Use case 01

Trades & field services

Plumbers, electricians, pest control, landscaping — businesses that live on the phone and in the van.

Neon crossed wrench and spanner — trades and field services

A new enquiry lands on your website at 9pm. Enki replies within seconds, asks the right questions, books a quote visit into Thursday's run and puts the lead in your pipeline. After the job, the invoice goes out automatically — and if it isn't paid in a fortnight, Enki follows up so you don't have to.

  • Leads answered instantly, on any channel — even from the top of a ladder.
  • Quotes and job bookings handled by conversation.
  • Invoices sent on completion and chased politely.
  • Customer and site history on hand at every visit.
Use case 02

Cleaning & home services

Bond cleans, regular runs, one-off jobs — margins that live and die on scheduling.

Neon spray bottle with sparkles — cleaning services

A property manager emails a list of six end-of-lease cleans for next week. Enki quotes each from your rates, slots them around the existing runs, confirms with the agency, and texts each cleaner their day sheet. A client reschedules? The run re-shuffles and everyone's notified — before you've heard about it.

  • Recurring runs, one-offs and re-schedules kept in a tidy calendar.
  • Quotes from your own rate card, sent in minutes.
  • Day sheets to staff by SMS or WhatsApp each morning.
  • Invoice-and-chase on autopilot after every job.
Use case 03

Fitness & studios

Gyms, martial arts, yoga and dance studios — memberships, timetables and a community to keep engaged.

Neon dumbbell with pulse line — gyms and studios

A member messages to freeze their membership while they travel. Enki handles the freeze, confirms the dates, and notes to check in when they're back. Meanwhile the week's class schedule fills itself: waitlists move up, reminders go out, no-shows get a friendly nudge.

  • Memberships, class schedules and bookings managed in one place.
  • Member questions answered on WhatsApp and SMS.
  • Renewals, freezes and payment issues handled by conversation.
  • Attendance and revenue summaries on demand.
Use case 04

Property & real estate

Agencies and property businesses juggling listings, inspections, owners and buyers.

Neon house with key — property and real estate

A buyer asks about Saturday's open home. Enki answers with the details, registers them for the inspection, and adds them to the buyer list for similar properties. After the weekend, every attendee gets a follow-up and the owner gets a report — drafted, branded and sent.

  • Enquiries answered and registered around the clock.
  • Inspection scheduling and follow-ups run themselves.
  • Owner reports and appraisal documents drafted in your branding.
  • Buyer and tenant records kept current without data entry.
Use case 05

Professional services

Consultants, agencies, brokers and advisers — businesses built on documents, deadlines and relationships.

Neon briefcase with signed document — professional services

You finish a client call and tell Enki what was agreed. The proposal is drafted in your template, the engagement moves along your pipeline, the kick-off meeting lands in both calendars, and the first invoice is scheduled — from one message.

  • Proposals, contracts and reports drafted from your notes.
  • Pipelines that reflect reality without manual updates.
  • Billing and follow-up handled end to end.
  • Every client's history remembered across the years.
Use case 06

Retail & e-commerce

Shopfronts and online stores — orders, stock, and customers who expect answers now.

Neon shopping bag with barcode — retail and e-commerce

A customer asks if the popular size is back in stock. Enki checks Shopify, answers with what's on the shelf, and takes the order on the spot. Behind the counter it's watching the numbers too: low stock flagged before it sells out, the weekend's sales summarised Monday morning.

  • Product and order questions answered from your live stock, any channel.
  • Point of sale, payments and inventory in the built-in apps — or synced with Shopify and Square.
  • Low-stock alerts and reorder lists before the shelf goes empty.
  • Sales summaries and best-seller reports on demand.
Use case 07

Hospitality & venues

Cafes, restaurants and venues — bookings, functions and reviews that never stop.

Neon coffee cup and cloche — hospitality and venues

A table of twelve wants Saturday night. Enki checks the floor, takes the booking, collects the deposit and sends the function menu. The morning after, every no-show gets a polite note, the regulars get remembered, and the week's covers land in your inbox before the first coffee.

  • Bookings and function enquiries answered around the clock.
  • Deposits collected and reminders sent — fewer no-shows.
  • Function quotes and menus drafted in your branding.
  • Regulars remembered: names, tables, allergies, occasions.
Use case 08

Clinics & health practices

Allied health, dental, physio, vets — appointment books that have to stay full and admin that never ends.

Neon stethoscope around a calendar — clinics and health practices

A cancellation opens up a 2pm slot. Enki works the waitlist, fills the gap, and confirms with the new patient by SMS. Reminders go out the day before every appointment, new-patient forms arrive filled in, and the recall list quietly books itself back in.

  • Appointments booked, confirmed and reshuffled without the front desk drowning.
  • Reminders and recalls that keep the book full.
  • New-client intake forms collected before arrival.
  • Invoicing and payment follow-up handled politely.
Use case 09

Hair & beauty

Salons, barbers, brows and nails — a fully booked column is the whole business.

Neon scissors and comb — hair and beauty salons

A client DMs on Instagram asking for a cut and colour this week. Enki offers the two gaps that fit the service time, books one, takes the deposit and adds the colour formula notes from last visit for the stylist. Quiet Tuesday? Enki messages the regulars who are due.

  • Bookings from Instagram, SMS or web chat straight into the column.
  • Deposits and no-show protection built into every booking.
  • Client history — formulas, preferences, birthdays — at every visit.
  • Slow days filled with well-timed 'you're due' messages.
Use case 10

Automotive & workshops

Mechanics, detailers, tyre shops — bays to fill, parts to chase, customers to keep in the loop.

Neon car with wrench — automotive workshops

A regular texts 'car's making that noise again'. Enki books the bay, orders the likely part against the last job's notes, and sends the drop-off reminder. When the mechanic flags extra work, Enki messages the customer with the quote — approved in one tap, invoice ready at pickup.

  • Bookings and bay scheduling handled by conversation.
  • Service history per vehicle, recalled instantly.
  • Approval requests for extra work sent and tracked mid-job.
  • Service-due reminders that bring customers back.
