Can Voksha reschedule sessions when a tutor calls out or cancels at the last minute?

Not proactively: Voksha does not make outbound calls or text families (texting callers is Enterprise-only, and Enterprise reminder calls only cover appointments already booked), so your coordinator still reaches out when a tutor cancels. Tutor cancellations are common, especially with part-time tutors who are also college students or working other jobs, and where Voksha helps is the flood of inbound calls that follows: when affected families call, it answers, explains the cancellation, captures which alternative times work for them, with the same tutor or a different qualified tutor covering the same subject and grade level, and alerts your coordinator so the change gets made fast. This matters because a canceled session left unresolved is a double loss: the family feels let down and may question reliability, and the revenue from that hour is gone if it is not rebooked. Rather than a coordinator playing phone tag with five families whose Tuesday sessions just opened up, every family that calls in gets answered and their preferences arrive in one place, so the coordinator can rebook quickly instead of leaving the gap empty. The same applies to family-side cancellations: when a family calls to cancel, Voksha alerts your team that the slot is open, and if a waitlisted family calls asking about openings, Voksha can tell them what is free (and book it on Premium), which is especially useful during test-prep season when demand regularly exceeds available slots. The net effect is fewer completely wasted tutor hours and fewer families left without a session they were counting on, both of which directly protect revenue and retention in a business where a single missed weekly session can be the reason a family looks elsewhere.
