Trades & Construction

Win more jobs.
Stop drowning in admin.

Your competitors are quoting faster, following up smarter, and invoicing the same day the job's done. Stride AI builds the automation that puts you in front — without replacing the people who make your business great.

The Problem

Your team is skilled.
They shouldn't be doing this.

Every hour your team spends writing quotes by hand, chasing customers who went quiet, or re-entering the same job into three different systems — is an hour not spent on the tools.

Here's what we hear from trades businesses across New Zealand every single week.

⏱️
Quotes take too long — jobs go elsewhere
A faster competitor sends a quote the same day. Yours takes three. By the time it lands, the customer has already said yes to someone else.
📞
Follow-ups fall through the cracks
Leads that went quiet, invoices past 30 days, jobs that never got a check-in. Your team is too busy on-site to chase the admin pile building at the office.
📋
Scheduling is a daily phone-around
Who's available, what job is next, which site needs materials — managed by memory and back-and-forth texts instead of a system that just handles it.
💸
Invoicing always runs behind
Jobs get completed but invoices take days to go out. Your admin person spends hours recreating the same template, job after job. Cash flow suffers.
What We Build

AI built for the way trades businesses actually work.

Not generic software. Custom AI agents and automations built around your workflows, your systems, and your team — not the other way around.

⚡
Automated Quote Generation

AI reads the job enquiry, pulls labour and materials from your pricing sheet, and sends a professional quote — often within minutes of the request arriving.

Quote speedMYOBFaster close rate
📅
Scheduling & Dispatch Agent

AI reads job bookings, checks staff availability, and updates your schedule automatically. Sends confirmation and reminders to customer and team — no phone-around needed.

Calendar syncSMS remindersNo-shows ↓
🔄
Lead Follow-Up Automation

Every enquiry gets an immediate response and a structured follow-up sequence. No lead goes cold because someone forgot to call back. Warm transfer to your team when the customer is ready.

Lead conversionSMS & emailCRM sync
🧾
Invoice & Payment Automation

Job completed triggers invoice creation in MYOB or your accounting system. Payment reminders go automatically at 7, 14, and 30 days. Chasing payments becomes the exception, not the routine.

Supplier & Materials Ordering

AI reads your job schedule and automatically generates purchase orders for the materials needed. Sends to suppliers, tracks confirmations, and flags any delays before they hit your site.

Review & Reputation Automation

Once a job closes, your AI agent sends a personalised follow-up asking for a Google review. Flags any negative feedback to your team before it goes public. Builds your reputation on autopilot.

Specific Automations

Tasks your AI agent can handle today.

Real automations we've built for trades businesses. Tested, live, and saving time right now.

01
Respond to enquiries within 60 seconds
AI reads the enquiry, qualifies the lead, sends a personalised response, and books a site visit — while your team is on the tools.
02
Generate and send quotes from job specs
Customer submits a job brief, AI builds the quote using your pricing rules, sends for your approval, then delivers to the customer — same day.
03
Sync job status to MYOB automatically
When a job moves from quoted to accepted to completed, MYOB updates in real time. No manual data entry between your job management tool and accounts.
04
Send job confirmation and day-before reminders
Booking confirmed → customer gets confirmation SMS. Day before the job → automated reminder with access instructions. No-shows drop significantly.
05
Create purchase orders from job schedules
AI reads next week's job list, calculates materials needed, generates POs, and sends to your suppliers — before anyone has picked up the phone.
06
Chase overdue invoices on a schedule
Invoices at 7, 14, and 30 days get an automated professional follow-up. Escalates to your team only when a customer hasn't responded after three attempts.
07
Route inbound calls to the right person
AI voice agent answers, qualifies the call, and routes it to the right team member — or takes a message and creates a follow-up task when the team is on site.
08
Post-job review requests and feedback capture
Job marked complete → customer gets a personalised review request 24 hours later. Five-star responses directed to Google. Any complaint flagged privately to your team first.
