Industries

Built for the trades. Friendly to the rest of Main Street.

We work with small businesses that wear every hat and feel every dollar. The same small businesses being squeezed by big AI companies pitching layoffs to their bigger competitors. Our systems flex to fit what you actually do, not the other way around.

The trades are our flagship. But if you're running a real business serving real people in a local market, we probably have a system that fits.

Our flagship trades

Built for the businesses we grew up around.

HVAC

Heating, cooling, and the 2am emergency calls. Phones ringing while your tech is in a crawl space. New leads coming in faster than the dispatcher can route them.

We make sure the phone gets answered, the lead gets booked, and the truck gets to the right driveway.

Typical wins
  • Missed-Call Text-Back capturing the after-hours emergency calls
  • Website Chatbot qualifying jobs before the dispatcher sees them
  • Lead Generation pointed at homeowners actively searching in your zip codes

Plumbing

Burst pipes don't wait for business hours. Neither do we.

Plumbing is one of the hardest industries to keep up with. Emergencies are unpredictable, the competition is ruthless, and every minute you take to call someone back is a minute they're calling the next plumber on the list.

Typical wins
  • AI Phone Answering picking up every call, day or night
  • Business Automation routing the routine work without burning admin time
  • Appointment Booking that lets customers grab a slot in 30 seconds

Handyman Services

Small jobs add up fast when the booking is smooth. The problem is most handyman businesses spend half their day on the phone trying to book the other half of their day.

Typical wins
  • Appointment Booking customers can use themselves
  • Website Chatbot that handles "can you fix this" questions without phone tag
  • Appointment Booking that confirms jobs and sends the reminder so no-shows drop

Home Improvement and Contracting

Bigger jobs. Longer sales cycles. More follow-up. The lead that doesn't close today might close in three weeks if you stay in front of them. Most contractors lose those leads because there's no system keeping the conversation warm.

Typical wins
  • Email and SMS Campaigns that nurture leads across long sales cycles
  • Lead Generation that builds a steady pipeline instead of feast-or-famine
  • Business Automation that fires the right follow-up at the right time
We also serve

The rest of Main Street.

Bakeries

Custom orders, pickup windows, holiday rushes. Phones busy in the morning. Custom cake orders coming in through Instagram DMs. We help bakeries take orders online and never lose a custom order to a missed phone call.

Local Farms

CSA shares, market schedules, weekly produce orders. Customers searching for "farm fresh near me" and bouncing because they can't figure out how to order. We help farms get found locally and make ordering simple.

Restaurants

Reservations, takeout, private events. Phones ringing through the dinner rush. Bookings that should have closed sitting in a voicemail box. We help restaurants fill weeknight tables and turn first-time guests into regulars.

Salons and Barbershops

Stylist-specific calendars, online booking, automated reminders that cut no-shows in half. Your chair stays full. Your front desk stays sane.

Retail Shops

Foot traffic, online orders, customer follow-up. Local-first businesses competing against bigger chains and big-box ecommerce. We help retail shops build a real local presence and turn one-time buyers into repeat customers.

And more

Pet groomers. Mobile detailers. Lawn care. Cleaning services. If your business runs on phone calls, appointments, and follow-up, the systems work the same way.

The whole neighborhood

If you're working hard to grow something real, we probably fit.

The trades are our flagship. We're built for the whole neighborhood. Small businesses with real customers, real margins, and real reasons to do the work right.
