Built for the owner who answers every call — except the ones that matter most
I started TradesAutomate because I kept hearing the same story from trades business owners in Austin. They were losing jobs they never knew they lost. A call would come in while they were under a house or on a roof, and by the time they called back, the customer was already booked with someone else.
These aren't bad businesspeople. They're excellent at their trade. But running a small business means you're the owner, the tech, the scheduler, and the salesperson all at once. There's no receptionist. There's no one watching the phone while you're in the field.
The math is brutal: 3–5 missed calls per week × $400 average job = $1,500–2,000 in lost revenue, every single week. That's over $75,000 a year walking straight to your competitors — and most owners don't even know it's happening.
Automation tools exist that can solve this completely — but most of them are built for tech companies, not HVAC guys. They're complicated, expensive, and require someone technical to set them up. So I built a version that doesn't. 48-hour setup. No tech knowledge required. Cancel anytime.
That's TradesAutomate. Simple automation that works while you're working.
