You didn't start a trades business
to spend your evenings doing paperwork.
Plumbers, electricians, builders, skip hire: the trades industry is one of the best fits for AI automation there is. We build tools that handle the admin, so you can focus on the work.
Trades businesses are drowning
in work they shouldn't be doing.
Here's what we hear from almost every trades business we speak to: they're busy. Often too busy. Work comes in spikes, a quiet week followed by a week where they can't keep up. And somewhere in between the actual jobs, there's a mountain of admin that only gets done late at night, if it gets done at all.
Quoting takes hours. Chasing enquiries falls through the cracks. Marketing is whatever happens when there's a quiet moment. Reporting on the business means trying to remember what happened last month.
None of that requires a skilled tradesperson. It requires time, and time is exactly what you don't have.
Written up late at night, slow to send, easy to get wrong when you're tired.
Work comes in waves. No system keeping a steady pipeline of enquiries coming in.
Enquiries go cold because there's no time to chase them between jobs.
No clear picture of what work is coming, what's been quoted, or what's been won.
"We used to spend hours a day quoting, normally late at night. Now it takes minutes."Elgan — Plumber, Berkshire
Quotes from voice notes, between jobs
Elgan runs a busy plumbing and heating business in Berkshire. Quoting was eating his evenings: slow to type, easy to make mistakes, and always left until he should have been switching off.
We built a system that lets him record a quick voice note between jobs, describing the work, materials, and time involved in plain language. The AI turns it into a professional, formatted quote, ready to send. No typing. No waiting until the evening.
- Voice note capture via mobile: works anywhere
- AI trained on how Elgan quotes, not just generic transcription
- Professional formatting, ready to send to customers
- Hours of admin reduced to minutes, every day
Automation built for
how trades businesses actually work.
We don't sell software licences or generic tools. We sit with you, understand how your business operates, and build something specific. Here's what that tends to look like for trades businesses.
Quoting automation
Speak a voice note, get a finished quote. Or describe a job on WhatsApp and have a professional quote ready before you're back in the van. No typing, no templates to fill in, no evenings lost to paperwork.
Lead generation
Monitoring planning permission portals, local business directories, and online enquiry channels, automatically flagging new opportunities before your competitors spot them. A steady pipeline without the manual legwork.
Enquiry handling
Missed calls and late-night enquiries answered automatically: in your tone, with your pricing, capturing the information you need. No lead goes cold because you were on a job.
Business reporting
A clear picture of what's been quoted, won, and in the pipeline, without manually pulling data from three different places. Know where your business stands without spending a Sunday evening on spreadsheets.
Not technical?
That's fine. Neither are most of our clients.
The trades businesses we work with are brilliant at what they do. Most of them are not, and have no interest in being, technical. That's not a problem. It's the whole point.
You don't need to understand how any of this works. You just need to see it working. We handle everything from the first conversation to a live, running system. No jargon. No asking you to learn new software. No long drawn-out projects.
Most trades clients have something working within a week of picking up the phone. Many say they wish they'd done it sooner.
Three steps.
Real results.
We understand your business
A conversation, not a presentation. We want to know how your business actually runs, what's eating your time, and where you're losing leads or money. No need to have the answers before you call.
We build something specific
A working solution built around how you operate, not a generic tool you have to adapt to. Fast, practical, and built to integrate with what you already use. Typically live within a week.
Your business runs smarter
The system handles the work. You get time back. Your pipeline becomes more predictable. And your competitors start wondering how you're doing it.
