Job tracking add-on · from £500

A phone app for your staff that records each job with a GPS route and photos, even with the phone locked in a pocket. Customers get a report showing where and when the work was done. Android included; iPhone needs an Apple developer account (£79 a year, paid to Apple).

Automations

Admin that does itself

Clients do not buy "automation". They buy time back and fewer things forgotten. Each one is priced separately, from £150.

AutomationWhat happensFrom
Enquiry follow-upNew enquiries land in a list, and the customer gets an instant reply.£150
Booking remindersConfirmation when booked, and a reminder the day before.£200
InvoicingWeekly invoices created and sent, with polite reminders when overdue.£250
Review requestsA "how did we do?" message with your Google review link after each job.£150
Weekly summaryAn email each Monday: jobs done, money in, money owed.£200

Text messages cost a few pence each to send, so they are charged at cost or included as an allowance in your care plan. Emails are free.

Questions

Good to know

How long does it take?

A starter website usually takes one to two weeks from receiving your words and photos. A business app takes two to four weeks, depending on what it needs to do.

Do I have to pay it all up front?

No. Half when you accept the quote, and half when it is finished and you are happy with it.

Are there other monthly costs?

Your domain name is usually around £10 a year. Hosting, the database and emails run on services that are free at small-business size. If you ever outgrow those free limits, we will tell you before anything costs money.

Who owns the website and the data?

You do. Accounts are set up in your name, and your customers' details stay in your own database. We handle them only to build and look after your system, under a written data processing agreement.

I already have a website. Can you help?

Yes. We can refresh it, rebuild it, or add an app and automations alongside it. Tell us what you have and we will suggest the simplest option.

Do you only work locally?

No. We are based in South Wales and happy to meet locally, but we work with businesses anywhere in the UK over video calls.

Not sure what you need?

That is normal. Tell us what takes up your time and we will suggest the simplest way to fix it, with a price.
