The Problem

Where trade businesses lose work between the job and the phone

You cannot be up a ladder and on the phone at the same time — and the caller will not wait.

On the tools, not on the phone

Under a sink, on a roof, mid-install — answering is impossible. A first-time customer who hits voicemail does not leave a message; they simply ring the next firm on the list and book them instead.

50–70% of calls missed during the working day

Quoting and call-backs eat the evening

After a full day on site, the owner spends the evening returning missed calls and the weekend writing quotes. The business runs a second, unpaid shift on the phone every single day.

2–3 hours/evening on calls and quotes

Emergencies go to whoever answers first

A burst pipe or a dead boiler is a panic call — the customer rings down the list until someone picks up. The firm that answers wins the call-out; everyone who let it ring loses it.

70% expect a call-back within 2 hours

No office, no backup

Most trade firms have no admin staff. When the owner is on a job, the line is effectively dead — and every unanswered call is a quote, a call-out or a new customer that never gets logged.

4 in 5 trades firms have under 10 staff

The Solution

Job intake, scheduling and.

Job intake that is ready to schedule

Address, trade, fault, access details, urgency and photos by text link are captured and sent to you as a structured job — not a vague voicemail you have to chase to understand.

Site visits booked into the right window

Surveys, repairs and maintenance are booked by job type and travel area straight into your calendar, with realistic time windows instead of an open-ended "sometime Tuesday".

Emergencies routed to the on-call number

A burst pipe, no heating, a power loss or a lockout are recognised, flagged urgent and pushed to the on-call engineer immediately — while routine enquiries wait their turn without blocking the line.

Quote and price questions handled

The standard call-out fee, hourly rate and travel charge you store are quoted on the call; anything bespoke is captured in full and queued for you to price — no half-finished voicemails to decode later.

Every line answered at the Monday peak

When the whole week's backlog rings in at once, every caller is answered in parallel — no engaged tone, no first-time customer lost to a busy signal.

Language barrier removed without an interpreter

Callers are taken in their own language and the job is handed to you cleanly in English — useful on mixed sites and for lettings with international tenants or clients.

Answered while you are on the tools

Calls are picked up on site, in the van and after hours, so you stop choosing between the job in front of you and the phone in your pocket. Nothing rings out to nobody.

Built for customer and site data

Calls, transcripts, addresses and job details are processed exclusively on EU servers, GDPR-compliant, with a signed Data Processing Agreement and a retention period you control.

Configured to your trade

Trades, service area, call-out rates, emergency criteria and on-call hours are all yours to set — it fits a sole trader just as well as a multi-van firm.

Live in minutes, not months

Point your number — or just your overflow — at BHOMY, load your job and emergency rules, and the assistant starts answering the same day. No hardware, no IT project.

Which bhomy modules

The right bhomy modules.

When you are up on the roof you cannot answer the phone — two bhomy modules secure reachability and scheduling for field teams.

Daily Routine

From the first call on the drive to the after-hours summary

What really happens to the phone across a single working day on the tools.

06:30

First calls before the first job

On the drive to a bathroom strip-out, three calls land — a quote query, a boiler-service booking and a call-back request. All captured as structured jobs, nothing missed before you have even arrived.

10:00

Up a ladder, eight calls in an hour

While you are on the roof, the assistant books a survey, reschedules a maintenance visit and takes a new-customer enquiry — in parallel, none of them sent to voicemail.

15:00

Burst pipe at a regular customer

The assistant hears the emergency, captures the address and access details, flags it urgent and pushes it straight to the on-call engineer's phone — no waiting for someone to check messages.

20:00

No call-backs to make tonight

Instead of an hour returning missed calls, you scan one clean summary — every enquiry captured, priced where it could be, prioritised and ready to schedule in the morning.
