Customer messages come in
A customer sends an inbound WhatsApp message to your business number with the job details.
QUOTING ASSISTANT FOR TRADIES
Turn your notes, photos, and voice into structured draft quotes, ready to review and send.
Your assistant helps turn inbound WhatsApp enquiries into clear draft quotes, so you can review, edit, and send faster.
Draft estimates only. Final pricing may depend on measurements, materials, access, and site inspection.
How it works
A simple quoting workflow for real customer enquiries.
MateNow is designed for inbound customer conversations, not bulk messaging or automated spam.
MateNow prepares a draft
The platform may process text, photos, and voice transcription to identify scope, materials, access, and missing details.
You review before sending
The tradie stays in control. Every quote is a draft estimate for business review before it goes to the customer.
Input types
Built around the way customers already contact tradies.
Customers can describe the job in plain language, send a photo, or leave a voice note. The business still reviews the draft before sending.
Text messages
Turn customer descriptions into structured job notes and draft quote wording.
Voice notes
Transcribe voice notes so busy tradies can quote without typing everything out.
Photos
Use customer images as supporting context when preparing a quote draft.

Trust
Clear boundaries for quote drafting.
MateNow supports business review. It does not replace the judgement of a licensed trade professional.
Draft quotes may be based on customer-provided text, images, and voice transcriptions. Final price, inclusions, exclusions, and timing may change after measurements, materials, site access, and inspection are confirmed by the business.
