Set up for the business you actually run

Tell us what kind of business it is and the team starts on the jobs that eat your week, in your words. For a plumber that means quote follow-ups and progress claims, and for a cafe it's function enquiries and a surcharge checklist before Labour Day. Nothing goes out until you've read it.

1

Pick your industry

Twelve to choose from, or the general setup. It changes the words on your menu and the jobs on offer, and you can change it later.

2

Choose the weekly jobs

Each one is a single agent on a schedule. Untick anything you'd rather keep doing yourself.

Read the drafts on Home

The team writes the follow-ups, reminders and replies. You check them, copy them and send them from your own email.

The weekly jobs

  • Quote follow-upsDaily at 08:00 your time

    Nudges quotes with no reply after 2 days, biggest first. New enquiries get answered first.

    Friendly at 7 days, firmer at 14. Anything past 30 comes to you to ring.

  • Reviews and job confirmationsDaily at 16:00 your time

    Thank-yous with a review ask, tomorrow's arrival times, and an LBP record-of-work reminder.

  • Big quotes and claimsWednesdays at 09:00 your time

    Quotes over NZ$10,000, progress claims due, and retentions ready for release.

  • Seasonal check-insoff to startFridays at 10:00 your time

    Past clients due a heat pump service or a gutter clean.

  • Monday summaryMondays at 07:00 your time

    Five lines: quotes, money owed, claims, jobs this week, and the one thing to do first.

What it won't do: Never chases a construction payment claim or drafts a legal notice. It flags them for you.

The Trades jobs as an owner sees them when signing up

The real sign-up screen for Trades. “Off to start” jobs are marketing, so you switch them on once you know who has agreed to hear from you.

What lands on Home

A real run on a test plumbing business: three quotes and a new enquiry in, three drafts out, biggest quote first, signed off as the owner. Copy is the only button, because the team doesn't send anything itself.

What the team can see, and what it can't yet

Every job says plainly when it's missing something, then does what it can with the rest. We'd rather tell you that here than have you find out in week two.
