Industry
Less paperwork between jobs.
The trade gets done on site. The business gets done in the ute, at the kitchen table, and in the ten minutes between jobs — and that's exactly where enquiries, quotes and invoices fall through.
The tradie admin trap
A busy trade business can be simultaneously flat-out and leaking money: missed calls that never become quotes, quotes that never get chased, jobs finished but not invoiced for a week, and great work that never turns into a Google review. None of it is a skills problem. It's what happens when the office is a phone and the filing system is a head.
Fixes that fit how trades actually work
- Missed call or web enquiry → logged automatically, customer acknowledged, call-back task created
- Quote sent from the ute → follow-up reminders fire themselves over the next two weeks
- Job marked done → invoice prompt, then a review request while the customer's still delighted
- Materials and job notes → captured by voice or photo, filed against the job, not lost
- Weekly view → which quotes are open, which jobs are unbilled — without a spreadsheet night
Phone-first, not desk-first
Everything we set up for trade businesses has to work one-handed on a phone in a driveway, or it won't be used. That constraint shapes the tools chosen — simple forms, message-based triggers, and automations that ask for the minimum possible input at the moment of action.
