Websites and digital workflows for trades businesses
Agilido builds websites and digital workflows for trades businesses: enquiries that arrive with photos and measurements, quotes without retyping, and careers pages where people apply from their phone in two minutes.
Sound familiar?
If you recognise yourself in any of these, a conversation is worth having.
- The phone rings while you are on site, and in the evening you return every call.
- Enquiries arrive without photos, measurements or address, and each one leads to two follow-up questions.
- Quotes are written in Word or Excel, and the same data is typed in again for the order and the invoice.
- You have been looking for skilled workers for months, but hardly anyone answers your job ad.
What matters
Enquiries you can work with
A form that asks for the job, photos, rough measurements, location and preferred date saves the follow-up questions. The first call is then already about the quote rather than missing details.
Enter data only once
Enquiry, quote, order and invoice belong together. Through interfaces the details from the form go straight into your trades software instead of someone retyping them. What cannot be connected cleanly, we tell you beforehand.
Applying without a CV
Skilled workers rarely apply with a cover letter. A careers page with a few questions that can be answered on a phone in two minutes lowers the barrier. It is also how we recruit our own applicants.
Example: what an enquiry assistant for a roofing business can look like
A typical flow, not a client project. We adapt the rules to your business.
-
The customer chooses what it is about, such as a repair, a roof window or a new roof covering.
-
They upload two or three photos of the roof and give the rough area and the address.
-
They choose when they are easiest to reach.
-
The enquiry reaches you complete, directly in your trades software if you wish.
-
On the first call back you are already talking about the quote rather than missing details.
Trades: frequently asked questions
Often precisely then. Today a website helps decide which skilled workers apply to you and which jobs you get. With clear information on services, service area and minimum order size, fewer unsuitable enquiries come in, and the suitable ones arrive complete. A careers page where people apply in two minutes reaches skilled workers who are not actively looking. Both save time you currently spend on the phone.
In many cases, yes. Many programs for quotes, orders and invoices have an interface through which enquiries arrive directly as a job. Whether your software is one of them, we check before the quote. If it has no interface, there is often a workaround, such as an email import or a file that is read in regularly. What does not work cleanly, we tell you beforehand, instead of building a solution that constantly needs maintenance.
By making applying as easy as sending a message. Skilled workers dislike writing cover letters and rarely have an up-to-date CV at hand. A careers page with a few questions that can be answered on a phone in two minutes, and a call back instead of a formal letter, lowers the barrier. It is also how we recruit our own applicants. Honest information on working hours, service area and pay belongs there too, because those are the first questions applicants ask.
