The old way wastes hours
Locating inventory the old way means calling yard after yard, sitting on hold, leaving voicemails that never get returned. By the time you track down the part, the customer's already gone. A hotline flips that. Broadcast once, and every yard in your region hears it live.
How It Works
- Phone powers on. The preconfigured desk phone or web app registers with FreeSWITCH automatically and drops the member into their regional room.
- Always listening. Members hear every broadcast in their room in real time. No ringing, no answering. Audio flows like an open radio channel.
- Unmute to broadcast. Need a part? Unmute (off-hook on the desk phone, tap on mobile) and speak. Every member in the room hears it instantly.
- Response in seconds. A yard with the part unmutes to respond. Average response time across the network: 2 seconds. The deal happens live, on air.
Key Benefits
- Zero friction. No phone numbers to remember, no contacts to manage, no apps to open. The connection is just there.
- Regional rooms. 20+ rooms organized by geography. Members only hear broadcasts relevant to their area: California, Texas, Florida, and more.
- Automatic failover. If a connection drops, the system retries 5 times at 5-second intervals. Still down? It escalates to 15-minute, 30-minute, and 1-hour fallback attempts.
- Works while you work. The hotline runs in the background. Go about your day. You only tune in when you hear a part you've got.
Real-world: finding a 2019 Camry bumper
A body shop calls their local yard needing a 2019 Toyota Camry front bumper. The yard doesn't have it, so the rep picks up the hotline phone and says "Looking for a 2019 Camry front bumper, any color." Within 2 seconds, a yard 40 miles away responds: "I've got one, silver, $180." The deal is done before the body shop customer even sits down.
