Trades
Plumbing, electrical, roofing, allied. Call-outs and planned work from photos and site notes.
We'll automate your quoting.
You still set every price. Work still arrives as a call, a photo, a sketch, a drawing, or a messy email. This is the setup so later quotes are the easy bit.
How we will do it
If you have never used Claude, Grok, or Gemini, that is fine. They are chat apps on a computer or a phone. You type. They reply.
We need a lot of context about your firm. Your rates. How you quote. Your templates. What you always ask. That intake is the longest part. It gets sent to us at Simple Flow.
We build a pack. That is a file you keep. You put that file into Claude, Grok, or Gemini. Whichever you already use, or we help you pick. After that, the chat knows your business and helps draft quotes. You still check. You still send.
Why so many questions? More context means it sounds like your firm, not a generic robot.
Then a job runs like this.
- Quote request. A call, a photo, a sketch, or a messy email.
- Clarifying questions. The chat asks what you always ask.
- Draft with workings. A workings sheet you can follow, then a clean quote.
- You check.
- You send. Nothing goes to a customer unless you send it.
What you need to do
Pay $1,800 once. GST inclusive. Then fill the intake. This is the longest bit.
- Pay once. Then start intake. Bring your rates, your template if you have one, and a couple of real old jobs.
- We build. After intake lands, we make the pack. Ready 5 to 7 working days after intake is complete.
- You upload the file. Into Claude, Grok, or Gemini. Then try a real old job.
We may email a few more questions after we open your rates sheet.
What you get when it is done
A file you own. Upload it to Claude, Grok, or Gemini. It understands your quoting. It drafts with workings. You check. You send.
- The pack is the game changer, after you get through intake.
- It drafts. You decide. You get a workings sheet you can follow, then a clean quote. Nothing goes out until you send it.
- Your quote template, or we make one if you have not got one worth sending.
- You keep your rates. Excel is fine.
$1,800 NZD
GST inclusive. That is what you pay.
- Once. Not a monthly fee.
- Ready 5–7 working days after you finish intake.
- Intake is the long bit. Bring 1–3 real jobs the way they actually arrive.
Not included: monthly service · sending without you · accounting / invoicing
If it is not usable, we keep going
If the workings sheet and the clean draft are not usable from your sample jobs, we keep working at no extra cost.
We do not promise you win the job. We promise a usable price check and a clean quote draft from the work you actually get.
Who it is for
NZ firms that quote from a phone call, drawings, sketches, photos, PDFs, and messy emails.
Fabrication
Shop and site. Price from drawings, sketches, and a photo of a napkin if that is what they sent.
Civil
Drainage, earthworks, concrete, small civils. Plans, mark-ups, and a quantity that still needs a person.
Services
Scoped work from a call or a messy email. One-off or recurring. You still sign off the price.
Not this: a monthly service, sending quotes without you, or accounting and invoicing. We build the setup. You run the quotes.
Questions people actually ask
Short answers. Same ones I give on the phone.
Why am I filling all this in?
The intake is how we learn your firm. Rates, how you quote, templates, what you always ask. That is the longest part. We use it to build your pack. After that, quoting is the easy bit. More context means it sounds like you, not a generic robot.
What is Claude, Grok, or Gemini?
They are chat apps on a computer or a phone. You type. They reply. The pack is the file you give them so they know your firm. You use whichever you already have, or we help you pick. You still check every quote. You still send it.
What do I actually get?
A file you own, built for your quoting. You load it once into Claude, Grok, or Gemini. Job in, workings sheet, clean quote on your template. You set every price.
How long?
5–7 working days after a complete pack. The clock starts when intake is done, not when you first say g’day.
Do I need to be good at computers?
No. If you can text a photo of a drawing, you can do this. Intake is one question at a time. Dump the messy email, the PDF, the sketch. We sort it.
Will it send quotes to my customers?
No. Nothing goes to a customer without you. Follow-ups are written for you. You send them.
What do I need to bring?
A blank or blacked-out quote template, and your rates or price list. Excel is fine. No customer names if you can help it. Then 1–3 example jobs the way they arrived. We only ask what the files cannot answer.
Can I pause?
Yes. It saves on this phone or browser after every reply. Come back and pick up.
What if my prices change?
Tell the chat. Labour went up, a supplier moved, whatever it is. It updates the one rates list. You do not hunt files. If the chat cannot save, it walks you through putting the pack back in. Nothing overwrites until you say yes.
Do you train AI on my jobs?
No. The files you send us are only to build your quoting setup. We do not use them to train our own models. They sit in our business Drive and Gmail. After you have the pack, you quote in your own chat. That chat has its own privacy settings. We walk you through those so you can keep training off there too.
