“Anyone in?” Now you’ll know before the van leaves.

AnyoneIn is the AI agent that checks your customer will be in for any delivery that needs them: signed-for, age-checked, two-person, installs and collections. It asks by email, then text, then a natural phone call, and rebooks anyone who can’t make it.

Tonight on this street: 9 confirmed2 rebooked0 wasted trips

Illustrative

Illustration: a street at dusk. As each customer confirms, their window lights up amber, and the van only stops at the lit houses.

The knock nobody answers.

One missed knock costs the trip, the phone calls, the apology, a second trip, and sometimes the order.

For parcels, a failed delivery costs about £11.60, and a lost order about £147.1 Deliveries that need someone in cost far more.

Collections have it worse.

The customer isn’t home, or the item isn’t ready or boxed. The refund is delayed, the customer chases, and the returned stock loses value while it waits.

A failed delivery

One wasted trip, and a second one booked

  • Nobody in to sign
  • Crew slot wasted, redelivery booked
  • Complaint calls, goodwill

AnyoneIn confirms before the van leaves, and rebooks anyone who can’t make it.

How deliveries work

A failed collection

Everything stalls until someone sorts it

  • Customer not in
  • Item not boxed or not ready
  • Refund delayed, so the customer chases
  • Returned stock losing value while it waits

AnyoneIn checks someone’s home, the item’s ready and it’s the right item, for retailers and the carriers who collect.

How collections work

Today the fix is someone ringing round the day before.

Most teams handle this by calling customers the day before. It takes hours, and plenty of people don’t pick up calls from numbers they don’t recognise.

Illustrative Calling 40% of 4,800 jobs a month at 4 minutes each is 128 staff hours, before the voicemails and the call-backs.

And volumes keep growing: two-person delivery alone is up about 6.5% a year, against about 2% for wider retail.2

It starts with an email and only rings if it has to.

If the email gets no reply it sends a text, and if that goes unanswered it phones, always in sensible hours and on your brand. The call reaches the people who ignore texts, and it can rebook them there and then.

  1. Three days before

    Email

    A branded email with three one-tap buttons: I’ll be in, someone else will be in, I need a different day.

    Typical reply: Taps “Yes, I’ll be in to sign”

  2. Two days before, if there’s no reply

    Text

    A short text. They reply in their own words, and the agent understands.

    Typical reply: “At work but my partner Jo will sign”

  3. The day before, if there’s still nothing

    AI call The step others skip

    A natural phone call, in a British voice, that reaches the people who ignore texts. It confirms, rebooks or takes a name, and leaves a voicemail if a machine answers.

    Typical reply: “Tuesday’s no good. Could you do Thursday?”

  4. As soon as there’s an answer

    Outcome, back to you

    A clear outcome and the next action, in the console and in a signed webhook to your systems.

Any reply pauses the plan. A clear answer closes it.

Hear it rebook a delivery in under a minute.

Sam can’t do Tuesday, so the agent offers the slots you allow and books Thursday morning. It checks it’s speaking to the right person first, and only mentions the first line of the address.

  • Says it’s automated, up front and when asked
  • Confirms identity before sharing any details
  • A British voice, in plain British English
  • Restates the outcome, then lets them go

Customers reply however they like, and it still gets it right.

Someone else signing, Thursday instead of Tuesday, a question, a complaint or a STOP: the agent works out what each reply means, notes what your crew needs and takes the next step.

    “Yes, I’ll be in all morning”

    Will be in

It speaks for your brand and always says it’s an AI.

The rules it follows on every message and call.

Honest AI disclosure

Every call says it’s your automated assistant. Ask if it’s a person and it says no.

UK-built, UK-hosted

Built in the UK and hosted in the UK or EU on Google Cloud. We process data for you, under a DPA.

Quiet hours and opt-outs

Texts and calls only between 9am and 8pm, with STOP honoured on every channel. Built for UK rules: PECR and Ofcom’s guidance on calls.

A human when it matters

Complaints, damage and “can I speak to someone?” go straight to your team.

Security and compliance

Prove it on your own numbers.

We’re taking on a handful of UK retailers and carriers for a 60-day pilot, with a hold-out group so you can see the difference in your own numbers.

You get

  • A 60-day pilot with no platform fee
  • A hold-out group, so the result is provable
  • Set-up help and a weekly results report
  • A say in the roadmap, and founder pricing for 12 months

We ask

  • A weekly 20-minute check-in
  • An anonymised case study, if it works

Questions retailers ask us.

Anything else? Ask us

Will customers know it’s an AI?

Yes. Every call opens by saying it’s your automated assistant, and if a customer asks whether they’re talking to a person, it says it’s an AI and carries on helping. Emails and texts come from your brand, in your tone, and a person can always be reached.

What if a customer wants to speak to a person?

The agent tells them your team will call back, marks the job “wants a person”, and shows the next action in the console and in a signed webhook to your systems. Complaints, damage and refunds always go to a person.

Which carriers does it work with?

Any. AnyoneIn confirms with the customer before the job is handed to a crew, so it works from your order data through the API and webhooks, whoever delivers. Prebuilt connectors for delivery platforms are coming soon.

What does it cost?

You pay per job rather than per message: one delivery or collection, however many emails, texts and calls it takes. Our prices are published and depend on the job: indicatively £0.90 to £1.50 for a two-person, install or collection job, and £0.30 to £0.50 for a signed-for or age-checked delivery. The pilot has no platform fee for 60 days. See pricing

How long does it take to set up?

The integration is one API call per order, and one webhook endpoint to receive the results. During a pilot we set up your brand, tone and the slots it can offer with you. Prebuilt connectors for order systems such as Shopify are coming soon.

What data do you need?

Only what it takes to confirm: the customer’s name, mobile and email, the items, the date and window, the address, and the other slots it may offer. It’s hosted in the UK or EU on Google Cloud, and we act as your processor.
