The quoting problem for tradies
On the tools all day, quoting all night. You're up a ladder or under a sink when the enquiries land — a website form, an SMS, a missed call, a Facebook message. The lead almost always goes to whoever quotes first, and right now that's rarely you, because the quote can't happen until you're back at the ute with the laptop.
So your evenings disappear into paperwork: digging through supplier prices, working out labour, writing it up, sending it off. By the time your quote lands the next morning, the customer has often already accepted someone faster. The work isn't the problem — the lag between enquiry and quote is.
How on-the-spot quoting works
Our AI instant quoting system, built on n8n, closes that gap. A lead comes in, gets priced against your own numbers, and a professional quote goes back out in seconds — 24/7, whether you're working, driving, or asleep.
Customer texts or photos the job
The request arrives however it comes — website form, SMS, phone, or an Instagram or Facebook message — often with a photo of the job.
The AI reads it
It interprets the request in plain language, works out what the job actually involves, and pulls out the details that affect price.
It matches your materials & labour
The job is priced against your own material & pricing library, with your labour rates and margins applied — so the number is accurate, not a guess.
A priced quote goes out in seconds
A clean, professional quote lands with the customer 24/7 — usually before a competitor has even seen the enquiry.
Accept → invoice
When the customer accepts, an invoice is created automatically. If they don't, automated follow-ups keep the quote alive until they decide.
Speed wins the job
For tradies, the first accurate quote almost always wins. When your enquiry-to-quote time drops from hours to seconds, you're the one the customer hears from first — every time, day or night, without giving up your evenings.
Built for your trade
The pricing engine runs on a material & labour library built around how your trade actually quotes. We set up the right items, rates, and rules for the work you do:
- Plumbing & gas — fittings, fixtures, materials and call-out plus labour, priced per common job type
- Electrical — points, switchboards, cabling and fittings matched to typical jobs with your labour rates
- Building & carpentry — materials, fix-out and labour for renovations, repairs and fit-outs
- Landscaping — materials, plants, hardscaping and labour priced by area and scope
Each trade gets its own material & labour library, so the quotes that go out reflect your real costs and margins — not a generic template.
Missed-call text-back → instant quote
When you can't pick up, the system texts the caller back within seconds and starts a conversation about the job. As soon as it has enough detail, the same pricing engine kicks in and sends a quote — turning a missed call into a priced job offer instead of a lost lead. You get the full details handed to you, ready to go.
Quote = invoice, get paid faster
Because the quote is already itemised against your pricing library, the invoice writes itself. The moment a customer accepts, an invoice is auto-created from the accepted quote — no re-keying, no end-of-week catch-up, no forgotten jobs. You finish the work and the paperwork is already done, so you get paid faster.
Quotes that aren't accepted aren't dropped either — automated follow-ups chase them politely on a schedule, so jobs don't slip through the cracks while you're busy.
How we set it up
We build the whole system around your business so it quotes the way you would:
- We load your material & pricing library and set your labour rates and margins
- We connect your channels — website form, SMS, phone, Instagram and Facebook
- We tune the quote format and wording to match your brand
- We wire up auto-invoicing on acceptance and automated follow-ups for the rest
- We test it on real job types with you before it goes live
Most setups are live quickly, and you stay in control — every quote follows your numbers and your rules.
