Revalio and hiring an office administrator

Hire for the office when you are ready. Revalio does the inbox part now.

An office administrator costs around £24,000 a year, plus the weeks it takes to find one, and the inbox is only part of what they do. Revalio does the inbox part now, from £149 a month: it answers the enquiry, chases the quote and keeps the customer record, so the person you do hire starts with nothing waiting.

What hiring an office administrator does

  • Answer the phone and the door
  • Raise invoices, order materials, chase suppliers
  • Keep the diary and the paperwork
  • Use judgement on the unusual

What it does not, and Revalio does

  • Watch every open quote and chase each one on schedule, every day
  • Answer the enquiry that lands at 9pm
  • Start with the last six months of enquiries already recorded
  • Show you a monthly statement of what their replies brought back

Using both

Hire for the phone, the paperwork and the judgement, when you are ready. Let Revalio carry the enquiries and the quotes in the meantime, and hand the new person a customer record that is already filled in.

How Revalio works, whichever tools you keep

  1. Connect the inbox your enquiries land in. Gmail or Microsoft 365, read access to the folders you choose.
  2. Revalio watches every enquiry and quote and flags what has gone quiet, with the evidence from the thread.
  3. It drafts the reply or the chase; you approve with one tap. Anything with a price or a promise always waits for you.
  4. Approved messages go from your own address, and a monthly statement shows what came back.

Questions

How does the arithmetic work?
A £24,000 salary is £2,000 a month before employer costs. The entry plan is £149 a month, so a month of an administrator costs more than a year of Revalio. That is the inbox half of the job only; Revalio does not answer the phone or do the books.
We are hiring anyway. Is there still a point?
Yes. Revalio has usually been reading the inbox for weeks before a new starter arrives, so they inherit every open quote, every enquiry and the thread behind each one instead of a blank screen.
Can it answer the phone?
No. Revalio works in email only.
