YOUR OUTSOURCED TRADES TECH DEPARTMENT

A trades operator who builds the software that gets you off the laptop by dinner.

I've run service businesses for years, so I know exactly why your admin is broken, and I've built the fix for my own. Custom software that ends the second shift, the quoting and invoicing that piles up once the tools are down. It starts where you bleed most: the quote you finish at 10pm.

From $1,50010 business daysFull deposit back if I miss the specJust me, so a handful of builds a month

Rather start with a quick paid win? Never Miss a Call answers the job you miss on the tools, $165/mo inc GST. Full pitch below.

Quoting eats your Sundays.

You're the dispatch system.

Jobs live across texts, calendars, whiteboards, and your memory. Sundays in the office re-keying everything into Xero.

04 · PROFIT

You can't see margin until month-end.

Three days into the bathroom strip-out, you don't know if you're still in profit. The number lands when the loss is already locked in.

If it can't pick up, the text-back still fires with your booking link. It's the cheapest and fastest of these fixes to switch on, and free on Ops Care Standard and Pro.

Keep the tools you already use.
Fix the gaps around them.

Already running ServiceM8, Tradify, Simpro, Fergus, Xero, WordPress, or spreadsheets? Good. I don't force a software migration. I build the missing workflow around the tools you already use.

  WHAT YOU GET BACK

What a finding actually looks like.

The written finding you'd get back about your business is shaped like this. Three things, ranked, each one specific enough to argue with. These are illustrative, not real prospects. It's trades only here, so nothing in the row is agency portfolio padding.

Electrical contractor, 9 on the tools
What I found

Quotes are sent as PDFs from a phone, with no way to accept online. The customer has to print, sign, and email back.

What I'd fix first

A quote that accepts itself, takes a deposit, and creates the job, without the customer printing anything.

Domestic cleaning business, around 6 cleaners
What I found

Bookings only happen during office hours, but most of their enquiries land between 7pm and 10pm.

What I'd fix first

A booking page that takes the job while the owner sleeps.

Small clinic, two practitioners
What I found

Reception spends two hours a day on the phone answering "what time is my appointment?" calls.

What I'd fix first

A reminder system that texts the answer before the customer phones.
