Turn website visitors into local customers. IMSupporting helps small businesses answer questions, capture enquiries, take orders and hand off to a real person when needed, with free setup help to get you started.
UK-hosted, GDPR-ready, AI + human handoff, free setup support available.
Built for small and local UK businesses that need fast answers, real conversations and simple setup.
IMSupporting helps local businesses add live chat to their website, answer customer questions, capture enquiries, take orders, and connect chat to business systems where an integration is configured.
Whether you run a skip hire company, garage, takeaway, clinic, salon, local shop or trade service, website visitors often want a quick answer before they buy, book or enquire. Live chat gives them an easy way to ask about prices, availability, areas covered, delivery, bookings or next steps without waiting on hold.
You can start on the free live chat plan, add proactive chat invitations when visitors hesitate, and show different journeys using our chat widget examples.
Practical chat journeys for everyday local business questions, bookings and order requests.
A skip hire company could use IMSupporting to answer questions about skip sizes, delivery areas, permits, prices and availability. Where an ordering or booking integration is configured, the chat can help capture skip hire orders or pass the customer to the right team.
Help drivers ask about MOT slots, servicing, tyre fitting, diagnostics and opening times. AI can collect vehicle details first, then hand off to staff for quotes or booking follow-up.
Answer product questions, check local delivery options, guide customers through product choices and capture item requests. Where a stock or booking integration exists, chat can support that workflow.
Use chat to answer menu questions, allergy queries, delivery areas and opening hours. Where an ordering integration is configured, the conversation can help gather order details or route customers to the right next step.
Electricians, plumbers, locksmiths, roofers and repair companies can capture urgent enquiries, gather photos or job details, and send organised leads to the right engineer or office team.
Answer common questions about services, pricing and availability, collect appointment requests, and hand off to your team when a customer needs personal advice before booking.
We can help set up your live chat and work with you to connect it to your ordering, invoice, booking, stock or internal systems where technically possible. This is ideal for local businesses that want live chat to do more than just collect a message.

Move the conversation from automation to a real person when the enquiry needs a quote, judgement or follow-up.
Many local customers browse on their phone. Chat gives them a fast way to ask instead of searching for an email address.
Use the free plan to test live chat on your website, then grow into more automation and team features later.
IMSupporting gives local businesses a practical way to use AI without losing the human touch. AI can answer common questions, guide customers through the right questions and collect details before a staff member joins the chat.
This is useful for price questions, availability, booking details, product choices and support queries where speed matters but a human still needs to step in for the final answer or next action.
