Project Work for Geelong Trades

The high-ROI tech projects every trades business eventually needs - workflow automation, CCTV, AI quote follow-up, and mobile-first IT. All on a fixed-fee, no-lock-in basis.

Job Management Automation

ServiceM8, Tradify, simPRO, AroFlo, and Fergus configured properly - and connected to Xero, Outlook, and your supplier portals.

AI Quote Follow-Up & Drafting

AI pilots that chase unanswered quotes, draft scope letters, and answer common customer questions in your tone of voice.

Quote-to-Cash Tidy-Up

End-to-end workflow review: enquiry → quote → job → invoice → payment. We find the gaps and automate them out.

Yard & Workshop CCTV

IP camera systems for workshops, storage yards, and site offices. Remote viewing, motion alerts, and tough outdoor cameras.

Mobile-First IT Setup

Phones, tablets, and rugged laptops configured for the field - shared inboxes, secure logins, and offline-friendly apps.

Microsoft 365 for Trades

Email, shared drives, and Teams that work on a phone in a ute. Secured with MFA and document libraries staff actually use.

Office Network & WiFi

Reliable office networking for the back office - cabling, switches, business-grade WiFi, and printer setup.

Fleet & Vehicle IT

Hands-free phone setups, GPS-aware job apps, and dashcam integrations for utes and service vehicles.

Office Computer Refresh

Spec, supply, image, and deploy new office workstations. Old gear wiped properly, ATO-friendly audit trail kept.

Local Context

Built for tradies who'd rather be on the tools

Trades businesses don't need more IT support - they need less time on paperwork. Quotes going cold. Invoices chased on Sundays. Job updates buried in 50 reply-all emails. Most of that disappears when the right tools are properly connected and a focused AI pilot is layered on top.

We scope and deliver that work as one-off projects from Ocean Grove. Free on-site or remote scoping, fixed-fee proposal, clear deliverables - then the upgrade lands and we hand it back. No mandatory monthly contract to get the job done.

Trades we work with

  • Electricians, plumbers, HVAC
  • Builders, carpenters, and renovators
  • Landscapers and outdoor trades
  • Cleaning, pest, and property services
  • Concreters, painters, and finishers
  • Workshop, manufacturing, and fabricators
FAQ

Trades IT & Automation FAQs

No. Most of our trades work is one-off project and consulting - job-management automation, CCTV installs, AI quote follow-up, fleet IT setup, and office network refreshes. Fixed-fee scope, no lock-in.

ServiceM8, Tradify, simPRO, AroFlo, Fergus, and Geoop. We also build custom integrations to Xero, MYOB, Outlook, and supplier portals where the off-the-shelf apps stop short.

Yes. AI quote follow-up is one of our most popular trades projects - polite, timed chase emails that draft automatically, wait for your approval, and stop the moment a customer responds.

Yes. We use IP-rated outdoor cameras designed for dust, weather, and impact. Mounted properly with metal conduit so the cameras and cabling survive long-term in industrial conditions.

Yes. Mobile-first setup is a big part of trades projects - hands-free phone configuration, rugged tablets for site staff, offline-friendly job apps, and shared inboxes that don't break on the road.

All trades projects are quoted as a fixed fee after a free scoping conversation. Automation pilots usually start in the low thousands and pay back within 1-3 months in time saved.

Yes. We cover Geelong, the Bellarine Peninsula, and the Surf Coast - including Ocean Grove, Barwon Heads, Torquay, Leopold, Drysdale, and surrounds. No call-out fees.
