Job updates for your trade
Every trade gets the same thing: one link your customer opens from a text, with your photos, your updates and a progress bar in your trade’s words. What changes is the job, so each of these pages is written for its own.
- Plumbing customer updates Keep plumbing customers updated without the phone calls. Photos, progress and status on one link they open from a text. Free to use.
- Job updates for electricians Show electrical customers what went in behind the walls: photos of the rewire, the new consumer unit and the test, on one link. Free to use.
- Decorating customer updates Keep decorating customers in the loop while they’re out: prep, colours and progress photos on one link they open from a text. Free, no app for them.
- Customer updates for gardeners Show garden customers the work while they’re out: before and after photos and notes on one link. Free for gardeners, nothing for customers to install.
- Removals customer updates Give removals customers one link that shows when you’re loaded, in transit and delivered, with photos of their things. No app to install. Free to use.
- Repair status updates for workshops Tell repair customers when their item is in the workshop and ready to collect, with photos of the fault. Free for workshops, no app for customers.
- Customer updates for builders An extension runs for weeks. Give the customer one link with photos of the footings, drains and steel before they’re covered, and the stage it’s at. Free.
- Customer updates for roofers Your customer can’t see the roof. Post photos from up there — the slipped tiles, the rotten batten, the new lead — on one link from a text. Free to use.
- Job updates for heating engineers Boiler swaps, heat pumps and powerflushes: show the customer the old system, the new kit and when the heating’s back, on one link. Free to use.
- Updates for kitchen and bathroom fitters A refit means weeks without a kitchen or bathroom. Show the customer each stage, which trade is in next and the photos, on one link. Free to use.
- Customer updates for landscapers Patios, drainage and planting: show the customer the dig, the sub-base and the finished garden on one link, and why the rain stopped work. Free to use.
- Customer updates for mobile mechanics Working on a car on a drive or a work car park while the owner’s elsewhere? Show them the fault, the part and when it’s done, on one link. Free to use.
