Three steps. Under a minute. No app required.
Your phone rings out while you're on the job. Happens to every tradie, every day.
On The Tools fires back an SMS immediately. Qualifies the job. Knows your trade. Remembers what the customer says. Quotes when it should. Books a site visit when it shouldn't.
Customer accepts. Address collected. Job locked into your Google Calendar. You find out at knock off. Done.
Name and job type are locked in from the first message. No follow-up required.
If the suburb is outside your service area, it handles that too. No wasted back and forth.
The brain knows what to ask for each trade type and job category you have set up.
New install or replacement. Accessible roof or concrete slab. Single phase or three phase. The answers change the quote path.
Fixed price, quote range, site visit option, or call-to-quote. Whichever path you set up. On harder jobs, it uses the higher range so you are not locked into a price before you have seen the site.
Job duration is set in your setup. The brain books against that duration so your calendar stays accurate.
Customer name, suburb, job summary, quote range, booking time, CRM link, and SMS conversation link. All in one message to your phone.
Quote ranges can be shown as subject to parts, inspection, access, cable run, and final site conditions, so you build in a buffer and avoid underquoting.
Most tools answer the message. On The Tools finishes the job.

NOT A CHATBOT
Each trade gets its own dedicated brain. Built separately. Not shared.
The Electrician Brain knows a safety switch is not a switchboard upgrade. It knows an EV charger needs a site visit before quoting. It knows 10 downlights should not be priced the same as 2, and it understands duration too.
We've loaded 31 of the most common electrical jobs. You choose how each one behaves: fixed price, quote range, call to quote, or site visit.
Your prices. Your rules. Your way.
That's what the brain uses, so it asks better questions, avoids messy quoting, and helps turn missed calls into real job conversations.
Automated Quote Follow Up for Australian Tradies
EVERY QUOTE FOLLOWED UP. EVERY LEAD TRACKED. YOUR PIPELINE ALWAYS CLEAN.
Most tradies lose 40% of quotes to silence. Not because the customer said no — because nobody followed up. On The Tools chases every quote automatically. You just see the result.
