The service

What we run for you

  • Customers kept in the loop

    Arrival times and reschedules go out before the customer has to call you.

  • Follow-up that gets done

    Finished jobs, open estimates and maintenance visits all get a call back.

About Backline

One focus: your dispatch desk

Backline does one thing: dispatch and call handling for HVAC and plumbing companies. We are a small firm by design, so every account has a named operator and a direct line to the founder.

The company is led by Bojan, an engineering lead with 12 years in payment systems for financial services, where a missed message costs money. Our operators work from Serbia on your business hours and speak fluent English. More about us

Founding partner program

A small first group, run by the founder

We are onboarding a small number of founding HVAC and plumbing partners. Founding partners work directly with the founder, on founding terms, and help shape how the service runs.
