You're losing jobs while you're on them
While you're under a house or up a ladder, your phone is ringing. And your next customer is already Googling the next tradie on the list.
Every missed call is a job at risk
Under a house, up a ladder, driving between jobs — you can't pick up every call, and callers don't wait. While you're on the tools, they're ringing your competitors.
$12K+ a year if you miss just two $500 jobs a month
Simple maths: two missed $500 jobs a month is $12,000 a year walking to the next tradie — and far more if your jobs are bigger.
Voicemail loses jobs
Plenty of callers hang up and ring the next tradie on Google instead of leaving a message. You never even know they rang.
An AI virtual receptionist that answers when you can't
Three steps. No apps to install. No setup fee. From the moment a customer calls, OnTools handles it — so you don't have to.
Customer Calls Your Number
When a customer calls your number and you can't answer, the call diverts to your AI receptionist. It opens with a short line letting the caller know they're speaking with your business's AI assistant and that the call is recorded — then it's a friendly conversation in a natural Australian voice. No hold music, no voicemail.
AI Captures the Details
Our AI collects the caller's name, phone number, address, what the job is and how urgent it is. It can answer basic questions about your services, service area and hours, and flags urgent jobs automatically.
You Get an Email Summary
Straight after the call, you get a clear email summary with everything you need — caller details, the job, how urgent it is, and a short summary of the conversation. Call them back when you're ready.
Your best employee — and it never knocks off.
A call answering service for tradies that picks up when you can't — minus the salary, the sick days, and the 5pm exit. OnTools works when you do, and when you don't.
What makes OnTools different
Plenty of AI receptionists can answer a phone. Here's what you get with OnTools that you won't always find elsewhere.
One flat price, every feature
A$199 a month inc. GST covers up to 1,000 AI-answered minutes, urgent SMS alerts and live transfer. Some AI receptionists cap starter plans at a few dozen calls or charge by the minute.
Made for tradies
It asks for what you need to call back and quote: the address, what's wrong and how urgent it is. Burst pipe, sparks or no cooling? You get an instant SMS or a live transfer.
Keep your number, no app
The calls you miss divert from your existing mobile or landline. There's nothing to install, and customers keep ringing the number they already know.
Honest with your callers
Every call opens by saying it's an AI assistant and that the call is recorded. It never pretends to be a person, so your customers know exactly who they're talking to.
