TL;DR: Your AI receptionist is only as useful as the systems it connects to. VoiceFleet integrates with Dentally (dental practice management), Flipdish (AI receptionist for restaurants ordering), and other Irish business tools so calls become bookings, orders, and leads automatically — no copy-pasting between screens.
Why Do AI Receptionist Integrations Matter for Irish Businesses?
An AI receptionist that answers calls but can't do anything with the information is just a fancy voicemail. The real value comes when the AI acts on what callers say — booking appointments directly into your practice management system, creating orders in your POS, or adding leads to your CRM.
Irish businesses use specific software. Dental practices across Dublin, Cork, and Galway run on Dentally or SOE. Restaurants and takeaways use Flipdish, a proudly Irish platform serving thousands of food businesses. Generic AI solutions built for the US market don't connect to these tools.
That's the gap VoiceFleet fills: an AI receptionist built to work with the systems Irish businesses actually use.
How Does VoiceFleet Integrate with Dentally?
Dentally is the UK and Ireland's leading cloud-based dental practice management software. Over 2,000 practices use it, and it's growing fast in Ireland thanks to its modern interface and cloud-first approach.
What the integration does:
| Caller Says | AI Action | Dentally Result |
|---|---|---|
| "I'd like to book a check-up" | Checks available slots | New appointment created |
| "I need to cancel my Thursday appointment" | Finds the booking | Appointment cancelled, slot freed |
| "Can I reschedule to next week?" | Offers available times | Appointment moved |
| "I'm a new patient, I'd like to register" | Collects details | New patient record created |
| "My tooth is really sore, I need emergency help" | Flags as urgent | Emergency slot booked or escalated |
Technical details:
- Connection method: Dentally API (REST) — cloud-to-cloud, no on-premise software needed
- Real-time availability: The AI sees your actual diary, not a cached version
- Multi-practitioner support: "Would you prefer Dr. Murphy or Dr. O'Brien?" based on real availability
- Treatment type mapping: Check-ups, hygiene, emergency, cosmetic — each mapped to the right appointment length
For dental practices currently relying on a receptionist to manually check Dentally and book patients, this means every phone call becomes a booked appointment — even at 9 PM on a Sunday when a patient wakes up with a toothache.

How Does VoiceFleet Integrate with Flipdish?
Flipdish is Ireland's homegrown online ordering platform, used by thousands of restaurants, takeaways, and food businesses across the country — from fish & chip shops in Howth to pizza places in Galway's West End.
What the integration does:
| Caller Says | AI Action | Flipdish Result |
|---|---|---|
| "I'd like to order a large pepperoni pizza" | Builds order from menu | Order created in Flipdish |
| "Can I add garlic bread and a Coke?" | Adds items | Order updated |
| "Delivery to 42 Grafton Street" | Confirms delivery zone | Address attached to order |
| "What time will it arrive?" | Checks delivery estimate | Provides ETA |
| "I'd like to collect in 20 minutes" | Sets collection time | Collection order confirmed |
Technical details:
- Connection method: Flipdish API — direct integration with your existing menu and ordering system
- Menu sync: When you update prices or items in Flipdish, the AI knows immediately
- Upselling: Configurable prompts ("Would you like to add a side for €3.50?")
- Payment: Caller can pay by card over the phone or pay on delivery/collection
- Multi-location: For restaurant groups with multiple branches, the AI routes to the correct location
Phone orders still account for 30–40% of takeaway orders in Ireland, especially among older customers and those ordering for large groups. Without phone ordering capability, restaurants lose this segment entirely to competitors who pick up the phone.

How Hard Is It to Set Up These Integrations?
This is where most business owners expect the catch. Surely connecting an AI to your dental software or POS requires a IT consultant, weeks of setup, and a five-figure budget?
Not with VoiceFleet. Here's the actual process:
- Sign up and tell us what systems you use (5 minutes)
- Authorise the connection — typically clicking "Allow" in your Dentally/Flipdish/Google settings (2 minutes)
- Configure call flows — what happens when someone calls for a booking vs. a question vs. a complaint (15 minutes with our setup team)
- Test with real calls — we call your number and walk through scenarios (10 minutes)
- Go live — flip the switch and every call gets answered (instant)
Total setup time: under 1 hour for most businesses. No developer needed. No IT consultant. No downtime.

FAQ
Does VoiceFleet work if my dental practice uses SOE instead of Dentally?
Yes. VoiceFleet supports both Dentally and SOE (Software of Excellence). The integration approach differs slightly — SOE uses a local bridge connector while Dentally is fully cloud-based — but the end result is the same: real-time appointment booking directly from phone calls.
Can VoiceFleet handle a busy Friday night at my restaurant alongside Flipdish online orders?
Absolutely. The AI handles unlimited simultaneous calls, so even when 10 people ring at once during the dinner rush, every call is answered instantly. Phone orders go into Flipdish alongside your online orders, so your kitchen sees one unified queue — no confusion.
What if I use a system you don't currently integrate with?
We're constantly adding new integrations. If you use a system not listed, contact us — if there's an API available, we can typically build a custom integration within 2–4 weeks. For popular requests, we prioritise development based on demand from Irish businesses.
Is my patient/customer data secure through these integrations?
All integrations use encrypted connections (TLS 1.3) and we never store data longer than needed to complete the action. For dental practices, we're fully GDPR compliant and can sign a Data Processing Agreement. Your patient data stays in Dentally — we just create bookings and read availability.
Do I need to change my phone number to use VoiceFleet with my existing systems?
No. You keep your existing business phone number. VoiceFleet works via call forwarding or SIP trunking — we answer calls to your number, interact with callers, and push data into your systems. Your patients and customers call the same number they always have.
