The paperwork a growing Canterbury throws at you

  • More building means more calls.

    More enquiries land than any one person can answer from a roof. Every one still gets answered and logged, instead of going to whoever picked up first.

  • The work moved to the edges, the quoting didn't keep up.

    Rolleston, Lincoln, Rangiora and Kaiapoi are where the callers are now. Quoting from your own price list keeps pace in a market where construction job ads are growing faster than Auckland's.

  • Frost mornings mean invoices that pile up by lunch.

    The 6am frost callout comes while you're still half asleep. Raise the invoice from the job once it's done, instead of writing it up that night.

What it does for a Christchurch trade business

  1. Every enquiry, answered.

    Customers keep ringing your 03 number. Calls you can't take forward to your AI receptionist, and Wombo, your AI office manager, answers website chat, WhatsApp, Messenger and Instagram in your business name. Jobs get booked or the details taken, and anything urgent comes straight to you.

  2. Jobs and crews on one board.

    Every job lands on the calendar, the list and the map, crews get their own lanes, and you move a job between crews with a drag, and each person gets their day's run on their phone in one tap.

  3. Quotes out, invoices paid.

    Quotes are priced from your own price list and drafted for you to check and send; your customer accepts on their phone and it becomes a job. Invoices go out from the job with a pay link, and with reminders on, the unpaid ones get chased.

  4. It sorts new builds from callouts before you even call back.

    A Rolleston fencing quote and a Sydenham reroof arrive clearly separated, with the suburb and the job details attached across greater Christchurch, so you know which one you're calling back about.

  5. It keeps the books straight while Canterbury builds.

    Jobs, quotes and invoices stay under the one customer record as the city keeps growing, so a fast-moving market doesn't turn into a backlog of half-written quotes.

Common questions

I work greater Christchurch including Rolleston and Rangiora. Does the job history stay sorted?

Yes. It answers with your service area and, with booking on, books jobs only where you work, with the suburb attached from Hornby to Rolleston to Rangiora.

Do you only cover the suburbs listed here?

No. Tradies Line works anywhere in New Zealand, so all of Christchurch too, not just the suburbs named on this page. Frost-morning callouts get flagged as urgent the same way wherever they come from.

What does Tradies Line do?

It's the AI operating system and job management software for a trade business: jobs and dispatch, quotes, invoices and payments, customer records and one inbox for every message, in one place, with AI staff doing the admin. Wombo, your AI office manager, does the work across all of it when you type or talk to him, and you check and send anything that goes out.

Do I need a new phone number?

No. You keep the number your customers already ring and forward it to Tradies Line on busy or no answer with one code from your carrier. Turn it off the same way. Your carrier may charge for forwarded minutes; we don't.

Does the customer know it's an AI?

If a caller asks whether they're talking to a person, your AI tells them straight away that it's the AI receptionist for your business. In messages, Wombo says he's your AI assistant if asked. Calls are recorded, and your AI tells the caller so during the call. Our AI disclosure explains it for your customers.
