AgentBuddy Team · AI office manager for NZ plumbers

1

Answering calls on site

You're knee deep in a hot water cylinder swap when the phone rings. Another blocked drain inquiry. Drop the spanner, wipe your hands, take the call. AgentBuddy answers for you, qualifies the lead, and books a time that works.

2

Writing quotes from memory

Back at the van, trying to recall pipe lengths and valve specs from that job three hours ago. Then typing it all up. With AgentBuddy, just snap a photo of the job and it writes a detailed quote for you in seconds.

3

Chasing overdue invoices

You already did the work on that bathroom renovation, but the invoice is sitting unpaid. Cue the awkward reminder texts. AgentBuddy automatically sends payment reminders and follows up until the money comes in.

4

Rescheduling no shows

A customer doesn't turn up for their 8am tap replacement. Now you've got a hole in your day. AgentBuddy handles rescheduling instantly and fills the gap with a lead from the waiting list.

5

Hunting down parts pricing

Standing in the plumbing supply store, phone to your ear, checking prices for a commercial job. AgentBuddy can look up current trade pricing and add it directly to your quote without you lifting a finger.

6

Following up cold leads

That leaky toilet enquiry from two weeks ago? Probably went with someone else. AgentBuddy automatically texts every new lead within minutes, books them if they're keen, and keeps following up until they say yes or no.
