Trades

AI answering services for Australian tradies

You can’t answer the phone with your hands full. Voxworks answers every call, books jobs into ServiceM8, Simpro or AroFlo, triages emergencies and follows up quotes — 24/7.

For trades, a missed call is a job your competitor books. Voxworks answers instantly while you’re on site, captures the job and address, triages genuine emergencies, and chases your outstanding quotes — turning your phone into a job-winning machine instead of a voicemail box.

Every missed call is a job your competitor booked

Tradies have the worst version of the answering problem: the people who do the work physically cannot pick up the phone while doing it. BIA/Kelsey puts the average value of a missed service-business call at $100–$200, and a tradie missing five calls a week at a $200 average job is leaving around $50,000 a year on the table. The fix isn't answering more — it's having every call answered for you.

From ringing phone to job card, hands-free

Voxworks answers in seconds, asks the questions you would — job type, address, urgency, access, photos by SMS where useful — and books the work into the job management software Australian tradies already run: ServiceM8, Simpro, AroFlo, Fergus, Jobber and Tradify. Genuine emergencies warm-transfer to you or your on-call tech with the details captured.

  • Every call answered 24/7 — no voicemail, no engaged tone
  • Job-ready details captured and logged as job cards
  • Emergency triage with warm transfer to your on-call number
  • Quote follow-up and maintenance-reminder campaigns for repeat work

After-hours is where the margin is

Emergency call-outs at night and on weekends carry the best rates — and they go to whoever answers, because a customer with a burst pipe or dead switchboard calls down the search results until someone picks up. Around 80% of callers won't leave a voicemail; they just dial the next number. A 24/7 AI receptionist means that next number is never needed.

What it costs a trade business

An office admin costs $45,000–$65,000 a year plus on-costs; live answering bureaus charge per call and only take messages. Voxworks starts at $49 a month with a 14-day free trial and no setup fee — it typically pays for itself with the first job it saves. Pick your trade below for the call scenarios specific to it.
