The admin role,
replaced by autopilot.

Tom runs pool barrier inspections across Victoria. The next hire was going to be a full-time admin — instead, we built the site and wired it into the systems he already used, so an enquiry becomes a booked job with the paperwork half done. Admin dropped from 30 minutes a job to 2, and operations now run on 95% autopilot.

The shape of the growth

A website that captures and qualifies, wired straight into the tools Tom already used — so an enquiry becomes a booked job with the paperwork half done. The admin never needed hiring; the system carries it.

Pat at ServiceScale helped my business extremely well. By helping us cut down admin time and post inspection work from 30 minutes a job to 2 minutes a job. He also set us up to maximise the technology and software we were using, and introduced us to some other software that made our lives and work much easier and more efficient and productive.

How it was built

The engine room

Not just a website — the systems around it. Built by a team that gets trades, wired by the engineer who ran the tech at an ASX-listed software company.

14 days

From kick-off to live

2 min

Admin per job, from 30

  1. Week 0 · Discovery

    Map the day

    We walked Tom's day end to end — where leads came from, where they got lost, and where the 30 minutes of post-inspection admin was leaking out of every job.

  2. Week 1–2 · Build

    A site that qualifies

    Mobile-first build with copy written for the trade, a before-and-after gallery, and click-to-call plus an enquiry form on every screen. No template filler.

  3. Week 2 · Wire-up

    Enquiry → booked job

    We connected the site to the software Tom already used, and introduced a couple more, so an enquiry lands as a booked job with the paperwork half done — 30 minutes of admin down to 2.

  4. Launch

    Own the lot

    Live in around two weeks. Every login handed over, a short walkthrough of the bits he'd actually use, and the site earning from day one.

  5. Ongoing · Compounding

    The flywheel

    With 95% of the day-to-day running itself, the freed-up time went into the work: reviews stacked past 200 five-star, organic traffic grew 500%, and Tom picked up the SPASA 2024 Inspector of the Year title.
