You're on the tools. Your phone's still answering.
Every call you can't pick up is a job walking to the next tradie. Tradie Catch answers it, books the job straight into your own calendar, next to jobs you've already got in that area, and texts you the details in plain English.
- Books live into your Google, Outlook or iPhone calendar
- Groups jobs by area, so you drive less
- First month free, then $399/month
- No lock-in. No app. Set up once with a call divert.
In home services, a person answered only about 52% of inbound calls. The rest never got a human on the line.

A missed call answering service for Australian tradies
Tradie Catch is an AI receptionist for plumbers, electricians, builders and other trades across Australia. When you can't get to the phone, your missed calls divert to it. If the caller hangs up first, it sends a missed call text back within seconds. When it's switched on, a friendly Australian AI voice answers, takes down the job, the suburb, the address, how urgent it is and the caller's name, then books them straight into your own Google, Outlook or iPhone calendar while they're on the phone. It only books suburbs you cover, groups jobs by area so you drive less, and allows driving time between jobs.
It works as an after hours answering service for tradies too: any call you don't pick up gets caught, whether you're on a roof, under a house or home for tea. Emergencies are texted straight to you during the call. Everything else arrives as one plain-English text per job, and you reply "book 2pm", "yep book it" or "I'll ring them". Customers who text instead of ringing get a text assistant that books them into the same calendar.
Looking for an AI receptionist for plumbers in Australia, a call answering service for sparkies, or a virtual receptionist for builders? There's no app to download and no lock-in contract. Setup is a one-time call divert on Telstra, Optus or Vodafone. It never quotes prices outside your own price guide, sends a weekly scorecard by text, and is hosted in Australia.
