AI for Tradies: Automating Quotes, Calls and Follow-Ups

For Australian tradies, the biggest obstacle to growth isn't a lack of work—it's the mountain of admin that comes with it. Between being on-site, managing a team, and trying to win new jobs, things often slip through the cracks. AI is the "digital apprentice" that handles your calls, quotes, and follow-ups, so you can focus on the job at hand.

1. Never Miss a Call Again
You're on a roof or under a sink, and the phone rings. If you don't answer, that customer is calling the next tradie on Google. An AI Receptionist answers every call, captures the job details, and sends you a text with the lead info. See how this fits the broader trades & construction use case.
2. Automated Quote Follow-Up
How many quotes have you sent that just... disappeared? AI can automatically follow up with customers after you've sent a quote. It can send a text 2 days later asking if they have questions, and an email 5 days later with a special offer or a link to book.
3. Hands-Free Site Visit Scheduling
Stop the back-and-forth of "Are you free Tuesday at 2?". AI can check your calendar and offer available slots to customers directly via chat or SMS, booking the site visit and sending you a calendar invite automatically.
4. A CRM That Actually Works for You
Most tradies hate CRMs because they're too much work. We build automated CRM systems that capture everything from your phone calls, website forms, and emails into one place, supported by business process automation. You can see exactly which jobs are open, which are quoted, and which are invoiced.
