Cloud telephony for real estate, recovered consultatively.
smrtPhone runs the cloud phone system real-estate investors rely on. When subscribers' cards fail mid-deal, generic dunning breaks the relationship. Revatto's consultative human-led recovery keeps customers in their pipeline — and on the line.
Recovery rate
The setup.
smrtPhone is the cloud phone system real-estate investors and operators run their entire deal-flow on — built natively for Citrix Podio. Subscribers are mid-acquisition when their card fails, and the cost of an unrecovered subscriber isn't just lost MRR — it's a real-estate operator who's about to make their next 50 outbound calls on someone else's platform. Revatto's consultative approach catches the failure before it becomes a switch.

The recovery story.
smrtPhone subscribers are deep in operator workflow — their cloud phone IS their business hours. When a card fails, the default Stripe email gets ignored under a flood of inbound calls. Within days, the operator has switched to a competitor and the deal flow keeps moving — just not on smrtPhone's rails.
Revatto reaches out as smrtPhone's team. The outreach explicitly is NOT automated dunning — every touch is consultative, human, and tries to understand why the customer is at risk. A real-estate operator gets a real conversation about whether the card update is a glitch or a deeper signal worth addressing.

Industry context
Standard automated dunning recovers 15–25% of failed B2B SaaS subscription payments. For tools that live deep in operator workflow (telephony, CRMs, deal flow), recovery windows tend to be tighter — operators switch to alternatives fast.
smrtPhone recovers 71.5% of failed payments — roughly 3× the industry baseline. The consultative approach catches subscribers before they switch.

In their words.
“A lot of systems out there are automated. Revatto's approach — with a real human touch and an understanding of why customers may not be paying or why they may be churning — really helped us out. It's consultative as well as giving us results.”
