A missed call answered by frontdesq and booked as a new job: burst hot water in Ashgrove, Thursday 8am.

Why jobs slip away

A missed call is a missed job

You're on site. The phone rings. You miss it. The customer doesn't leave a voicemail, they just call the next plumber, sparky, or roofer on Google.

That job's gone before you knew it existed.

What tradies are saying

Books jobs while I'm up a ladder.

I was up a ladder when it rang. By smoko it'd answered, booked the job and texted me the address. Never touched the phone once.

No more lost weekend enquiries.

Used to lose every Saturday call to voicemail. Now they get answered proper, and I rock up Monday with the job already locked in the calendar.

Barry T.Carpenter · Newcastle NSW
Booked $6k while I was under a house.

Picks up every call and books the job while I'm heads down on the tools. Booked a hot water reno while I was flat out under a house. Bloody legend.

Founder note

We built this for the call you miss while you're on the tools.

The one that comes in with your hands full, halfway up a ladder, under a sink, or driving to the next job.

You don't answer because you're busy doing the work you get paid for. But the customer doesn't know that. They just call the next plumber, sparky, or roofer on the list.

For years, only big companies could afford someone to answer every call. Tradies were left with voicemail and crossed fingers. We thought that was backwards.

The trades keep the country running. They deserve every job that comes their way, without being chained to their phone to catch it.

So we built frontdesq to catch the calls you can't get to, take down the job, and put it back in your hands. Not to replace you. To make sure nothing slips through.

Because running a trade business is hard enough without wondering who called while you were busy doing the work.

Frequently asked questions

Still not sure? Hear a real call for yourself →

What if the AI makes a mistake?
Give the demo a try and judge for yourself. The AI works from your existing business data and follows your rules, which keeps errors low. When it's unsure, it doesn't guess: it schedules a callback or transfers the call to a human, whatever you prefer.
Where and how is frontdesq developed?
We're based in Brisbane, and we build and tune the assistant ourselves rather than handing you a generic off-the-shelf bot. Setup is white glove: we connect your number, tune it to your business, and you can change how it answers in plain English.
Will it replace how I answer calls now?
No. You can still answer your own calls. frontdesq is an AI receptionist for tradies: it's there for the calls you miss, overflow calls, or after-hours enquiries.
Does it actually handle after-hours calls?
Dead set, yeah, that's half the point. Nights, weekends, public holidays, doesn't matter. The best jobs usually come in once you've knocked off, so it answers those exactly the same as a Tuesday arvo call.
How is frontdesq different from a call answering service?
A traditional answering service or call centre puts a stranger with a message pad between you and your customer. frontdesq is an AI phone agent for tradies: it picks up instantly 24/7, asks the right questions about the job, books it straight into your calendar, and texts you the summary. No hold music, no per-message fees, and it never calls in sick.
Can I keep my current number?
Yes. Customers keep calling the number they already know. We simply set up call forwarding, so the calls you miss divert to frontdesq automatically.
What happens if the job is urgent?
Urgent calls get transferred straight through to you or your team on the spot. If no one can take it, the enquiry is flagged urgent so you know exactly who to call back first.
Does it book jobs automatically?
Yes. It checks your calendar and books the job into an open slot based on your availability. Prefer to stay in control? It can just capture the details and leave the booking to you.
Can it help with Google reviews?
Yes. After a job is complete, frontdesq can check the customer is happy and help them leave an honest review. If there's a problem, it flags it so you can fix it first.
How quickly can I get up and running?
Usually within a day. Setup is white glove: we connect your number, tune the assistant to your business, and test it with you. You then get a one week free trial before any billing starts.
