A week with Voquo

From the missed call to the tax return.

Monday

Missed the call. Kept the job.

Your voicemail points at your own link, voquo.io/yourcompanyname. The customer describes the job in their own words, adds photos, leaves their number. Next morning Voquo opens on what today needs from you.

VoquoHome
Morning, Sam. Two jobs today, 14 miles apart. James Brent texted about the kitchen. One invoice overdue.

Tuesday

Say the job, or type it.

No neat sentences needed. Voquo prices it from your list and hands you a draft to check. Typing works exactly the same way, for when you are in the house and would rather not talk to your phone.

Thursday

Voquo chases for you.

Estimates that go unanswered and invoices that go unpaid get one polite follow-up, in the morning, and never a second. Anything you have already chased yourself is left alone.

Your prices

It learns your prices. Not someone else’s.

Every estimate teaches it how you price and how you word things. Drag the tape.

Day one

Start with your day rates, or a full price list built with tradesmen in your trade. Anything it cannot price says so.

A month in

Filling in your rates, recognising your regulars, pulling their address from the last job.

Two years on

Every job, note, photo and price stays against the customer. Walk back into a house you did in 2024 with the whole thing in front of you.

Questions

Fair questions.

Which trades is it for?

Every trade can use it today. Electricians, plumbers and gas engineers, joiners, and painters and decorators each come with a full price list built with tradesmen rather than guessed, and the wording and certificates follow from it. Everyone else, landscapers, tilers, plasterers, roofers, handymen, picks General trades at signup: you start with your labour rates and your price list builds itself from the first few jobs you estimate, in your own words at your own prices. Builders and HVAC get their full lists next, and their signup buttons take your email so you hear first.

Does it replace my accountant?

No, and it does not file anything with HMRC. What it does is stop you turning up to your accountant with a carrier bag. Your income, costs, VAT, mileage and CIS come out as one clean spreadsheet for whichever period they asked for, which is usually the part you are paying them to untangle.

Do I have to talk to it?

No. Every capture screen takes typing exactly the same way it takes speech. Speaking is faster when your hands are full, which is why it exists, but nothing in Voquo requires it.

What if it gets the price wrong?

You see every line before anything is sent, and each one is tappable. Voquo also shows which lines it priced from your list and which it could not price, so you know exactly where to look.

What happens to a receipt it cannot read?

It says so. Anything Voquo is unsure about sits in a short list waiting for you rather than being filed on a guess, and anything still unchecked is spelled out at the bottom of the export so your accountant knows too.

Will it email my customers behind my back?

Nothing is sent without you. Follow-ups are off until you switch them on, and when they are on each estimate or invoice gets one polite nudge and never a second. You are copied on every one.

Does it work on site with no signal?

You need a connection for the estimate to be built and sent, since the pricing happens on our servers. Add Voquo to your home screen and it opens like a normal app. On iPhone, voice recording needs Safari.

What if I stop paying?

Your records stay readable and exportable rather than being locked behind the paywall, because they are your legal records and you may need them years later. Email hello@voquo.io any time and we will get you an export.

Stop doing the paperwork at ten at night.

Set up takes a few minutes. Your first estimate can go out today.
