AgentBuddy / Bay of Plenty / Kawerau / Plumbers

Your office runs itself while you work

Plumbers in New Zealand spend hours on the phone chasing leaky toilet callbacks and writing up quotes for hot water cylinder replacements. AgentBuddy answers every call, books the job, and sends the quote automatically so you can stay on the tools.

A plumber in Kawerau does not have a receptionist. AgentBuddy is the closest thing, at NZ$29 a month plus a few cents a job. Kawerau is a tight market where reputation travels, so the call you miss on Tuesday is the job someone else does on Wednesday.

Missed callbacks

A homeowner leaves a voicemail about a burst pipe. AgentBuddy calls them back, collects details like the property address and urgency, then books a same day slot in your calendar.

Quote follow ups

You send a quote for a gas stove install but no reply for three days. AgentBuddy sends a polite text reminder and follows up until the customer says yes or no.

Invoice chasing

A commercial client hasn't paid for the blocked drain job three weeks ago. AgentBuddy emails a reminder and if still unpaid, sends a final notice with a link to pay by card.

Common questions

Can AgentBuddy handle after hours emergency callouts?

Yes. If a customer calls at 2am about a burst pipe, AgentBuddy can answer, triage the urgency, and if it's an emergency, forward the job directly to your phone.

Does it work with my existing quoting software?

AgentBuddy integrates with popular NZ trade tools like WorkflowMax, Xero, and SimPRO. It syncs jobs and invoices automatically so you don't double enter data.

How does the AI know which jobs to prioritise?

You set rules like 'emergency leak jobs come first' or 'jobs within 10km get booked sooner'. AgentBuddy learns your preferences and schedules accordingly.

Will my customers know they are talking to an AI?

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.

What happens if it does not know the answer?

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.

Do I need a new phone number?

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.

Does AgentBuddy work for plumbers in Kawerau?

Yes. AgentBuddy works anywhere in New Zealand with a phone signal, Kawerau included. It is set up with you over four short calls, all booked late afternoon or after five so we are not pulling you off a job.

What does it cost a Kawerau plumber?

NZ$29 a month plus GST for the agent, then 25 cents each time it handles a customer for you. A one-person outfit usually lands between NZ$45 and NZ$130 a month. You can set a monthly cap.
