Clockwork
by Beat the Clock · Naperville, IL
Never miss
a lead again.
Clockwork is the AI dispatch desk for home-service contractors. When a call slips past you on a job site, Tock texts the customer back in seconds, qualifies the work, and keeps following up until it's booked.
Mike Johnson · AC blowing warm air, wants someone out today
Hi Mike, it's Tock with Ridgeline Heating & Air. Sorry we missed your call. Is the AC blowing warm right now? I can have a tech out this afternoon.

Most contractors answer a new lead in hours.
Tock answers in seconds.
Roughly three quarters of jobs go to the first company that responds. Speed isn't a feature of Clockwork. It's the whole point. Nights, weekends, and 2 AM basement floods included.

A call slips past you

Everything we build ends up here
Beat the Clock already builds AI automations for businesses across Naperville and Illinois: lead routing, follow-up sequences, review collection, scheduling. Today those run as separate workflows.
When Clockwork launches, they all run through it. One AI system watching your whole pipeline instead of ten disconnected tools, and one place to see what it's earning you.
- Lead capture and instant response
- Quote follow-ups and win-backs
- Review requests after every job
- Scheduling and reminders
A note from the founder
"I was raised in Naperville and I'm heading into college still building here. I've spent the last few years automating one workflow at a time for local businesses, and I kept watching the same thing kill their week: a missed call that never got a callback. Clockwork is everything I've learned from those jobs, folded into one product. It gets built for Illinois contractors first, because they're the people I grew up around."
