workshops & installers
Your hands are working, and meanwhile the phone rings out.
Plumbers, electricians, workshops, installers: you know the trade. What's missing is someone who answers, quotes and keeps things in order — without hiring someone to do it.
Where value is lost
The sector's three typical holes
Calls while you're on the job
On a roof, under a car, on site: answering is impossible, calling back at night is late. And the urgent customer has already called the next name on the list.
Quotes at night, at home
The best hours go to the site, the quotes get written at night: they go out slow, and whoever arrives first takes the job.
Appointments and papers in disorder
Jobs to remember, invoices to issue, warranties and documents scattered: administrative disorder costs more than a part-time employee.
The small stuff too
The nuisances nobody puts in a quote
It's not the big problems that wear you down: it's these. A well-built system switches almost all of them off in passing, while solving the big one.
- The customer calling three times because "I didn't know if you'd seen the message"
- The job photos taken for yourself and never used to get known
- The material warranty to dig up two years later, in some drawer
- The "roughly how much?" that deserves an answer and never gets one
- Appointments written on the paper calendar in the van
- The whole week's invoicing done on Sunday
The typical system
What I install, in practice
It starts with one piece — the Pilot, in production in 14 days with a written guarantee — and widens only when the numbers justify it.
- An AI answering service that never misses: collects the problem, urgency and contact details
- From the enquiry to a draft quote automatically, polished in 5 minutes
- A jobs diary with confirmations and reminders for customers
- Periodic maintenance reminders: boilers, systems, services
- Job photos and documents filed per project
- Invoices and paperwork prepared automatically at job end
It connects to what you already use
Equipment and investments
What might be worth buying — and what isn't
Almost everything runs on the devices you already own. When a purchase is needed, I tell you at the check-up, with real figures, before starting — never mid-project.
Might be needed
- A scanning app on your phone (free)delivery notes, warranties and documents photographed properly and filed per job, straight from the van
- A decent bluetooth earpieceurgencies passed through by the system can be taken even with your hands busy
- A PC or tablet at home/office (if the current one struggles)quotes and invoices in 5 minutes in the evening instead of an hour
Usually NOT needed
- Software built for a structured workshop: for one or two people it's oversized
- The expensive website: a curated Google listing + WhatsApp is worth more
- A physical switchboard: your usual number connects to the system as it is
If someone is selling it to you as indispensable, ask them why — or ask me at the check-up.
Before spending
The three mistakes I see most often
In your sector, money is usually wasted before calling someone like me. If you're about to do one of these three things, pause for a moment.
Paying thousands for a website: for a tradesperson, a curated Google listing plus a WhatsApp that answers is worth more.
Buying software made for a structured workshop: for one or two people it's more paperwork, not less.
Keeping on quoting at night: every evening spent on quotes is a job handed to whoever replies first.
How it starts
Three moments, no leap in the dark
Check-up
I count a week's missed calls and measure how long a quote takes to go out.
Pilot
The AI answering service: two weeks, and no enquiry is lost again — with the urgent ones reaching you at once.
Steady state
Then quotes and maintenance reminders: the office work does itself, you stay in the field.
Real questions
What people in your trade always ask
My customers are used to talking to me
And they will keep doing so: the system takes the request when you can't, passes you the urgencies and prepares your call-back list. Better an instant answer than a lost one.
I'm not good with technology
You don't need to be: the system works behind the phone number and the WhatsApp you already have. I hand it over working, with a half-hour walkthrough together.
What does it cost compared to a secretary?
We make that comparison with your numbers at the check-up: the system usually costs a fraction of a part-timer and never goes on holiday. But first we measure, then you decide.
The general questions — costs, timing, data, guarantee — are in the full FAQ.

The check-up for a tradesperson counts two things: missed calls and quotes going out late. That's almost always where the money is left on the table.
And it stays yours even if nothing comes of it: it's the most honest way I know to introduce myself.
