WHAT IS AI FOR TRADIES?
AI for tradies is automation software that handles incoming customer calls, drafts routine job quotes, sends invoice reminders and updates job schedules while you stay on the tools. DNA builds custom workflows connected to your phone and job management software, so every enquiry is answered and you keep the final say on pricing and commitments.
THE OPERATIONAL BOTTLENECK
WHY TRADIES LOSE JOBS TO ADMIN AND MISSED CALLS
When you work with your hands on site, you cannot run an office desk at the same time.
Missed Calls on the Tools
When you are up a ladder, under a subfloor or operating machinery, you cannot answer the phone. Eight out of ten Australian homeowners who reach voicemail hang up and call the next contractor on Google.
Late Night Quoting Fatigue
Coming home after a ten hour physical shift only to spend three hours turning scribbled notebook dimensions into customer quotes. Delays in getting quotes out lead prospective clients to book elsewhere.
Unpaid Invoices and Chasing Bills
Chasing overdue payments, reconciling supplier invoices and sending bank details steals your weekends. Manual follow-up creates awkward client conversations and slows your business cash flow.
THE FOUR OPERATING LOOPS
HOW DNA AUTOMATES YOUR TRADE OPERATIONS
Four connected systems engineered around your actual business workflow, tested with you before launch.
24/7 Phone & SMS Triage
The AI answers inbound calls with natural Australian phrasing. It verifies service locations, captures job requirements, requests photos via SMS and books site visits directly into your calendar.
Instant Quote Drafting
Voice notes recorded on site are transcribed and matched against your standard labour and materials rate card. The system drafts the quote in your software, ready for your single tap approval.
Job Management Integration
Connects seamlessly with field management software like ServiceM8, Fergus, Tradify or AroFlo. Leads, work orders and customer histories update without manual data entry.
Automated Invoicing & Reviews
Sends polite automated invoice reminders via SMS when jobs complete, captures payment receipts into Xero, and sends automated review requests to satisfied clients to build your local reputation.
CUSTOM SYSTEM VS GENERIC SAAS
WHY A CUSTOM WORKFLOW BEATS GENERIC APPS
Generic phone bots do not understand trade operations
Ready made call apps read simple generic scripts. They cannot calculate travel zones, check your field software schedule, or tell the difference between a routine bathroom quote and an emergency burst pipe. Read our market comparison of AI receptionist alternatives in Australia to see where basic tools fit.
Custom workflows connect your actual tools
DNA builds your system directly into your existing phone number, calendar, quoting templates and accounting software. You own the workflow outright, eliminating recurring per seat app charges. Test your potential time savings with the Automation ROI Calculator or assess contractor trade-offs with the Effective Hourly Rate Calculator.

DNA builds custom workflows connected to your phone and job management software, so every enquiry is answered and you keep the final say on pricing and commitments.
How does the AI handle phone calls when I am on site?
The AI answers inbound calls immediately in a natural Australian tone. It collects the caller name, job address, description and urgency. Routine questions about your service area or availability are answered automatically, while emergencies or high value clients are transferred straight to your mobile.
Does it connect to field management software like ServiceM8 or Xero?
Yes. DNA connects the automation directly to your calendar, inbox or job software such as ServiceM8, Tradify, Fergus or Xero. New job leads, contact details and call notes land directly in your system without manual copying.
Does the AI send out quotes without my approval?
No. The AI drafts the quote based on your set rate card, material allowances and job notes, then queues it for your one tap review via SMS or Slack. You retain complete control over pricing and commitments before anything goes to the customer.
How much does a custom AI build cost for a trade business?
Every DNA engagement starts with a $499 Diagnosis, where we map your intake channels, quoting rules and field tools. The Build that follows is $4,499 and takes one to two weeks for most trade businesses. You own the workflow outright with no locked monthly retainers.
