Replify AI handles over 5,000 calls and saves 178 staff hours for SWEAT440 fitness franchise
SWEAT440's front desk-less model kept instructors on the training floor at all times, making in-studio call handling impossible. As the franchise expanded to 25 locations with over 120 more in development, routine question volume grew across the network, the contracted call center became costly, and response consistency varied across studios.

Outcome
In the first six weeks, Replify AI handled over 5,000 calls and saved 178 staff hours. Support costs fell by roughly 53%, instructors remained focused on coaching, and SWEAT440 gained a unified support layer prepared for rapid network expansion.
What failed first
The contracted call center could not scale cost-effectively with the growing franchise; costs rose and multi-unit franchisees felt the impact as operations expanded, until the system's limits were exposed.
