Quotes drafted on your rates. Invoices chased in your words. Compliance never late. Government tenders scanned every morning. You never learn an app — it messages you, you reply YES or NO.
Tell us how you run — 10 min See how it worksTen minutes, plain answers: how work arrives, who does what, where the hours go. Our engine reads it and builds your plan — what you need, what gets built first, what it saves.
Photos of the real thing — quotes as sent, invoices, the texts you send customers, job photos, your rates. That's how your system learns to price like you and sound like you.
Live inside two weeks. Everything starts as a draft needing your word — and only earns autonomy when YOU say "stop asking." One text with your coffee, one on Friday with the numbers.
After-hours answered, missed calls texted back, bookings proposed for your YES. Your number stays yours.
Strata emails, builder portals, council POs — turned into jobs on the board automatically.
Voice note + photos from site → drafted on YOUR rates in YOUR words → chased until answered.
Invoices out on completion, overdues chased politely then firmly, payment-claim deadlines tracked to the letter of the Act.
"While you're here, can you just…" becomes a written, priced variation the same day. No more free work.
Notices, certs, SWMS packs, renewals — prepped, tracked, never late. One email answers any builder's "send us your docs."
Tender boards scanned every morning for jobs that fit you. Capability statement built. Responses drafted to 80%.
Morning job board on WhatsApp, job records from the photos your crew already takes, timesheets without the chase.
Every business gets a different mix — and the phone is never a paid add-on — a word-of-mouth sparkie needs the phone and the quotes; a commercial subbie needs the tenders and the compliance; a strata plumber needs the work orders. Your intake decides your build. That's the whole point.
No website, no ads — the phone is the whole business. Every missed call is a job that rang the next bloke. We catch the calls, draft the quotes, chase the money.
Portals, purchase orders, tenders, compliance packs. The work's good — the paperwork wall is the problem. We run the wall.
Strata managers and agents firing work orders all day, SLAs on everything. We turn every email into a scheduled, documented, invoiced job.
Our first build was for a 20-year, 10-person commercial plumbing & building company in Sydney. Their government-tender scanner went live on day one — checking 70+ tenders every morning, flagging only the ones that fit.
| Job-management software | Us | |
|---|---|---|
| Who does the work | You. You configure it, learn it, type into it — forever. There's a whole consulting industry charging ~$198/hr just to run this software for tradies. | We do. Set up AND run for you. You reply YES or NO. |
| What you learn | A new app, per feature, per update. The crew has to learn it too. | Nothing. It runs through WhatsApp, texts and email you already use. |
| Sounds like | Software templates. | You — built from your real quotes, texts and rates. |
| Pricing | Per user, per month, forever — plus your nights doing the admin anyway. | One flat monthly. No per-seat. No lock-in. |
| If it stuffs up | Support ticket. | Nothing sends without your YES — and a human (us) answers same day. |
| Walking away | Contracts, exports, exit fees on the big ones. | One click. You keep the number, the data, the rate book, the runbooks. |
No. That's the whole point. The system messages you on WhatsApp or text — you reply YES or NO. Your crew keeps sending the voice notes and photos they already send. If you can run a group chat, you can run this.
It can't — not without you. Everything starts as a draft that needs your word: quotes, invoices, chase messages, the lot. It only ever acts on its own after YOU say "stop asking me" for that exact task — and your best customers can be flagged so their messages always come past you first.
You own everything — your customer list, your rates, your numbers. We never sell data, never share it with anyone outside the tools that run your system, and if you leave, you take the lot and we delete our copies. Full detail in the Privacy Policy.
First pieces live inside two weeks of your paperwork landing with us. You'll see something real — usually your capability statement or your tender scanner — inside the first week.
All of them. Plumbing, electrical, carpentry, concreting, bricklaying, building, and every blue-collar trade in between. The intake works out how YOUR shop runs — word-of-mouth, commercial contracts, or strata work orders — and your build matches it.
Your module mix — built, run, watched and reported. A casual admin day a week costs $1,100–1,320 in Sydney and works 8 hours. This works around the clock, never calls in sick, and hands you a written receipt every Friday: money in, money chased, hours saved.
Then you shouldn't pay for it. That's the receipts guarantee: we measure your numbers before we start, and if 90 days of receipts don't cover the retainer, the month's free and you can walk — and keep everything we built.
Cancel any time, one click, month-to-month. You lose nothing — the phone number, the data, the rate book and the documented runbooks are yours and portable. We're the opposite of the lock-in contracts this industry is famous for.
