Why Chekkit Calling Was the Major Missing Piece in the Chekkit Platform (Coming Soon)

At Chekkit, we’ve always believed something simple but overlooked:

Local businesses don’t live behind a desk — they live on their phones.

Most conversations don’t happen in an office. They happen in trucks, showrooms, job sites, and shop floors. Every quote, every question, every sale happens while teams are on the move.

Chekkit was built to be the invisible operating system of a local business’s day — reducing friction and keeping communication simple. But one part of the customer journey still lived outside that experience:

Phone calls.

And that gap has become impossible to ignore.

Why Calling Became Impossible to Ignore

Businesses kept telling us the same thing:

“Customers text us, then call us, then text again… but the call lives in a completely different world.”

Messages, reviews, payments, follow-ups, automations — all of it already lived inside Chekkit.

But calls?

They sat in a disconnected space with:

• No customer context
• No shared history
• No link to conversations
• No visibility for managers

Teams were forced to juggle two tools to manage one customer relationship.

This became the biggest workflow bottleneck for local businesses — costing time, clarity, and revenue.

Eventually, it wasn’t just feedback. It was a mandate:

Calling needed to be part of Chekkit.

Traditional Phone Systems Just Aren’t Working

Most phone systems used by SMBs were designed for an era of landlines and office desks.

Local businesses today operate very differently — mobile, distributed, and fast-paced.

Traditional systems fall short because they:

• Don’t show caller context
• Don’t connect calls to customer history
• Don’t sync with quotes or follow-ups
• Force staff to jump between apps
• Offer no automation
• Offer no AI assistance
• Create blind spots that cost revenue

And they cost more than they should.

Cost Comparison: Why Traditional Systems Cost More

‍Traditional Phone Systems:

$50–$100+ per line per month

Modern VoIP systems:

$29–$49 per month (plus internet you already pay for)

Chekkit Calling will help businesses simplify their tech stack and free up budget for growth — not overhead.

How Chekkit Calling Will Work

We’re building Chekkit Voice with the same philosophy behind every Chekkit feature:

Simple. Seamless. Unified.

When someone calls your business, you’ll soon be able to:

• See exactly who’s calling
• View their entire conversation, review, and payment history
• Switch between call ↔ text instantly
• Automatically text every missed call

Calls will no longer live in a separate system.

They’ll finally become part of the customer thread.
