Every Missed Call Is a Job Going to Another Plumber

The average plumber misses 5-8 calls per day while on the tools. At $400-$2,000 per job, that is $8,000-$40,000 in lost revenue every month — straight to the plumber who picks up their phone.

Missing calls while under a house or elbow-deep in a blocked drain means losing emergency jobs to the plumber who answers first
Quote follow-up delays letting warm leads go cold — customers call three plumbers and book the one who responds fastest
Scheduling chaos between emergency call-outs and planned maintenance causing double-bookings and angry customers
Invoicing delays after job completion — chasing payments weeks later instead of collecting on the spot
Compliance paperwork for backflow prevention, gas fitting, and plumbing certificates eating into productive hours
Losing high-value jobs to competitors simply because their phone gets answered and yours goes to voicemail

How AI Transforms Your Plumbing Business

Built for tradies, not tech companies. Our AI understands plumbing work and speaks your language.

01

Plumbing Business Audit

We analyse your plumbing operation from missed calls to delayed invoices. We map your workflow — call patterns, quoting process, scheduling methods, and compliance requirements — to find every area where AI saves you time and money.

02

AI System Configuration

We set up your AI phone system, quoting engine, scheduling tools, and invoicing automation. Everything is configured for plumbing work — correct terminology, common job types, emergency triage protocols, and your specific service area.

03

On-Site Training

Your team learns the system on real jobs, not in a classroom. We train plumbers to use the mobile app on-site, show admin staff the scheduling dashboard, and ensure the AI phone system knows your services, pricing, and emergency protocols.

04

Measure & Grow

Monthly reports show exactly how many more calls you are answering, how much faster quoting has become, and how many additional jobs you are completing. We refine the AI based on real data from your plumbing business.

AI Features Built for Plumbers

Every tool designed for plumbers who spend their day on job sites, not behind a desk.

24/7 AI Call Answering

Never miss a call again — whether you are under a house or driving between jobs. AI answers with your business name, qualifies the enquiry, provides estimates for common jobs, and books appointments into your calendar.

Smart Job Scheduling

AI schedules jobs considering technician skills, location clustering, equipment on the van, and customer urgency. Emergency call-outs slot in without blowing up the rest of your day. Automatic rescheduling when jobs overrun.

Quote Follow-Up Automation

AI sends professional quotes within minutes of the enquiry and follows up automatically. No more customers going cold because you were too busy to chase. Conversion tracking shows exactly which quotes convert and why.

Emergency Priority Routing

AI triages incoming calls instantly — burst pipes, gas leaks, and sewage overflows get routed to your emergency number immediately. Non-urgent requests are booked for the next available slot. Customers get the right response every time.

Invoice & Payment Automation

Invoices are generated the moment a job is marked complete. AI calculates materials, labour, and call-out fees automatically. Send professional invoices from your phone before you leave the property — dramatically improving cash flow.

Compliance Documentation

Automatically generate plumbing compliance certificates, backflow prevention test reports, and gas fitting documentation. AI tracks which certificates are required for each job type and ensures nothing is missed during busy periods.

Customer Communication Portal

Customers get real-time updates on technician arrival times, job progress, and completion. Automated appointment reminders reduce no-shows. Post-job follow-up requests reviews at the perfect moment for maximum response rates.

Review & Referral System

AI requests Google reviews after every completed job, times the request for when customer satisfaction is highest. Automated referral tracking rewards customers who send friends and family your way. Build a 5-star reputation on autopilot.
