The R9,000 job you slept through.
A burst geyser at 21:47 is the most valuable call you'll get all week — and the one you're guaranteed to miss. She's working down a Google list, and whoever answers first gets the job. This answers for you, tells her how to close the valve, and has the whole thing booked before you're even awake.

What it does
From missed call to money in your account.
- Missed call
- Answered for you
- Job card built
- Deposit paid
- Quiet quotes chased
Every step after the missed call happens without you touching your phone. The photo, the address, the urgency, the time slot — all captured while you finish the job in front of you. You price it properly from the bakkie in the morning instead of driving out to look.

FAQ
Straight answers for the trades.
I'm under a sink or up a ladder all day — what do I actually have to do? +
Nothing while your hands are full. When a call goes unanswered, the customer gets a WhatsApp message straight away. It asks the questions you would ask — photo, address, how urgent — and books the callout by your rules. You get a complete job card when you next look at your phone, not a missed-call icon and a customer who moved on.
Do I keep my WhatsApp number? +
Yes. The entry package runs on the WhatsApp Business app you already use — nothing changes, same number, same phone. The full Order Desk runs on a dedicated order line we set up for the business, so your own WhatsApp stays yours and customers never notice the difference.
Every job is different — how can it quote without seeing the geyser? +
It doesn't guess. You give us your honest ranges — say a burst element is R1,800 to R2,600 — and those are the only figures it will ever send. The range answers the customer's real question ("can I afford this?") on the spot, and you confirm the final price on site, same as you do now.
Where does the deposit money go? +
Straight into your own account. The payment link is issued from your own gateway account, so the money settles with you directly — it never passes through ours.
What about a genuine emergency at 02:00? +
You set the rules. A burst geyser flooding a house can be flagged to reach you immediately; a "how much for a new plug point?" waits quietly until morning. Either way the customer gets a useful answer straight away — including the first-aid steps, like closing the valve, that stop the damage getting worse.
Whoever answers first gets the job.
Set this up once and that's always you — at 21:47 on a Saturday, on the roof, under the sink, halfway up the N2. One message starts it.
