The real problem

You didn't get into the trade to become an unpaid receptionist.

But that's what happened. You're brilliant on the tools. The problem was never the work — it's everything around the work that's quietly stealing your life.

You're quoting at 7pm because that's the only time you're off the tools.
You miss calls during jobs — and those customers ring the next sparkie on the list.
Invoices sit unpaid for weeks because chasing them is the last thing you want to do after a 10-hour day.
You know you should ask for reviews, follow up old customers, send reminders — but there's no time left.
The proof

This isn't theory. It's what the numbers say.

of tradies have lost work because of admin overload — not lack of skill.

The solution

Tools Down runs everything outside the actual work — so you don't have to.

It's not software you have to learn. It's a done-for-you system we build, run, and maintain. You do nothing different except drag job cards on your phone. Here's how it works:

STEP 01

We build it for you

Your entire back-office — phone, quotes, invoicing, follow-ups, reviews — set up and tested in 7 days. You don't touch a thing.

STEP 02

It runs in the background

Missed calls answered in 30 seconds. Quotes followed up automatically. Invoices chased until paid. All while you're on the tools.

STEP 03

You get your time back

You drag job cards on your phone. That's it. The system handles the rest — and you clock off at 5 for the first time in years.

Everything included

Each one replaces a job you're currently doing yourself — for free, after hours.

What it's costing you
14 hrs
stolen from your week. Every week.

That's a full working day, gone — not to the work you love, but to admin you hate. Over a year, that's 28 days of your life. Almost a month, every single year.

💡

Paying upfront? You'll save an extra 5%. Whatever billing period you choose, settling the full term in one payment knocks another 5% off — on top of any plan discount. It's the lowest rate we offer, and it's yours just for committing upfront.
