A new job lands while he loads the van

Mrs Hughes texts about a new shower. It lands in his enquiries with the job, where it is and how to reach them, and a quick "got it" goes back by itself. He doesn't touch his phone.

Job done. The invoice is out before he leaves the drive.

He marks the work finished, then raises the invoice from the quote in a tap: numbered, with the tax right and his bank details and a reference on it. One more tap sends it.

Overdue? It asks, so he doesn't have to.

The day after it falls due, a polite first reminder is ready. He taps yes and it goes in his business's name. It stops the moment they pay or reply. No awkward phone call.

You stay in charge

It does the work. You say yes.

The thing everyone asks is whether it will say something daft to a customer in their name. Here is the honest answer: the things that matter wait for you.

Waits for your yes
  • Any price, quote, invoice or chase waits for your yes.
  • Anything else that commits your diary, your money or your word.
Gets on with it
  • A quick "got it" when someone gets in touch.
  • A plain answer to a plain question.
  • A booking into time you've already opened.

Three things don't wait. Each one is a switch, if you'd rather it said nothing at all.

Who's behind it

There's a person behind this.

Adminmate is built and run in the UK by Mitigate It Limited. It was built because the admin that piles up around a trade business is nobody's idea of a trade, and because the jobs lost to a phone nobody could answer are real money. If you want to know how something works, or whether it will work for you, book a demo and ask it straight.

Who's asking for your card details

We're new, and we'd rather you knew that than found out. Adminmate is a trading name of Mitigate It Limited, a UK company. Book a demo from this page and a real person shows you it working. And if you leave, your data leaves with you.

Straight answers

Will it sound like a robot?

Read the call above and judge it yourself. It speaks plainly, it asks the questions you would ask, and it never pretends to be you.

What if it says the wrong thing to my customer?

Any price, quote, invoice or chase waits for your yes. Three things don't: a quick "got it" when someone gets in touch, a plain answer to a plain question, and a booking into time you've already opened. It drafts, you approve, then it sends.

I'm not techy. Will I manage it?

Setting up is a fifteen-minute call. We do the typing. After that it's one list of things to say yes or no to.

Is my customers' data safe?

Stored in London, encrypted, never sold, and yours to export or delete whenever you want.

Can I get out of it?

Monthly rolling. Cancel in one tap and take your data with you. No notice period, no phone call to talk you out of it.

Will it work for my trade?

It's built around UK trades and set up around yours: your rates, your jobs, the questions worth asking. If we can't do your trade properly we will say so on the call.

Fifteen minutes, and you see it run your office.

A real person shows you it working on a real job, then sets it up around your trade. No pressure, no card details.
