AI Quoting and Job Management App for NZ Tradies
Custom-built software for NZ tradies. Send professional quotes in minutes, manage jobs, and automate invoicing. AI-powered, delivered in 48 hours, from $399.
Why Trades & Services Businesses Need Smarter Software
NZ tradies (plumbers, electricians, cleaners, gardeners) are experts at their craft but drowning in admin. Writing quotes on the bonnet of the ute, chasing invoices, and losing leads to voicemail costs real money. Tools like Fergus and Tradify help, but they're monthly subscriptions that don't adapt to your specific workflow. Custom AI-powered software gives you exactly what you need, nothing you don't.
Quoting From the Van
You scribble job details on paper, then spend evenings turning notes into professional quotes. By then, the customer has gone with someone who replied faster.
Missed Calls = Missed Jobs
When you're under a house or up a ladder, every unanswered call is potentially a lost customer who finds someone else.
Invoicing Bottleneck
Jobs get done but invoices don't go out for days. Cash flow suffers because admin always falls to the bottom of the priority list.
What an effective website looks like for this industry
Based on real NZ industry research, sampled from 3 to 5 live websites in this industry plus the relevant regulator and association sources.
What it must do
- ✓Sticky tap-to-call phone button on mobile, in header on every page
- ✓Service-area suburb list or map (Albany, Pakuranga, Pukekohe etc.)
- ✓Quote / booking form with phone, suburb, problem type, urgency, photo upload
- ✓Pricing transparency, e.g. 'call-out from $80, hourly from $120, free quote over $500'
- ✓PGDB licence number plus Master Plumbers or Certifying Plumber/Gasfitter badge
- ✓Reviews snippet (Google rating + count, or No Cowboys / Builderscrack feed)
- ✓Honest emergency / after-hours messaging (e.g. '24/7 for existing customers, 7am-7pm new')
Recommended package
Online Payments Website (Store)
$399+
Trades sites are 5 to 8 mobile-first pages, but the Store tier unlocks the photo-upload quote form (so you can pre-quote from a tap-shot instead of driving to site) and Stripe call-out deposits to filter no-shows. Starter saves $200 but kills both upgrades.
Trust signals NZ customers expect
- PGDB (Plumbers, Gasfitters and Drainlayers Board) registration and licence number
- Master Plumbers Gasfitters Drainlayers NZ (masterplumbers.org.nz) badge where applicable
- Certifying Plumber / Certifying Gasfitter / Certifying Drainlayer designation if held
- 'Ask for Licensed' (askforlicensed.co.nz) consumer-awareness reference
- Gas Safety Certificate (gas certification number) for any gasfitting work
- WorkSafe / SiteWise badge for commercial site work
- Public liability insurance amount stated
Why this matters
Half your callers hang up if your number isn't tappable on mobile. They go to the next plumber on the search results in four seconds. Your PGDB number is the cheapest trust badge in the world, and it puts you above every backyard handyman on Google.
