Case Studies

Real results from real New Zealand businesses. See how AI automation is saving time, recovering revenue, and giving business owners their lives back.

Electrical Trade Company

Electrical — Trade Services · Auckland

From 5 missed calls a day to zero — and a 40% jump in conversions

The Challenge

A busy 8-person electrical team handling residential and commercial work across Auckland was missing 5-10 calls per day while on-site. By the time they called back, most leads had already booked a competitor.

Our Solution

We set up an AI voice agent that answers every call 24/7, qualifies the lead (residential vs commercial, urgency, location), and books a callback or appointment directly into the team's shared calendar. We also built an automated follow-up sequence that sends a personalised email and text within 60 seconds of every enquiry.

Commercial Cleaning Company

Commercial Cleaning · Wellington

20+ hours of admin automated — and weekday evenings back

The Challenge

A growing cleaning company with 15 staff across Wellington was spending 20+ hours per week on admin — scheduling shifts, chasing invoices, replying to emails, and following up with leads. The owner was working until 9pm most nights just to keep up.

Our Solution

We automated the entire lead-to-booking pipeline: instant enquiry response, automated quoting, calendar-based shift scheduling, and an invoice reminder sequence through Xero. We also set up a weekly automated report for at-a-glance business performance.

I was spending 20+ hours a week on admin. Now it's all automated. I actually got to coach my kid's rugby game on a Wednesday for the first time in years.

Plumbing Company

Plumbing — Trade Services · Christchurch

$2,000/month in recovered leads from one simple workflow

The Challenge

A husband-and-wife plumbing business was getting plenty of enquiries through their website and Google, but follow-up was inconsistent. Quotes would go out, then nothing — no follow-up, no chase. They estimated they were losing 3-4 jobs per week from poor follow-up alone.

Our Solution

We built a simple but powerful follow-up automation: every quote triggers a 4-step follow-up sequence over 7 days — personalised email, text, email, final text. We also added an AI chatbot to their website that qualifies leads and captures contact details after hours.

We didn't think AI was for a small plumbing company. One simple workflow saves us $2,000/month in missed leads alone. Best investment we've made.
