What a well-run business
handles automatically

Most local businesses are losing time and money on tasks that could quietly run themselves. Here's where it's happening.

📱
Most popular
Missed call follow-up bot

When a customer calls and nobody answers, an AI SMS fires back within 60 seconds. It greets them, apologises, and offers to book a time. Tradies using this recapture 2–4 extra jobs per month on average.

⏱ Build: 1–2 days💰 $500–900 setup⬆ Very high value

Stops revenue leaking
Google review automation

After every job, a personalised SMS goes out asking for a Google review. Businesses see 3–5x more reviews within 60 days — zero extra effort.

⏱ Build: <1 day💰 $300–600 setup
📅
Cuts no-shows fast
Appointment reminder sequence

Automated SMS reminders at 48h, 24h, and 2h before every appointment. Customers confirm or reschedule by reply. No-show rates drop 30–50%.

⏱ Build: 1–2 days💰 $400–800 setup
🔁
Win back lapsed customers
Re-engagement broadcast

Sends a personalised SMS or email to customers who haven't been in for 60–90 days. Works especially well for salons, clinics, and any business with repeat customers.

⏱ Build: 1–2 days💰 $400–800 setup
💬
Always-on booking
AI website chat & booking bot

Answers FAQs and books appointments 24/7 directly on your website. Replaces the "contact us and we'll get back to you" dead end with an instant, intelligent response any time of day.

⏱ Build: 2–3 days💰 $800–1,500 setup
Highest converting
New lead instant response

When a web form, Facebook Lead Ad, or enquiry comes in, an AI SMS fires back within 90 seconds. Research shows responding in under 5 minutes increases conversion by up to 9x — most businesses take hours or days.

Quote follow-up sequence

An automated sequence nudges at day 2 and day 5 after a quote is sent — and stops the moment they reply. Never chase a quote manually again.

⏱ Build: 1–2 days💰 $500–900 setup
🔄
Hidden pipeline value
Dormant lead reactivation

Pull leads from your CRM or spreadsheet that went cold 30–90 days ago. AI sends a personalised follow-up — typically recovers 10–20% of leads you'd written off.

⏱ Build: 2–4 days💰 $800–1,500 setup
🤝
Grow without ads
Referral request automation

After a positive review or repeat booking, automatically sends a personalised message asking the customer to refer a friend. Can include a discount or reward incentive.

⏱ Build: 1 day💰 $300–600 setup
💸
Cashflow protection
Invoice chasing sequence

Automatically sends payment reminders on the due date, 3 days overdue, and 7 days overdue — each with a slightly firmer tone and a direct payment link. Integrates with Xero and MYOB. Most clients recover 20–30% more outstanding invoices within the first month.

⏱ Build: 1–2 days💰 $500–900 setup⬆ Very high value

Faster cashflow
Job completion & auto-invoice

When a job is marked complete in the field, it automatically generates and sends an invoice via Xero. Eliminates the billing lag that quietly kills cashflow — especially for trade businesses.

⏱ Build: 2–3 days💰 $700–1,200 setup

Eliminate data entry

Automatic document generation

Auto-generates quotes, contracts, welcome packs, or compliance certificates from templates when triggered — e.g. when a job is booked or a new client is onboarded. Saves 20–40 minutes per document.

⏱ Build: 2–3 days💰 $600–1,200 setup
🛡️
Stay compliant easily
Training & compliance reminders

⏱ Build: 1–2 days💰 $400–700 setup
📅
Run a tighter team
Roster & shift notifications

Sends staff their weekly roster via SMS automatically each week. Staff can request swaps by reply, which alerts the manager for quick approval — no group chats, no confusion.

Local people.
Real automations.
No offshore teams.

We're a small NZ-based team that builds automation systems for local businesses. We don't sell software — we come to your business, understand how it works, and build things that run quietly in the background so you can focus on the work you're actually good at.

Every client gets a single point of contact. When something needs adjusting, you call us directly — not a helpdesk in another country.

"I started Offswitch after watching too many good local businesses lose jobs to slow follow-ups and missed calls. The big chains have whole teams handling this stuff — I wanted to give small businesses the same advantage without the overhead."

★★★★★

"I was losing 2–3 jobs a week to missed calls. The follow-up bot paid for itself in the first fortnight. Wish I'd done this years ago."

Owner · Kowalski Plumbing · Auckland
★★★★★

"Our no-show rate dropped by nearly half after the reminder system went in. Fridays used to be chaos — now they're completely calm."

Sarah Lawson
Director · Lawson Physiotherapy · Wellington
★★★★★

"Went from 14 Google reviews to 61 in two months. The requests go out automatically after every job — I don't even think about it."

Owner · Parata Landscaping · Christchurch
★★★★★

"The quote follow-up alone recovered three jobs in the first month that I would have just written off. It's like having an extra staff member that never forgets."

Owner · Rawlinson Electrical · Hamilton
★★★★★

"I was sceptical at first — I'm not a tech person at all. The audit was easy, they explained everything in plain English, and within a week it was just running."
