The lead-capture system for Australian trades

The job is won before you even ring back.

Every enquiry answered in seconds. Every customer captured, worked and invested in your business, while your competitors are still missing calls.

However the job arrives, call, website or referral, it lands in a pipeline built for your trade. Ash reads the job and the photos, follow-ups run themselves, and you walk in already knowing the job.

Ash, your AI offsider: Recurring safety-switch trips on the fridge circuit. Likely a faulty appliance or moisture ingress. Isolate and test.

Try it live

Run it on your own phone.

Before you run it: how many customers have reached out, then gone quiet while you were busy on the tools?

That is the job TradeStream protects.It captures the enquiry immediately, keeps the customer motivated without being pushy, and tells the owner when a warm lead needs rescuing.

  • Then the reveal: your own job, scoped and priced, from the tradie's side.
  • You stay in the guided demo from there, with no extra sales calls.

Watch a lead come in

Show me the lead before I talk to anyone.

One demo, three chapters: the lead captured, the quote written and accepted, the visit booked. The whole job locked in before you pick up the phone.

It opens with a missed call, but that is one door of many. A website enquiry, a Facebook message, a referral, a quote gone quiet — every lead runs the same path. No slideshow, no sign-up.

Call ended · No answer

William needs an electrician. You're up a ladder on another job. The call rings out, and TradeStream takes it from here.

The first two minutes

Every lead gets captured, worked, and half-won before you even look at your phone.

  1. 0:00

    Customer enquires. Call, website or QR, it does not matter how.

  2. 0:01

    They get a branded reply from your business instantly. You are still on the tools.

  3. 0:45

    They describe the whole job. Photos, urgency, suburb. Two minutes quietly invested in your business before you have even rung back.

  4. 1:30

    Ash reads it: the likely cause, the parts, the one question worth asking.

  5. Your callback

    You ring knowing the job, the risks and the price range. The most prepared trade they have spoken to. The job is half-won before price comes up.

And when you quote, it shows.

The cost of the current way

The job usually goes to the trade
that feels safest first.

You're already the right tradesman for the job. The problem is never your work, it's the leads that quietly slip past while you're on the tools. Without a system, the most prepared, fastest-looking trade wins, and that leaves good money on the table.

The usual way

A guess, typed from the ute

Hey, hot water's died. How much for a new unit?
What sort of system is it?
No idea, the big round one? There's water round the bottom too
Prob $1400ish depends on the unit. Can look Monday
Ok I'll get back to you
  • No job details, no photos, no address
  • Price guessed blind, then defended later
  • The lead lives and dies in a text thread
Result: they keep shopping around.
The quiet leaks

Where the work slips away

  • A missed call just rings the next tradie. Most callers won't leave a voicemail.
  • Customers ring four trades at once, then go with whoever gets back first and looks the most sorted.
  • The quoting and chasing lands on you at 9pm, from memory, after a full day on the tools.
Result: good work, lost to a faster reply.
What the customer sees

Most trades quote by text.
You'll look like a company.

Every trade that replies is being compared. The one that looks organised and professional usually wins, even at a higher price. This is what lands on your customer's phone instead of a bare text back.

The barrier no competitor removes

How many jobs have you lost to a language you couldn't follow?

No language barrier

Hard-to-understand calls? Gone.

Accents, noisy job sites, second languages. The enquiries where you both end up frustrated and the job goes nowhere.

Your customer fills in the form in the language they think in. You read it back in plain English.

The lead you couldn't understand is now the easiest one in your inbox.

Customer writes · VietnameseCửa cuốn nhà tôi bị kẹt nửa chừng, mô tơ vẫn chạy nhưng cửa không nhúc nhích. Tôi cần sửa gấp.
Ash reads it
Roller door stuck halfway, motor runs but the door doesn't move. Customer flags it as urgent. Likely track obstruction or failed drive coupling. Ask: any grinding noise? Does the door move on the manual release?

of people prefer dealing with a human over an AI on customer service interactions.Kinsta consumer survey, 2025 (US)

No robot ever answers your phone. That's the point.

Plenty of services drop an AI voice between you and your customer. Most people can tell, and hang up, and that hang-up was your job. TradeStream works the other way around. Your customer always deals with you, your name and your brand. Ash works behind the scenes, after the customer reaches out, so you call back faster and sharper.

AI where it helps you win work, and never where it costs you trust.

Not a missed-call text. A whole system.

This is the full pack, jam-packed with tools that genuinely benefit you. It runs from the first enquiry through to the job won. It sits out front as the door to the job, not another job manager.

Common questions

Straight answers, before you ask.

What is TradeStream?

TradeStream is an Australian lead-capture system for trade businesses. It answers every enquiry in seconds, captures the whole job with photos, and follows up automatically so tradies stop losing work they never knew they had. It is built for Australian trades such as electricians, plumbers, roller and garage door installers, HVAC, solar and carpenters.

How much does TradeStream cost?

TradeStream starts at $65 per week for the founding Launch Partner plan, which includes the full Growth system and a free website normally worth $1,499. The standard plans are Signature at $79 per week and Growth at $99 per week, with no setup fee on any plan. Prices are in Australian dollars, ex GST, and are billed monthly.

Is TradeStream an answering service or AI receptionist?

No. TradeStream is a lead-capture system, not an answering service or AI receptionist, and no robot ever answers the phone. The customer always deals with the tradie's own brand, while the AI works quietly in the background after the enquiry comes in, structuring the lead so the tradie can call back faster and better informed.

Do my customers need to download an app?

No. Customers do not need to download anything. They tap a link in a text message and describe the job straight from their phone browser, including photos, with nothing to install.

How is TradeStream different from a missed-call text service?

A basic missed-call text just tells the customer you missed them; TradeStream captures the entire job. It walks the customer through trade-specific questions and photos, runs the answers through its AI, scores how quote-ready the lead is, and keeps following up automatically until the job is booked.
