AgentBuddy answers your phone, writes your quotes and chases your invoices, so you can stay on the tools.
●Starting at NZ$29 a month plus usage. No card to start.
Gas fitters spend hours on the phone booking gas appliance repairs and chasing invoices for compliance certificates. AgentBuddy answers every call, writes quotes for gas line installations, and books jobs so you can stay on the tools.
A customer calls at 5pm with a suspected gas leak. AgentBuddy captures the details, asks if it's an emergency, and if so, gives your afterhours number and schedules a callback.
A homeowner asks for a quote to install a flued gas heater. AgentBuddy notes the model, room size, and preferred timing, then sends a standard quote and books a site visit.
AgentBuddy automatically reminds customers when their annual gas safety check is due, offers to book a slot, and sends a reminder before the appointment.
Yes. When a job is marked as completed, AgentBuddy can email the gas compliance certificate (Certificate of Compliance) to the customer automatically and store a copy in your job file.
AgentBuddy integrates with scheduling apps like Calendly, Google Calendar, and tradie CRM tools. It can also send calendar invites and set your availability for gas work.
AgentBuddy can detect emergency keywords (like 'gas leak' or 'smell gas') and immediately text or call you with the customer details, or transfer the call to a pre set backup number.
AgentBuddy introduces itself as your assistant and never pretends to be you. Most callers care that someone picked up and booked them in. If a caller asks for you directly it takes a message or puts them through, depending on the rule you set.
It says so rather than guessing, takes the details and passes the question to you. You give it a pricing range it is not allowed to quote outside, so it cannot commit you to a number you would not have given yourself.
No. You keep your number and forward it to AgentBuddy, either all the time or only when you do not pick up. You can turn forwarding off whenever you want, and calls come straight back to your phone.
AgentBuddy starts at NZ$29 a month plus 25 cents for each customer conversation it handles. You pay for conversations that actually happen, so a quiet week costs less than a flat-out one.
Most gas fitters working on their own land between NZ$45 and NZ$130 a month once usage is counted.
Several vans and a steady stream of callers usually sits between NZ$150 and NZ$400 a month.
You choose a monthly ceiling. AgentBuddy stops taking new conversations once it is reached, so the bill cannot run away on you.
No setup fee, and no card needed to start.
Every gas fitter deals with the phone somehow. This is how the usual options stack up.
| Letting it ring out | Free | Most callers do not leave a message. The ones who do have usually rung the next gas fitter on the list first. |
|---|---|---|
| A phone answering service | Per call | Takes a message and passes it on. It cannot quote your work, book into your calendar or chase an unpaid invoice. |
| A part-time receptionist | Wages, plus holidays | Covers office hours. The 9pm call still reaches nobody, and you carry the cost in a quiet month. |
| AgentBuddy | From NZ$29 a month | Answers day or night, books the job, sends the quote and follows up on the money, in your name and your rules. |
We book them late afternoon or after five, because you are on a job all day.
The jobs you take, the ones you turn down, roughly what you charge, and what should happen when someone rings after hours.
It answers as your business, in the name you chose, working to the rules you gave it. Live by the end of this call.
A fortnight later we go through calls it actually handled and tighten anything that reads wrong.
One more round on whatever the first month turned up. After that it just runs.
Leave your details and we will get you set up with founding pricing.
