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.
You're on a 20-metre scaffold tying off standards, and your phone rings with a builder asking for a quote on a residential re-roof scaffold. AgentBuddy answers that call, books the site measure, and sends a quote while you keep working safely.
Instead of climbing down to take a call from a main contractor, AgentBuddy answers, confirms the job details, and books a site visit for a quote.
A builder needs a price for a 3-week scaffold hire on a Commercial Bay job. AgentBuddy pulls your standard rates, sends a quote via text or email, and follows up if it's not accepted.
That big client on the Auckland apartment block is 45 days overdue. AgentBuddy sends automatic reminders, then escalates to a final notice before you have to get involved.
AgentBuddy takes the call, captures the job details, and sends you a summary. They also let the caller know you'll follow up next working day.
Yes, AgentBuddy integrates with Xero, WorkflowMax, and other popular NZ accounting platforms. Quotes and invoices sync automatically.
Absolutely. AgentBuddy links each call or inquiry to the correct job and site, so you never mix up quotes for different projects.
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 scaffolders 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 scaffolder 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 scaffolder 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.
