Automation for home services & trades

You are under a sink. The phone rings. That job goes to someone else.

For trades and field service businesses the core problem is structural: the person who does the work cannot answer the phone while doing it. Every missed call is a lost job, and the fastest quote usually wins. Automation solves both without hiring an office.

If you run this kind of business, you know these

Calls are missed during jobs and rarely called back in time.

Quotes take days because they need a site visit and an evening at a laptop.

Scheduling and route planning happen over WhatsApp and in your head.

Invoices go out late and payments get chased even later.

6 systems

What we build for home services & trades

Each one is described as the problem, the system, and what actually changes. All of it is built to your specifics — these are the patterns, not a menu.

01

Missed-call capture and rescue

The problem

Calls during jobs go unanswered and the customer immediately calls a competitor.

The system we build

Every missed call triggers an instant WhatsApp or text asking what they need, an agent qualifies the job type, urgency and location, and books the visit or escalates a genuine emergency to your phone.

Missed calls stop being lost jobs.

02

Instant quoting for standard work

The problem

Routine jobs still wait days for a quote, by which point the customer has booked someone else.

The system we build

Standard job types are priced from your own rate card based on described scope and photos, sent instantly as a branded quote with terms, and escalated to you only when the job is non-standard.

You quote first, which is usually how you win.

03

Scheduling and route-aware dispatch

The problem

Jobs are assigned by memory and technicians criss-cross the city.

The system we build

Confirmed jobs are assigned by skill, availability and geography, routes are sequenced sensibly, and customers get accurate arrival windows with live updates.

More jobs per day, less time driving.

04

Job updates and completion records

The problem

Customers call asking where the technician is, and job records are photos on a phone.

The system we build

Automatic "on the way" and "arriving in 15 minutes" messages go out, while technicians capture photos, parts used and notes on site that flow straight into the job record and invoice.

Fewer status calls, complete records.

05

Invoicing and payment follow-up

The problem

Invoices are written in the evening and chased reluctantly.

The system we build

Invoices generate from completed job details and send immediately with a payment link, followed by an escalating reminder sequence until paid, with a receivables dashboard for you.

Paid faster, without awkward calls.

06

Local visibility and service-area pages

The problem

You only rank in the one suburb your address sits in.

The system we build

Genuinely useful service-by-area pages are built and maintained, Google Business Profile is kept active with posts and photos, and review requests go to every satisfied customer automatically.

Enquiries from across your whole service area.

Questions

Automation for home services & trades

I am a one-person business. Is this worth it?

Missed-call capture alone usually pays for itself, because a single recovered job is often worth more than the system costs to run. Most solo trades start there.

Can it quote accurately without seeing the job?

For standard work with photos and a clear description, yes — from your own rate card. Anything unusual is deliberately routed to you rather than guessed at.

My technicians are not technical. Will they use it?

The field side is deliberately minimal — a few taps and photos on a phone. If it is harder than what they do now, they will not use it, so we design for that.
