About Cactus
Summary
Cactus builds an AI-powered call center for home service businesses, covering trades such as HVAC, plumbing, and roofing. The system answers inbound calls around the clock, qualifies callers, schedules jobs, and runs follow-up outreach, replacing the work of a human dispatch and customer-service team. Business owners capture leads and re-engage past customers without adding headcount.
Business model
A subscription or per-seat fee charged to home service businesses, with a demo-first sales entry point.
Go-to-market
Cactus targets small and mid-sized trade contractors directly, bringing them in through a book-a-demo flow on the website and a free revenue-leak diagnostic to convert owners into paying customers.
