Automation for Trade & Field Service Businesses

Your best people should be on the tools. Not behind a desk doing admin.

Window fitters, plumbers, electricians, alarm installers, roofers — your business runs on skilled tradespeople. Every hour they spend re-entering job data, chasing signatures, or waiting for a quote to be typed up is an hour not spent on the work that actually earns money. We automate every step from site survey to signed contract — so your team gets back on the tools and your customers get answers faster.

What does automation actually look like for a trade business?

Right now your process probably looks like this: a rep visits a customer, takes measurements and notes on their iPad or a pad of paper, drives back to the office, enters the same information again into your pricing system, waits for a quote to be generated, transfers the details again into a contract template, emails it out, and then chases the customer for a signature. Every one of those steps involves a person doing repetitive, manual work. None of it requires skill or judgement. It just takes time — time that could be spent on the next job. We replace every manual step between the site visit and the signed contract with an automated system that does it in the background, instantly, without anyone touching it.

What does automation actually look like for a trade business?

Here is exactly what we automate for trade & field services businesses — and what it means for your week.

Every solution below is built to connect to the systems you already use. Nothing new to learn. Just the same process you run today — with the manual steps removed.

Site survey to quote — automatically

BEFORE:
Rep takes measurements on site, drives back, types the same details into your pricing system. Takes 30–60 minutes of office time per job.
AFTER:
Rep completes one structured form on site on their phone or iPad. Quote is generated automatically and sent to the customer before the van has left the street.

Auto contract generation and e-sign

BEFORE:
Approved job details copied manually into a contract template. Contract printed or emailed as a PDF. Customer has to print, sign, scan, and email back.
AFTER:
On approval, contract is generated automatically from the quote data. Customer receives a link and signs digitally on any device. Signed copy saved to the job record instantly.

Job scheduling and engineer dispatch

BEFORE:
Office manually books the installation date, calls or texts the engineer with job details, and updates the diary. Three separate manual steps per job.
AFTER:
When a contract is signed, the job is created in the system automatically. The right engineer is notified with full job details. Diary is updated without anyone in the office doing anything.

Invoice on job completion

BEFORE:
Engineer marks the job done on site. Office is told later. Someone then creates the invoice manually in Xero or Sage. Delay of hours or days.
AFTER:
Engineer signs off the job on the site app. Invoice is generated automatically in your accounting software and emailed to the customer immediately.

Automated review requests

BEFORE:
Review requests sent manually — when someone remembers. Most completed jobs never get a follow-up at all.
AFTER:
72 hours after every completed job, a personalised review request is sent automatically via SMS or email. Reply triggers a thank-you. Google review link included.

On approval, the contract is created and sent for e-sign — all without the office touching a document.
