Hiring a receptionist costs thousands a month and still only covers business hours. Vereo answers every call, day or night, books the appointment and sends you a summary, from $79+GST a month. Here is how they stack up.
Receptionist salary figures are indicative Australian full-time costs including on-costs.
We will be straight with you. A great receptionist who greets people in person, reads the room and handles delicate face-to-face moments is worth keeping. Vereo is not here to replace that. Most of our customers run Vereo alongside their team: it answers everything instantly, covers overflow and after-hours, books the routine appointments, and warm-transfers the calls that genuinely need a person. Your team stops drowning in the phone and gets back to the customers in front of them.
For answering, qualifying and booking calls, Vereo matches or beats a human receptionist on speed, availability and consistency, and never misses a call. A human still has the edge on complex in-person hospitality and nuanced face-to-face judgement, which is why many businesses use Vereo alongside their front desk rather than instead of it.
Vereo uses natural voices with sub-second response, so most callers have a normal conversation and never realise they are speaking with AI. You can also choose to disclose it.
Yes, and many businesses do. Vereo answers everything instantly, handles overflow and after-hours, and warm-transfers the calls that need a person to your team.
