One build we've shipped — AI phone receptionist
Aoife · AI Receptionist "Hi, thanks for calling Murphy Heating & Plumbing, you're speaking with Aoife. How can I help?"
Caller "I've no hot water and the boiler's making a weird noise."
Aoife "Sorry to hear that — let's get someone out to you. Can I grab your name, address and Eircode, and is anyone in the house able to smell gas at all?"
Don't believe an AI can handle your customers? This is one system we've built — see what else we make below.
Straight From The Founder

A 2-minute look at how we actually work

FlashBooked video preview
Less chasing. More clarity.

Keep enquiries, jobs and payments moving.

Catch every enquiry

Bring calls and messages together, with follow-up that keeps potential jobs moving.

Cut the paperwork

Connect quotes, scheduling and invoices so your team stops entering the same details twice.

Know what needs attention

See outstanding quotes, upcoming work and unpaid invoices in one place.

Every Business Is Different

Built around your trade.

Choose your trade to explore the workflows we can help with.

Plumbers & Heating

Job-to-invoice automation and payment chasing — so finishing the job means getting paid, not admin at 9pm.

Electricians

Phone, WhatsApp and email enquiries pulled into one pipeline with automatic follow-up, instead of three inboxes.

Fleet & Trade Companies

Van tracking, maintenance schedules and inspections in one dashboard instead of a filing cabinet.

Cleaning & Detailing

Quote calculator through to booking, reminders and review requests — one flow, no manual chasing.

Builders & Scaffolders

A job dashboard covering subcontractors, materials, progress and invoicing, all in one place.

See a dedicated example for Plumbers, Electricians, Heating & Gas Engineers, Solar Installers, EV Charger Installers, Car Detailing or Locksmiths.

How It Works

From workflow audit to working system.

We map the problem, agree a fixed price, then build and connect the tools your team needs.

What We Build

The tools your business needs.

✓

Invoice Automation

Job details flow straight into an invoice and out the door — no typing it up after hours.

✓

Job & Scheduling Management

See what's booked, in progress and overdue, without juggling a whiteboard or three apps.

✓

Quoting Systems

Turn enquiries into accurate quotes fast, and chase them automatically until accepted or declined.

✓

Fleet & Vehicle Dashboards

Track vehicles, maintenance schedules and inspections in one place instead of a filing cabinet.

✓

CRM & Customer Tracking

Every customer, job and conversation in one system — nothing falls through the cracks.

✓

Automated Follow-Up

Old enquiries, unpaid invoices and past customers get worked automatically instead of forgotten.

✓

AI Phone & WhatsApp Systems

Like Aoife below — answering calls or messages and booking jobs directly into your calendar.

✓

Custom Integrations

Connected to what you already use — Xero, QuickBooks, Stripe, Twilio, Google Calendar and more.

In Action

See two custom systems in action.

These are just two examples of what we build.

Voice Receptionist

Answers the phone, books the job

This is Aoife — one AI phone system we've built. Answers every call, qualifies the customer, and books directly into the calendar.

WhatsApp Quote Bot

Answers WhatsApp, quotes the job

Built for businesses whose customers message instead of call — reads what they're asking for and replies instantly with a price from your own price list.

Customer "How much for a deep clean on my SUV?"
WhatsApp Bot · Mobile Detailing Example "That's €120 for a Deep Clean on a large vehicle/SUV — want me to book you in?"
How AI handles emergencies, pricing and handoffs

AI builds know their limits

Where a build includes AI phone or WhatsApp handling, it's a booking system, not a technician — it never improvises safety advice or quotes a price it isn't authorised to give.

  • Suspected gas leak → immediate escalation, no troubleshooting
  • Carbon monoxide alarm, flooding, fire, electrical hazard → immediate human handoff
  • Pricing → only what you've explicitly approved, or "a technician will confirm"

You set the escalation rules

Every business chooses its own handoff logic:

  • Emergency → call the owner directly
  • Existing customer complaint → route to the office
  • Outside your service area → politely decline
  • Uncertain → human escalation, every time

Every system is built around your business — book a workflow audit and we'll tell you which pieces fit yours.

Pricing

Every build is different, so every price is too.

A quick admin fix isn't priced like a full multi-system platform. Projects are priced based on the system we're building — book a free workflow audit and we'll scope it before you commit.

FAQ

Straight answers.

What kind of systems does FlashBooked actually build?

We build the system needed to fix the specific bottleneck in your business — invoice automation, job and scheduling management, quoting systems, fleet dashboards, CRM and customer tracking, automated follow-up, AI phone or WhatsApp systems, or a combination. We start from your process, not a fixed product.

How much does it cost?

It depends on the system we're building — a small automation costs less than a multi-system platform. We scope your project on a free workflow audit and agree a fixed price before any work starts.

What software or tools does this connect to?

Whatever you already use — Xero, QuickBooks, Stripe, Twilio, WhatsApp, Google Calendar, Outlook, or your existing job-management software. We build around your current stack rather than asking you to replace it.

Do I need to change my phone number or existing systems?

No. Whatever we build connects to what you already use. If your build includes call handling, you keep your existing business number and calls route exactly how you choose.

What can't the AI do, in builds that include it?

It never gives technical safety advice, never improvises a price you haven't approved, and always escalates anything urgent or unclear — gas leaks, carbon monoxide alarms, flooding, fire, electrical hazards — straight to a human.

How do we get started?

Book a free workflow audit. We map your current process, tell you honestly where the biggest bottleneck is, and scope a fixed-price build around it — no obligation to proceed.

Have a process that's slowing your business down?

Show us how it works today. We'll tell you whether we can build something better — no obligation.
