Calls, texts and web enquiries land day or night. Every one is answered, sorted and turned into a booked job, so nothing slips while you are on the tools.

With Finova · one hub

0 leads missed. Every call that rings becomes a job that pays.

One call · every time

What happens when your phone rings

Right now, that call could go one of two ways. Here is the difference.

  1. The phone rings

    A customer needs a quote. They saw your ute on the street, your name on the fence, or your listing online. They pick up the phone at half past five on a Tuesday and they dial your number. You are under a house running cable or finishing a job across town. Your hands are full and your phone is in your pocket on silent.

  2. They hit voicemail

    The call drops to your voicemail. Maybe they leave a message, maybe they do not. Either way, they are already moving on. It is after hours, or you are on the tools, and there is no one to answer. The customer just wants to speak to someone who can help them today, not leave a message and wait.

  3. They ring the next bloke

    They scroll down to the next result and dial again. That bloke picks up. He gets the job. The revenue you paid to earn, through ads, referrals, or just building a reputation over years, goes straight into someone else's pocket. And you will never even know you missed it.

  4. With Finova, the call is answered

    Every call is answered, day or night, by a trained receptionist who knows your trade and your business. The customer is greeted by name, their job details are taken, and they are qualified on the spot. No hold music. No voicemail. A real person, every time, no matter where you are or what time it is.

  5. Booked, dispatched, and reviewed

    The job is locked into your calendar before the customer hangs up. A dispatch notification goes straight to you so you know what is coming. Once the job is done, a follow-up goes out to the customer asking for a review. Every call that rings becomes a job that pays, and every job that pays becomes a reputation that grows.

Note Worked from Finova's missed-call model and your own job value, not a universal industry benchmark. Your real numbers come from a free Missed-Job Audit once we look at your line. Estimates only, real figures once we are live.

Calculation method

How the missed-job estimate works

The ledger is an estimate, not an industry benchmark. It uses your weekly call volume, your average job value, and Finova's missed-call model to show how much revenue may be at risk before a free audit reviews your real line data.

calls per week x missed-call risk x booking-loss risk x average job value x 52 weeks

  • Missed-call risk is modeled at 30 percent of weekly calls.
  • Booking-loss risk is modeled at 50 percent of those missed opportunities.
  • Average job value comes from the slider or your audit form input.
  • Final figures are confirmed only after reviewing your actual call flow and job values.

Pays for itself, or you walk

Setup is milestone-billed as the system goes live, so you pay against progress, never all upfront. Your plan begins when reception goes live, the moment it starts earning. At the end of month one we show you exactly what we recovered. If it isn't paying for itself, you walk. Rolling agreement, no lock-in.

By the numbers

Missed calls cost a fortune. Our agents already plug the leak.

Common questions

How quickly can Finova go live?
Most answering systems can go live in about two weeks after the call flow, booking rules, dispatch process, and escalation paths are confirmed.
What is a done-for-you answering service?
A done-for-you answering service does more than take messages. Finova answers calls, collects job details, books work, dispatches urgent jobs, and follows up customers so the trade business does not have to build or manage the system itself.
What does Finova handle for a trade business?
Finova answers calls, captures the job details, books work into your calendar, dispatches urgent jobs, and follows up so missed calls do not turn into lost work.
Is this built for Australian trades and home services?
Yes. Finova is positioned for Australian plumbers, HVAC operators, electricians, and other home-service teams that need calls answered day or night.
Do I have to sign a long lock-in contract?
No. Plans run on a rolling monthly agreement. The system is designed to pay for itself, and you can walk away if it is not earning its keep.
What information does the agent collect from callers?
The call flow can capture the customer name, phone number, suburb, job type, urgency, preferred time, access notes, and any trade-specific details needed for booking or dispatch.
