No technology like this exists anywhere else for tradies — in Australia or anywhere in the world. Your customers text your dedicated Tradewin number. Tradewin builds the quote. You approve it with one tap.
Or — for jobs you know inside-out — it sends itself.
First, it learns your real costs
Photo or PDF of any invoice or receipt — straight from your phone.
Vision AI pulls each item, unit price and GST. Unreadable values are flagged, never guessed.
Real prices, ready to price every future job on what materials actually cost you.
A customer texts. Tradewin reads it, prices it on your real costs, and sends the quote back — before you’ve put your tools down.
New SMS enquiry detected and parsed automatically.
Illustrative walkthrough with a representative sample job — not live customer data.
Every missed or delayed quote is a lost job. And most tradies are losing several a week without knowing it.
2:14 PM
A potential customer texts asking for a quote. You see it. You’re mid-job. You’ll get to it tonight.
11:30 PM
Dinner, the kids, one more job that ran late. You had every intention. The quote didn’t happen.
Next morning
Someone else was faster. The job you would have won — gone. This happens multiple times every single week.
Tradewin fixes the gap — while you’re still on the tools.
Your customer gets a response instantly. You get a notification when it’s ready to send.
The entire pipeline runs automatically. Your only job is to approve — or set it to auto-send for jobs you know cold.
Share your number on your website, business card, or van. When a customer texts looking for a quote, Tradewin catches it instantly — no matter what time it is, no matter what you’re doing.
Within seconds, your customer receives an automated reply with a short link. The link opens a fast, mobile-first form where they enter their name and describe the job. No app download. No account. Just a phone.
The moment your customer submits, Tradewin pulls your saved rates for that job type and runs them through the profit engine — the same engine you use in the calculator. The quote is built from your real costs, not a guess.
A notification lands on your dashboard. Open the Review & Send panel — it shows the customer’s name, job details, your full cost breakdown, the profit-optimised price, and an editable quote field with live profit feedback. Everything you need to make a decision in seconds.
Tap Send — or adjust the price first. The customer receives your branded professional quote with Accept and Decline buttons, just like any other Tradewin quote. Their response updates your dashboard automatically.
Customer texts at 2pm. Quote is ready before 2:01.
Without you lifting a finger until you choose to approve it.
For job types you've priced a hundred times — standard inspections, regular maintenance, recurring work — enable auto-approve. Customer texts, the quote builds, it sends. You show up.
You're in control of which job types get auto-approved. Everything else comes to you for review first. It's automation on your terms.

Most tradies spend 6–10 hours a week on quoting, follow-up, and admin. That's a full working day, every week, that doesn't show up in the job rate.
Your customer describes the job on their own time. You review the quote on your own time. No back-and-forth. No missed calls.
Tradies who respond first win more jobs. Your auto-response is instant — before any competitor has even seen the message.
No pile of unanswered messages sitting in your phone. Every inbound job request becomes a draft quote, automatically.
The gap between the text and the quote is where you lose jobs.
Tradewin closes that gap to zero. While you're on the tools, your quoting pipeline keeps running. Every inbound enquiry is handled. Every job gets a professional response. Nothing falls through.
“Customer texted at 8:30 in the morning while I was on the roof. By the time I came down for lunch there was already a quote waiting for me to approve. Sent it in two taps. She accepted that afternoon.”

“I used to lose track of enquiries all the time. Phone’s always in my pocket but the follow-up never happened. Now I miss nothing. Every job gets a quote, automatically.”

Just their name and a brief description of the job — the same thing they’d say if they called you. Tradewin handles the rest automatically.
No. By default, every inbound quote comes to you for review first. You see the full cost breakdown, the profit-optimised price, and an editable quote before anything goes to your customer. Auto-approve is an optional Business-tier feature you enable selectively for job types you’re confident pricing.
Save your costs once in the calculator for each job type. Tradewin uses those saved rates as the foundation for every auto-generated quote — so the first time you save costs for a job type, all future inbound requests for that job are automatically priced from your real numbers.
All 40+ trades and hundreds of specific job subtypes that Tradewin supports in the calculator work with SMS Auto-Quote. Electrical, plumbing, carpentry, painting, tiling, concreting, roofing, landscaping, and many more.
After signing up for Pro or Business, go to Account → Integrations and provision your dedicated Australian mobile number in under a minute. Share the number with customers and it’s live immediately.
The request comes through to your Review & Send queue as normal. Tradewin will build a quote using market-rate estimates for that job type, and you can adjust the price before sending. It’s a prompt to save your own rates for that job type for next time.
SMS Auto-Quote is available on Pro and Business plans. Set up your dedicated number in under a minute.
