu option in your admin panel.

You do it yourself: the forwarding takes ten minutes, and writing what the agent should ask about and what counts as urgent typically takes half an hour in the console. If you'd like one of us on a screen share, it costs nothing.

Yes. Norwegian, Swedish and Danish are specially trained, and the agent handles 70 more languages – it switches mid-call if the caller does.

You keep it. Threll becomes the first line: it catches everything, and only passes on what genuinely needs a call-out.

Turn the forwarding off. No lock-in, no notice period on the trial.

Nothing. You create the account yourself, run one week on your own number and have your own numbers afterwards.
