Tradies in Wellington
Up the scaffold in a southerly? Reschedule calls still get answered.
Tradies Line is the AI operating system and job management software for Wellington tradies. Jobs, quotes, invoices and messages sit in one place, and reschedule calls still get answered on a wind day.
No card, no time limit.
-
About 175 days a year
of gusts over gale force (75 km/h) at Wellington Airport, so roof and scaffold days get blown out
-
8,135 leaks
fixed on the public water network across Wellington, the Hutt and Porirua in 2025/26, on pipes some over 100 years old
-
Nearly 60%
of Wellington's residential sections have some slope, so more jobs need a site visit before the quote
The paperwork the weather makes you miss
-
The southerly cancels your roof day.
Wind days mean reschedules, and reschedules mean calls at the worst times. Every one still gets answered and logged, not just the first.
-
Hill jobs mean a quote for every site visit.
Steep access and tight sites mean a visit before every quote. Writing it up from your own price list on the spot beats carrying the numbers back to a desk.
-
Burst pipes at 2am, an invoice that waits till morning.
An ageing network means leaks around the clock. Raise the invoice from the job once it's fixed, instead of trying to remember the parts list the next day.
What it does for a Wellington trade business
-
Every enquiry, answered.
Customers keep ringing your 04 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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
It catches the weather-day reschedules, not just the first call.
When a southerly wipes out a roofing day and everyone rings at once, the second and third enquiries get logged too, not an engaged tone. The job, the suburb and the access are captured ready to quote.
-
It keeps a hill job's paperwork in one spot.
Site visit, quote, booking and invoice sit under the same job record, so a tricky-access property doesn't need a string of separate conversations to track down the details.

Common questions
I cover the Hutt and Porirua but not Kāpiti. Can jobs stick to my actual area?
Yes. It answers with your service area and, with booking on, only books jobs where you work.
Do you only cover the suburbs listed here?
No. Tradies Line works anywhere in New Zealand, so all of Wellington too, not just the suburbs named on this page.
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.
