For owners & managers

On the tools. Off the phone.

You do the work and run the business at the same time. Dayrun answers every call, books the job and chases the estimates, so your evenings are yours again.

Before and after

The same day, handled.

Without Dayrun

  • The phone rings while you're under a sink
  • Missed callers ring the next tradie on the list
  • Estimates go out and nobody follows them up
  • Evenings go on callbacks and tomorrow's jobs

With Dayrun

  • Every call is answered and qualified, day or night
  • Jobs go to the right technician and arrival window
  • Open estimates are followed up until they close
  • Complaints reach you with the whole story
The day

A Tuesday with Dayrun

  1. The owner loading his van in the early morning, reading a message
    6:50 am

    A technician calls in sick

    Max covers the absence and Dex moves the morning's jobs to the technicians who are on. The vans leave the yard on time.

  2. A plumber working under a sink while his phone lights up on the floor
    10:40 am

    You're under a sink and the phone rings

    Ray answers, gets the address and the problem, and qualifies the job. Dex matches it to the right technician and window before the caller rings someone else.

  3. The owner sitting in his van between jobs, reading his phone
    2:15 pm

    A customer is unhappy with last week's job

    Nora takes the complaint and handles the warranty work. You read the whole conversation when you're off the tools.

    Home for dinner

    Leo follows up this week's open estimates and Ray answers the calls that come in after hours. You're at the table, not on the phone.

How Dayrun helps

Three jobs, done every time.

Answers every call

Day or night, on the tools or on the road. Every caller is qualified before the job is booked.

Books the right technician

Jobs are matched on skill, zone and arrival window, and cancellations are backfilled.

Chases open estimates

Every estimate is followed up until it closes, so work you quoted turns into work you do.

The maths

What missed calls cost a trades business.

A typical US home services business, worked out in the open. Cited figures link to their source, and every assumption says so.

1,440Calls a year(assumption)
27%Calls that go unanswered1
38%Of those, real job leads2
45%Leads that book once answered2
$341Average US plumbing job3
Lost every year$22,600
Won back when Dayrun answers every call$11,300Assumes half of those jobs are won back once every call is answered (assumption)

An estimate, not a promise. The call shares are Invoca's own customer data, which leans towards larger businesses running paid ads, and the lead share is for calls from digital marketing. Job values are HomeAdvisor's average homeowner-reported prices for single jobs, so bigger installs would push the figure up. The yearly call count and the 50% are assumptions. The plumbing average is used because it is the lowest of the trade averages HomeAdvisor publishes.
