The business suite
LYD Plumber is business software for Australian plumbers and handymen. It answers the phone, books the job, chases the quote and keeps the paperwork on track.
We set it up. We manage it. You get back to the job. It's the plumbing and handyman edition of Launch Your Dream, the AI business suite from Sharktech Global.
The problem
The platform

Answers every call, books the job and texts you the details while you work.

Every missed call gets an instant text with a booking link, so the job does not go to the next number on Google.

A fast StoryBrand website with a page for every service and suburb you want to win.

One place for every call, quote, job and invoice, with follow-up that runs itself.

Rank on Google and get named when people ask AI assistants for a plumber near them.

Campaigns for the jobs you want, tracked to booked work rather than clicks.

A review request after every finished job, and every review answered.

Quotes, invoices and text-to-pay, so you get paid before you leave the driveway.
Why LYD Plumber
