MISSED CALL SMS
FOR PAINTERS

Missed Calls Are a Real Problem for Australian Painters

THE PROBLEM
MISSED CALLS COST
REAL JOBS.
Missed calls during jobs

You are up a ladder or in the middle of a cut in. The phone rings out and you cannot get to it in time.

Customers call the next painter

If nobody answers and nothing comes back, the customer moves straight down the list. They do not wait around.

After hours admin

By the time you are free to call people back, it is dinner time or later. Some customers have already booked someone else.

Site visits and quotes get lost

A promising repaint needs a site visit or a quote, then it slips through the cracks because there was no system tracking it.

Quotes go quiet with no follow up

You send a quote and then get busy on the next job. Without a follow up, some of that work just evaporates.

What Happens After a Missed Call for Painters

HOW IT WORKS
FROM MISSED CALL
TO MOVING JOB.
01
Missed call comes in

A customer calls looking for a painter. You cannot get to the phone in time.

02
SMS reply goes out

On The Tools sends a fast text back, so the customer knows they have been heard.

03
Suburb is captured

The conversation works out where the job is, so you know if it is in your patch.

04
Job type is captured

Interior, exterior, fence, roof, or something bigger, the job gets tagged properly.

05
Site visit, quote or booking path opens

Depending on the job, the enquiry moves toward a site visit, an open quote, or a direct booking.

06
Open quotes get followed up

If a quote goes quiet, On The Tools can follow up on your terms instead of the job just going cold.

Why On The Tools Is Different From a Normal Receptionist

NOT A GENERIC RECEPTIONIST
BUILT AROUND
MISSED CALLS.
It does not just take a message

A message with a name and number still leaves you to do all the work. On The Tools keeps the conversation moving.

It captures job intent

Suburb, job type and scope are worked out during the SMS conversation, not left for you to ask later.

It keeps customer momentum

The customer is still holding their phone. A fast reply keeps them engaged instead of calling the next number.

It separates site visits, quotes and bookings

Not every job suits a straight booking. Bigger jobs get routed to a site visit or an open quote instead.

It follows up on open quotes

A quote does not have to just go quiet. On The Tools can follow up on your terms instead of the job going cold.

It is built around missed calls, not generic chat

This is not a general purpose chatbot with a painting skin on it. Every part of it is built around one job: what happens after you miss a call.

YOUR MONTHLY ALLOWANCE

UP TO 50 QUOTED
OR BOOKED ENQUIRIES.

An enquiry only uses your allowance when On The Tools successfully sends the customer a quote or confirms a job, appointment or site visit in your calendar. If the same customer receives a quote and then books, it still counts as one enquiry, not two.

No quote or booking? It does not use your allowance. Simple as that, mate.

WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU HIT 50?

Having a massive month? Add another 25 quoted or booked enquiries for $59 including GST. Your top-up credits do not disappear at the end of the month. They stay on your account until you use them and your monthly allowance is always spent first.

EXAMPLE

You buy a 25-credit top-up in January and use 5 of them. In February, your 20 unused credits carry over alongside your fresh 50, giving you 70 to play with.

We will warn you before you reach your limit. Top-ups are never added without your approval.

On The Tools top-up credits

All prices in AUD including GST. No hidden charges. Cancel any time, effective at the end of your current billing cycle.

COMPLIANCE & SAFETY

BUILT FOR LICENSED TRADES.
NOT JUST ANY BUSINESS.

You carry a licence. You carry liability. We built for that.

Most AI tools were built for cafés and retail stores. On The Tools was built for the realities of licensed trade work — where one missed question can cost you your licence, your insurance, or your reputation. Every call handled by On The Tools follows a compliance-aware protocol built specifically for your trade. The right questions get asked every time. Every interaction is timestamped and logged. And when a genuine emergency hits, the system knows to stop taking bookings and escalate immediately.

Licence Protection Built In

Your AI knows the compliance questions that protect your licence — asbestos risk on pre-1990 homes, certificate of compliance triggers, commercial vs residential scope. Asked automatically. Every time. Without fail.

Your Paper Trail Starts at Hello

Every customer interaction is logged with a timestamp from the first contact. Job scope, pricing discussed, safety flags raised — all documented before your tradie sets foot on site.

Emergency Escalation Protocol

Gas leak? Active electrical hazard? On The Tools doesn't try to book a job. It tells the customer to call 000, alerts you immediately, and logs the full interaction. Built-in safety intelligence for the moments that matter most.
