You're working harder than ever
and still falling behind

You didn't build your business to spend half your day chasing paperwork. But right now, that's exactly what's happening — and the cost is real.

Every slow quote is a job your competitor might win. Every missed call is a customer who went elsewhere. Every overdue invoice is cash you're owed but don't have. And every day, it all happens again.

The worst part? You know what needs fixing. You just can't find the time to fix it.

01

Quoting is eating your day

"We spend half our day just doing quotes. Half of them we don't even win." — Sound familiar? Manual quoting is your biggest time-thief.

02

Inquiries fall through the cracks

Calls after hours. WhatsApp messages buried in someone's personal phone. Email quotes never followed up. Every missed inquiry is revenue walking out the door.

03

Chasing invoices is awkward and slow

4–8 hours a week reminding people to pay you. It's uncomfortable, it damages relationships, and it still doesn't work fast enough.

04

Good customers go quiet — and you don't notice until it's too late

By the time you realise a regular account has stopped ordering, they're already buying from someone else. And the revenue is already gone.

The fix

What if the admin ran itself — and you just ran the business?

Adept AI builds done-for-you AI systems that handle your quoting, invoice follow-up, and customer inquiries — automatically, accurately, and in your voice.

We plug into the systems you already use — MYOB, Xero, Pronto, Unleashed — and set everything up for you. No IT department. No tech headaches. No training your team on complicated new software.

Your team carries on exactly as they do now. The AI handles what's slowing them down.

Week 1–2

We build it, not you

My team connects to your systems — your way of working, your pricing, your tone. We build the automations in the background. You don't lift a finger.

Week 3–4
3

Test, refine, launch

We run everything past you before it touches a customer. You see the outputs, make any changes, and give the go-ahead. Nothing goes live without your approval.

Day 30+
4

You see the results

Quotes go out faster. Invoices get paid sooner. Inquiries get answered at 10pm. You get a monthly report showing exactly what the system is doing for your business.

What changes

Real outcomes for trade suppliers — not promises

These aren't projections. They're what businesses like yours actually experience.

Quotes out the door in minutes, not hours

Your quoting assistant pulls live pricing from your system, applies the right margin for each customer, and sends a professional quote — while you're on the floor or on the phone. Same day, every time.

Save 8–12 hours per week
📞

Never miss another inquiry

After-hours calls, weekend WhatsApp messages, emails that arrive at 6am — your AI handles the first response immediately, every time. No more Monday morning inbox of missed opportunities.

24/7 coverage, zero effort
💰

Get paid faster — without the awkward calls

Automated payment reminders go out in your voice, at the right time, to the right accounts. Polite but persistent. Most businesses see overdue accounts drop within 60 days.

30–40% less overdue debt
📊

Know which customers are going quiet — before it costs you

Your dashboard flags account activity in real time. When a regular customer drops off, you know about it immediately — not three months later when the revenue's already gone.

Catch churn early
🛡️

Stop bad debt before it happens

Your system monitors payment patterns and flags accounts trending toward risk. You extend credit with confidence — not gut feel — and you see warning signs early enough to act.

Protect your P&L
🔧

Your knowledge stays in the business — not in someone's head

When your best rep leaves, your AI doesn't. Customer preferences, pricing history, follow-up schedules — all captured and working automatically, regardless of who's on that day.

Eliminate key-person risk
What you get

Everything you need — nothing you don't

A fully managed AI system, built and maintained by us. No subscriptions to manage, no software to learn.

AI quoting assistant

Automatically generates accurate, customer-specific quotes from your live pricing — pulling directly from MYOB, Xero, or your ERP. Sent in your format, in your voice.

24/7 inquiry responder

Handles inbound enquiries by phone, email, and WhatsApp after hours. Answers stock, pricing, and delivery questions. Escalates anything complex to your team.

Accounts receivable automation

Personalised, polite payment reminders sent automatically at the right intervals. You set the rules; the system does the follow-up. No more awkward calls.

Customer churn detection

Monitors buying patterns across all accounts and flags when a regular customer goes quiet. Gives you a reason to reach out before the relationship — and the revenue — is lost.

MYOB / Xero / ERP integration

Everything connects to your existing systems. No manual data entry. No duplicate records. Your AI works from live, accurate information — not spreadsheets.

Monthly performance report

A plain-English report each month showing exactly what the system did: quotes sent, inquiries handled, invoices chased, accounts flagged. You see the value clearly.

Ongoing support & optimisation

This isn't a set-and-forget software subscription. We actively monitor, tune, and improve your system every month. If something isn't working, we fix it — fast.

Human review layer — nothing touches customers without your say-so

Every customer-facing output can include a human approval step. Your AI drafts; your team approves. You stay in control at every point that matters.

Who's behind this

I'm not a tech person who learned about construction.
I'm a construction person who learned tech.

I spent 30 years in the trade — as a supplier, a distributor, and someone who's stood on both sides of the counter. I know what it feels like when your best estimator quits and takes the pricing knowledge with him. I know what it costs when a builder goes under owing you $60,000. I know what a Friday afternoon quote that doesn't go out looks like on the Monday morning P&L.

A few years ago, I started exploring what AI could do for businesses like the ones I'd worked in and around my whole career. Not the enterprise stuff. Not the corporate systems that cost a fortune and need an IT team to run. The practical stuff — tools that could handle the repetitive grind and give small business owners their time back.

What I found was that the AI tools existed. But nobody was building them for the trade. Everyone was targeting professional services, fintech, or enterprise. The timber merchants, the roofing suppliers, the fastener distributors — they were being left behind.

That's why I started Adept AI Agency. To build the tools I wish existed when I was in the thick of it — and to help the businesses that keep construction moving get the same productivity that big companies take for granted.

Got questions?

The things trade suppliers ask us most

Straight answers — no tech spin.

If your team spends significant time each day on quoting, invoice follow-up, or answering the same customer questions repeatedly — then yes. The ROI is straightforward: if the system saves 10 hours of staff time per week at $35/hour, that's $1,400/month returned. Most of our clients see the value clearly within the first 30 days.
We don't publish a price list because every business is different. What we do is work out — on your free discovery call — what the actual ROI would be for your specific situation, and price accordingly. What we can tell you is that most clients pay for the system in the first month through time saved and faster invoice collection.
Yes. Integration with MYOB AccountRight, MYOB Business, Xero, Pronto Xi, Unleashed, and OSTENDO is a core part of what we build. If you run your business on one of these systems, we can connect to it. If you're unsure, bring it up on the discovery call and we'll tell you straight away.
Most clients are seeing results within 30 days of our first call. We handle all the technical setup — you don't need to do anything except give us access to your systems and spend a couple of hours with us in the first week to make sure we've got your processes right. After that, it runs itself.
This is the question we get most often, and it's the right one to ask. We always include a human review layer for customer-facing outputs — especially in the first few months. The AI drafts; a human approves before anything goes to a customer. Over time, as you build confidence, you decide which parts run fully automatically and which stay with a review step. You stay in control.
Our system is designed to work around your team — not demand they change how they work. The AI handles tasks in the background through the systems they already use. There's no new dashboard to log into, no training program to sit through. Most staff notice that the repetitive stuff just stops landing on their desk. That tends to be popular.
Your business data stays yours. We operate under strict data handling agreements, your information is stored on Australian servers, and we never use your data for anything other than running your system. We're happy to walk you through the specifics on a call — transparency here is non-negotiable.
No lock-in. Cancel anytime with 30 days notice. We'd rather you leave if it's not working than stay on something that isn't delivering value. We're confident enough in the results that we don't need to trap people into contracts. That said — we do everything in our power to make sure it works before you'd ever need to ask.
