Industries · Construction & trades

Run the jobs, not the paperwork.

Builders and trade businesses run on a job system, an accounting file, an inbox and a wall of WhatsApp groups that never talk to each other. TAO gives the business one place to run from, with an assistant that keeps quotes, invoices and schedules moving while your people stay on the tools.

Where the hours go

The margin in a trade business leaks between systems: the quote that sat in drafts over a long weekend, the variation that never made it from the site chat to the invoice, the invoice that nobody chased because everyone thought someone else had. Admin eats the evenings, and the person doing it is usually the owner.

The systems you already use, connected

The platforms we most often connect in your trade, two-way. Running something we have not listed? Bring it to the call. If it has an interface, we can usually connect it.

What your assistant does on a job

Four things that happen on their own once the systems can see each other.

01

A quote request lands in the inbox: the draft is ready before smoko, priced from your job system.

02

A variation agreed in the site WhatsApp group becomes a line on the job and the invoice, with your approval.

03

Overdue invoices get chased politely and persistently, and the money gets reconciled in Xero.

04

The Friday wrap-up writes itself: every job, every blocker, every dollar outstanding.

Same story, different systems. TAO connects yours.
How we think about construction & trades

Questions people ask about their industry

Does it work for our industry?

Yes. TAO learns the language and the systems of your trade, and we have built for construction and trades, events and hire, professional services, health clinics, real estate and retail. The industries page shows the systems we most often connect in each.

Which systems can you connect?

We already connect 134 systems across 21 categories, and the list grows every month. The integrations page lists them all. If you run something that is not listed, bring it to the call. If it has an interface, we can usually connect it.

Do you work outside Sydney?

Yes. We are based in Sydney with a team in Singapore, and we work with businesses across Australia and beyond. Discovery and training happen on a call or on site, whichever suits the business.

One conversation about how your business works.

Half an hour with the people who would build it. Then a proposal for exactly what TAO should take off your plate.
