Where plumbers, electricians and trade contractors lose revenue
When working on the tools, missed phone calls, delayed quote follow-ups and unpaid call-outs drain thousands every month.
The unreturned call while under a customer's sink
A customer with a £3,000 boiler job calls. You can't answer because your hands are covered in grease. By the time you call back, they have booked someone else.
Driving across town for unpaid "free quotes"
Spending 2 hours travelling to inspect a job, only for the homeowner to ghost your message after using your diagnostic advice to fix it themselves.
Quotes that sit on your kitchen table for 4 days
Writing quotes in a paper notebook and waiting until Sunday evening to type them up. In the meantime, a competitor sent a digital quote and won the job.
Forgotten annual boiler and safety inspections
Fitting a £3,500 boiler and never contacting the homeowner again — losing out on £120/year servicing and maintenance revenue for the next 10 years.
Customers "forgetting" they booked a morning call-out
Arriving at a residential property at 8:30 AM only to find nobody home. You lose petrol, travel time, and that van slot cannot be recovered.
Chasing unpaid invoices on Friday evening
Spending your weekend texting customers to ask if they received your PDF invoice, rather than payments taking automatically upon job completion.
Built around how a profitable trade business actually operates
Capture calls, send digital quotes, collect call-out fees and book annual services from your mobile.
Missed-call text back and diagnostic call-out fee lock.
When you can't pick up the phone, Auto-Admin immediately texts the caller: "Hi, I'm on a job right now! Tap here to book an emergency call-out or quote." Upfront diagnostic fees eliminate tyre-kickers.

Frequently asked questions from trade contractors
Everything you need to know about missed-call text back, mobile quotes and route planning.
How does missed-call text back work if I'm up a ladder or under a floor?
When someone calls your business number and you can't answer, Auto-Admin detects the missed call and within 15 seconds sends an automated SMS: "Hi, I'm on a job right now! Tap here to book a call-out or describe your emergency." Customers book online instead of calling your competitor.
Will trade customers really pay an upfront call-out diagnostic fee?
Yes. Customers with genuine boiler or electrical issues want a reliable tradesman who turns up on time. Taking a £65–£95 diagnostic fee filters out price shoppers and guarantees your van doesn't roll for free.
Can I create and send professional quotes directly from my mobile phone?
Yes. You can select pre-saved materials, labour hours and packages from your phone and text a clean digital quote to the customer before leaving their driveway.
Does Auto-Admin connect with Jobber, Tradify, QuickBooks or Xero?
Yes. Auto-Admin syncs invoices and payments directly into Xero, QuickBooks and trade management software so your accountant has clean, reconciled records.
How does the annual boiler and electrical recall system work?
When an installation or service is completed, Auto-Admin automatically schedules an automated recall 11 months in the future. The customer receives a friendly reminder to maintain their warranty, keeping your diary booked all year round.
