Why you went out on your own

You went out on your own for the work and the freedom — not to become an office.

You served your time, you got good at the trade, and you went out on your own so you could do the job properly and earn what you are worth. Then the business handed you fifteen other jobs, all of them after hours.

Eight hours on the tools. Four hours in the ute doing the office.

Why you went out on your own

  • Do the job properly
  • Be your own boss
  • Earn what the work is worth
  • Build a name people recommend
  • Pick the jobs you actually want
  • Get home while the kids are still awake

What the business made you become

  • Receptionist
  • Estimator
  • Quote writer
  • Debt collector
  • Bookkeeper
  • Scheduler
  • Website builder
  • Marketer
  • Photographer
  • Social media manager
  • Materials buyer
  • Filing clerk
  • Customer service
  • Tech support
  • Night-shift admin

Your hands earn the money. Everything else is stealing the hours you were meant to get back.

Be honest

Does your business feel like this?

None of this means you are bad at business. It means you are running a whole company on a phone, a notebook and a shoebox of receipts.

You quote at night because the day belongs to the tools.
Quotes go out late — and the ones that go out late lose.
You never find out why a quote went quiet, so you never follow it up.
Half your enquiries come in while you are up a ladder and never get called back.
Job details live in your head, a text thread and a page of the notebook.
Site photos are lost somewhere in twelve thousand camera-roll images.
You forget to charge for the extra work the customer asked for on the day.
Materials get bought and never make it onto the invoice.
Receipts live in the glovebox until the accountant chases you.
You invoice a week late, so you get paid a month late.
You chase money you have already earned, and you hate doing it.
Your prices are based on what the last bloke charged, not on your costs.
You have no idea which jobs actually make you money.
Your website is old, thin or does not exist, so you rely entirely on word of mouth.
Google shows three competitors above you in your own suburb.
One quiet fortnight and you feel the whole business wobble.
Overwhelmed solo business owner surrounded by disconnected apps, spreadsheets, invoices and notifications
Sixteen jobs. Only one of them the trade you trained in.

You can stop doing all of it. It is already built.

You could stop all of it today

Built in 24 hours — watch how.

You do not need another app, another spreadsheet or another night at the laptop. One system, built around your trade, quoting by this time tomorrow.

Introducing Alive24 for Trades

One system that runs the whole business — while you stay on the tools.

Alive24 is not a website, and it is not another app to learn. It is the entire business of being a solo tradesperson — built, connected and switched on for you in 24 hours.

  • Website + brand
  • Local SEO + Google
  • Social posts

  • Reviews + referrals
  • 24/7 sales agent

  • Materials + inventory
  • Receipts + job costs
  • Targets + dashboard
  • Voice notes

Your website, your words, photos of your finished work, your Google presence, your local search, your social posts and your advertising are all created and run for you. A 24-hour AI sales agent sits on your website answering questions, pricing guidance, availability and next steps while you are up a ladder or asleep — and every enquiry it captures lands in your CRM with the follow-up already scheduled.

From there it is one connected business: enquiries and customers in one place, site visits booked into your calendar, quotes and proposals out the same day, deposits taken, jobs and projects built and managed for you with stages, tasks, checklists, photos, documents and customer updates, materials and inventory tracked, invoices sent and politely chased, receipts captured and every job costed.

Behind all of it, one dashboard tells you what you have quoted, what you have won, what you are owed, what a job actually cost and what you need to charge to earn the life you went out on your own for. You describe your trade in plain words — or a voice note from the van — and it builds around you.

  • Everything already connected — nothing to wire up
  • Built and live in 24 hours
  • Quote, invoice and update jobs from your phone
  • One payment, no system subscription
Watch it runSee everything included

The onsite PA you always wanted

Talk. It's done. Everything else updates itself.

You don't type, you don't log in to five apps, you don't sit up at night catching up. Standing in the driveway with dirty hands, you hold your phone and say what happened. Alive24 turns that one voice note into the quote, the job record, the invoice, the follow-up and the numbers — all connected, because it is one system, not a pile of apps.

“Quote the Northcote job: new hot water unit, half a day, plus the tempering valve.”

A priced quote is built from your rates and material costs, sent to the customer while you're still parked outside, and followed up until they answer.

“Won it. Book it Thursday morning, tell her I'll be there between 8 and 9.”

The job goes in your calendar with travel time, the customer gets the confirmation and arrival window, and the deposit request goes with it.

“Done. Took an extra hour, used two extra brackets, here are the after photos.”

The extra time and materials become a variation on the job record, the photos are filed against that customer, and the invoice goes out the same afternoon.

“Where am I at this month?”

One answer: quoted, won, invoiced, still owed, average job value and how far you are from your monthly target.

Why it feels effortless

One system. One record. Nothing typed twice.

  • One customer record — the enquiry, the quote, the job, the photos and the invoice all sit together.
  • Change something once and it changes everywhere: the calendar, the job, the invoice and the numbers.
  • Nothing needs re-entering. The quote becomes the job. The job becomes the invoice. The invoice becomes your dashboard.
  • It works with your hands full — voice on site, or two taps in the ute.

The onsite PA and project manager you always wanted — without hiring anyone.

Who Alive24 is for

Built for one person doing the work and running the business.

On the tools or at the drawing board — plumbers, builders and sparkies through to interior decorators, designers and architects. The business side is the same job: get found, answer the enquiry, quote it, do the work, invoice it, get paid. Alive24 runs all of it around you — you talk, it does the rest. Set up in 24 hours, one payment, no subscriptions, no apps to learn.

The things that actually keep you stuck

What every solo tradie tells us — and what is really true.

These are the real objections we hear from plumbers, sparkies, builders, chippies and mobile operators every week.

What you tell us

“I just want to be on the tools — I have no idea how to do the office part.”

Reality

You do not need to know. The website, the quotes, the job records, the invoices, the chasing and the numbers are already built and already running. You turn up and do the work; Alive24 runs the business around you.

What you tell us

“I am no good at selling myself, and I am not going to start.”

Reality

Then do not. Your website, your service-area pages, your Google presence, your finished-work photos and your automatic follow-ups do the selling. The customer has already decided before you pick up the phone.

What you tell us

“I only quote at night, so quotes go out days late.”

Reality

Quotes are built from your rates, your labour and your materials while you are still parked outside — measurements, photos, optional extras and terms attached. Sent same day, accepted online, deposit taken.

What you tell us

“I lose enquiries because I am up a ladder when the phone rings.”

Reality

Your website works while your hands are full. The 24-hour sales agent answers the question, the form and chat capture the job, and every one becomes a customer record with the details attached and the next follow-up already scheduled. Nobody rings the next bloke because nobody got ignored.

What you tell us

“Customers ask for extras on the day and I never charge for them.”

Reality

Extras get added to the job as a priced variation on the spot, approved by the customer, and they flow straight through to the invoice. You bill the job you actually did.

What you tell us

“My receipts live in the glovebox until the accountant shouts at me.”

Reality

Photograph the receipt at the counter, tag it to the job, done. Materials land against the right job, your margin is real, and your accountant gets a clean export.

What you tell us

“I hate chasing money, so I put it off and get paid late.”

Reality

Invoices go out the day the job is finished, customers can pay by card or transfer, and the polite reminders go out on their own. You stop being the debt collector.

What you tell us

“I have no idea if my hourly rate is right.”

Reality

Alive24 starts from what you need to earn, what the van, tools, insurance, downtime and non-billable hours really cost, and how many billable hours you actually have — then works back to your rate, your markup and your monthly target.

What you tell us

“I get all my work by word of mouth, so I do not need a website.”

Reality

Word of mouth still ends with your name typed into Google. If nothing good comes up, or three competitors come up first, the recommendation leaks. A proper site and local presence keeps the referrals you already earned.

What you tell us

“One quiet fortnight and I panic and drop my price.”

Reality

Quiet fortnights come from quotes that were never followed up and customers who were never asked again. The system follows up every quote and brings past customers back before the diary empties.

What you tell us

“I am not technical — I will end up paying someone forever.”

Reality

You change things by saying what you want, in a voice note from the van. New service, new rate, new suburb — no builders, no plugins, no developer on retainer.

Your website never stops working

A 24-hour sales agent on your website, answering customers while you are on the tools.

Most trade enquiries happen when your hands are full — early morning, on site, after tea, on the weekend. Alive24 puts a trained AI sales agent on your own website that talks to those customers, sells your work and captures the job. It knows your services, your suburbs, your price guides and your availability.

While you are on the tools

The customer gets an answer in seconds instead of waiting until tomorrow — which is usually the difference between your job and the next bloke's.

It answers on your website. It does not listen to your phone calls, your texts or your WhatsApp — your private conversations stay yours.

  • Answers customer questions instantly, day or night
  • Explains your services and what is included
  • Gives ballpark price guidance from your own rates
  • Qualifies the job: what, where, when and how urgent
  • Offers your next available site visit and books it
  • Captures name, address, photos and job detail
  • Creates the customer record and the first follow-up task
  • Hands over to you the moment you want to take it

One system for your entire trade business

Everything a solo trade business needs. Built together from day one.

Alive24 does not hand you a website and leave you to work out the rest. It gives you one connected system to get found locally, quote and win the work, run every job properly and know exactly what you are making.

Attract

Be the trade they find first — and trust straight away.

Attract builds your whole online presence and then markets it for you. A proper trade website with your services, your suburbs and your finished work. Local search and Google presence built in, so you show up when someone types your trade and their suburb at 7am. The before-and-after photos you snap on your phone are turned into social posts and paid ads, with the words written for you. Reviews are asked for automatically. And a 24-hour AI sales agent sits on your website answering questions, guiding people to the right service and capturing the enquiry — including all the ones that come in while you are on the tools or asleep.

Sell

Every enquiry managed, every quote and proposal out the same day, every follow-up done for you.

Sell is your whole sales office, and you run it by talking. Every website enquiry, form and chat conversation becomes a customer record in one place, with the stage, the notes, the documents and the next follow-up attached — so nothing goes quiet without you knowing. Site visits book straight into your calendar. Quotes and larger proposals are built from your real rates and materials and sent while you are still parked outside. Optional extras are priced up front, deposits and progress payments are taken on acceptance, and the follow-up happens whether you remember or not.

Deliver

Job and project management done for you — you never have to remember anything again.

Deliver is job and customer project management made easy and automated. The moment a quote is accepted, the job builds itself: stages, dates, checklists, materials, documents and the customer’s updates are all created for you. Every morning it tells you what to do and in what order, and it chases the parts you would normally forget — the follow-up call, the certificate, the final measure, the callback in six months. Scope, site notes, before-and-after photos, variations and compliance paperwork all live on one job record, so you turn up, do the work, talk into your phone and the admin is already done.

The quote that wins the job

Measure up, price it and send it before you pull away.

The tradesperson who quotes first usually wins. Alive24 builds the quote from your real rates, your material costs and your travel — with the upgrade lines already written.

Labour, materials, travel and an optional upgrade — priced from your own rates and sent from the driveway.
  1. 01

    Measure and photograph

    Site photos, measurements and notes go straight onto the job while you are standing there.

  2. 02

    Pick your line items

    Labour hours, materials, travel and callout come from your saved rates — no calculator, no guessing.

  3. 03

    Add the optional extras

    Upgrades and nice-to-haves are priced as tick boxes, so customers spend more without being sold to.

Pricing the whole job

A quote has to cover more than the hours your hands are on the job.

Most solo trades price the labour and forget the rest. Alive24 builds your rate from everything the job really costs.

See how your rate is built
  • Travel time and fuel between jobs
  • Quoting, phone calls and admin hours
  • Van, trailer, tools and replacement
  • Insurance, licences and registrations
  • Materials, wastage and supplier runs
  • Rain days, sick days and quiet weeks
  • Warranty work and callbacks
  • Tax, super and the holiday you keep cancelling

Built for your kind of trade business

However you work, the system fits it.

Alive24 Solo24 is built for one person running the business — not crews, teams or multi-van operations. Choose the closest model at setup, then shape it by voice.

A day in your business

Before Alive24.

You are on the tools for eight hours and running an office for another four.

  1. 6:00 AM

    Answer texts from three customers while eating breakfast.

  2. 6:40 AM

    Drive to the supplier because the materials list was in your head.

  3. 7:30 AM

    Start on site. Miss two calls in the first hour.

  4. 9:15 AM

    Customer asks for extra work. You say yes and forget to price it.

  5. 10:30 AM

    Ring back one enquiry. The other two have already booked someone else.

  6. 12:00 PM

    Eat lunch in the ute, writing measurements on the back of an invoice.

  7. 2:00 PM

    Realise the quote you promised on Monday still has not gone out.

  8. 4:30 PM

    Pack up. Stuff three receipts into the glovebox.

  9. 6:00 PM

    Dinner, then back to the laptop.

  10. 7:30 PM

    Write two quotes from memory and hope the numbers stack up.

  11. 8:30 PM

    Chase two customers who have owed you money for six weeks.

  12. 9:15 PM

    Scroll twelve thousand camera-roll images looking for one photo of that finished bathroom.

  13. 9:45 PM

    Think about updating the website. Do not.

  14. 10:30 PM

    Wonder whether you actually made money this month.

Eight hours on the tools. Four hours doing the office. Nobody paid you for the second one.

The same day

With Alive24.

There is still work. It is simply visible, in one place, and it stops following you home.

  1. First coffeeOpen one dashboard: new enquiries, quotes awaiting an answer, today's jobs, materials to collect and money owed.
  2. On the wayToday's job already has scope, photos, measurements and the materials list. The supplier run is on the route.
  3. On the toolsMissed calls become enquiries with details attached. The follow-ups happen without you.
  4. Extra work asked forAdd it as a priced variation on your phone, get it approved on the spot, and it flows to the invoice.
  5. Between jobsMeasure up, build the quote from your saved rates and send it before you pull away.
  6. Job finishedPhotos, checklist and handover done. The invoice goes out before you leave the driveway.
  7. After workClose the phone. The chasing, the filing and the follow-ups keep running without you.

Run the business in the gaps between jobs — not in every evening you have left.

The goal Alive24 was built around: run the business in minutes a day instead of losing your nights to it. How close you get depends on your trade — but the repetition is gone either way.

What it replaces or reduces

The disconnected way versus one connected system.

Most trade businesses are not short of apps. They are short of one place where the quote, the job, the materials and the invoice all agree.

The disconnected way

  • Website builder
  • Website hosting
  • Copywriting
  • Logo and brand design
  • Local SEO tools
  • Google listing help
  • Social content tools
  • Ad content tools
  • Quote form builders
  • Call answering services
  • CRM
  • Job management app
  • Scheduling app
  • Quoting software
  • Estimating spreadsheets
  • Digital signatures
  • Invoicing software
  • Payment links
  • Receipt scanning apps
  • Materials and inventory lists
  • Photo storage
  • Document storage
  • Checklist apps
  • Budget and reporting tools
  • The notebook on the dashboard
  • Quotes written from memory at 9pm
  • Text threads used as job records
  • Receipts in the glovebox
  • Twelve thousand unsorted photos in your camera roll
  • A dozen separate logins
  • Typing the same customer details three times
  • Chasing your own money

The Alive24 way

One connected system that actually runs the business.

  • It builds your website and writes itServices, suburbs, finished work, FAQs and quote request forms — live, hosted and editable by voice note.
  • It gets you found locallyLocal search, Google presence, service-area pages and AI search built around your trade and the suburbs you cover.
  • It sells for you 24 hours a dayAn AI sales agent on your website answers customer questions, explains your services, gives pricing guidance, offers your next availability and captures the job — day, night and weekends.
  • It catches and manages every enquiryWebsite enquiries, forms and chat conversations land in one customer record with stage, notes, documents and the next follow-up already scheduled.
  • It quotes, proposes, wins and takes the depositSite visits, quotes and proposals built from your rates and materials, optional extras, online acceptance, deposits and progress payments.
  • It runs the job and the project for youStages, tasks, daily to-do list, scope, photos, measurements, materials, checklists, variations, arrival windows, customer updates and handover on one job record.
  • It tracks your materials and stockMaterials on the van, supplier orders and receipts tracked against jobs, so nothing is bought twice and nothing goes unbilled.
  • It invoices and chases the moneyInvoices the day the job finishes, card or bank payment, receipts against jobs and polite automatic chasing.
  • It tells you what to charge and where you standHourly rate, materials markup, job costing, targets, forecasts and one dashboard you can read in five minutes.

One login. One customer record. One calendar. One payment — about $32.60 a week across your first year, and no system subscription.

Alive24 is not a replacement for regulated accounting software, licensing systems, compliance certification platforms or professional advice. It runs your business numbers and exports what your accountant needs.

Cost and time

What is the disconnected version costing you?

Everything is ticked, because most solo trades are paying for nearly all of it. Untick anything you do not have and change any amount to your real numbers — every figure is an estimate based only on what you enter.

Two ways in. Same destination.

It does not matter whether the van is brand new or the business is older than your apprentice — the difference is only what we start from.

No tech experience required

If you can talk about your trade, you can run your Alive24 system.

Alive24 is configured around your actual trade, your suburbs and your rates. You ask for changes in plain words — typed or spoken from the van — and the system changes.

  1. 01

    Tell us about your trade

    Your services, your suburbs, your rates, your licence details, the jobs you want more of. Written or spoken.

  2. 02

    We configure the foundations

    Website, service pages, quote templates, rates, job records, invoicing, payments and money set up together.

  3. 03

    Review it together

    One guided onboarding and handover call, walking through the whole system with you.

  4. 04

    Take control of your system

    Change anything by voice or text afterwards — new service, new rate, new suburb.

  • You do not need to code.
  • You do not need to understand automation.
  • You do not need to build a single page from a blank screen.
  • The foundations can be ready in 24 hours.
