Confirm an appointment on the call — before they call the competitor
Trades thrive on the phone: bathroom renovation, boiler swap, paint job. Trailo suggests a fitting slot in seconds based on the address. You give a concrete commitment on the call — instead of "I'll get back to you," which often means: order gone.

Order lost because no one called back
What we hear from skilled trades businesses.
Inquiry on the phone, no immediate commitment
"When can you come?" You say "I'll get back to you," look at the plan, call the apprentice — an hour later you call back, the customer is already with the next tradesperson. The inquiry is gone.
Multi-day jobs are a brick in the plan
Bathroom renovation takes a week, boiler swap two days, in between you want maintenance and smaller jobs to run. A nightmare in Excel — material delivery days, follow-up jobs, customer wishes.
Regulars want the same tradesperson
Mrs. Müller has had her tradesperson three times now — he knows where the faucet sticks. If someone different comes every time, trust is gone — and the regular finds someone else.
Tour gets planned at night on the couch
After hours, beer in hand, puzzling next week in Excel. An hour that hurts — and you still forget the material order.

"I'll call back" turns into "Wednesday at 09:00 — works?"

Sample calculation: 6 employees, 4 vehicles
Conservatively calculated based on our pilot customers.
- Daily planning time~ €9,000 45 min/day saved × 220 working days × owner hourly rate €50
- Fuel cost~ €2,400 −15 % × €4,000/year/vehicle × 4 vehicles
- More orders accepted+ 1,320 orders +1 order/employee/day × 6 employees × 220 working days — direct revenue lever from on-call commitments
- Fewer lost inquirieshigher Inquiries that would have gone to the competitor without an immediate commitment — hard to quantify, often the biggest lever
Note on the calculation: Values are based on experience with existing pilot customers and plausible assumptions for a 6-person trades business with 4 vehicles. Individual savings depend strongly on order mix, inquiry volume, region and hourly rates. Plug in your own numbers if you need a reliable forecast.
Specific to skilled trades
How fast do I see a free slot on the phone?
Type the address, in seconds Trailo suggests the best day and time window. You don't have to calculate or call around — the suggestion is there before the call ends.
Can we plan multi-day jobs like bathroom renovations cleanly?
Yes. You set up the order with fixed driver assignment over multiple days. Around it, Trailo can plan flexible stops (material pickup, small maintenance). Fixed and flexible stops mix freely.
Can we set the same tradesperson to come to a regular customer?
Yes. Per customer you can set a preferred tradesperson — Trailo assigns automatically. On vacation or sick leave, override via drag & drop, the plan adapts.
How do tours get to the apprentices?
Daily route as PDF — goes on the phone, on the printer, on the noticeboard. Once the mobile app is live (coming soon), employees get their tour straight on the smartphone, with stop status and notes.
What if my tradespeople have no signal on a building site or in a basement?
Today you export the daily route as a PDF tour list — stops, addresses, time windows, notes — and the team has it offline on the smartphone or printed. A native mobile app with full offline mode (tours stored locally, status updates and photos sync automatically once signal returns) is in active development.
