Alfred
Who it's for

For people who renovate homes, and have no time for admin.

Alfred isn't designed for a single trade. It's designed for a way of working: small businesses, up to 10 people, where the owner looks after the clients, sets appointments, sends quotes and answers messages in spare moments.

Do you recognise yourself in at least two of these?

The trade matters little. These signs matter: if you have at least two, Alfred saves you time every day.

Requests come in on WhatsApp and by email, often while you're busy.

You set appointments, viewings or site visits and have to remind everyone.

You send quotes and documents and then have to chase the answers.

You're often out of the office: on site, in the workshop, in the car, with a client.

The same assistant, six different trades

Choose the job closest to yours. A message arrives, Alfred understands who it is and what's needed, checks the calendar, prepares the reply, you approve, and everything ends up in its place. People and data are invented.

The same day

Before and after Alfred

An ordinary day for an owner, step by step. Move the switch: on the left what you do, on the right what Alfred does by itself.

  1. 7:30

    In the car, before leaving

    1. 23 emails and WhatsApps since last night.
    2. You start reading them at the traffic lights.
    3. You answer 3, in a hurry, from your phone.
    4. You reach the first appointment: the other 20 stay there.

    Alfred worked overnight

    • Read the 23 messages
    • Linked them to the right client
    • Transcribed the 4 voice notes
    • Saved photos and PDFs in the folders
    • Prepared 16 replies

    You: over coffee you read, tweak two words, press Send. In a few minutes you've answered everyone.

  2. 10:00

    During the site visit

    1. The phone buzzes: the 3 you answered are answering back.
    2. One suggests a time: you have to check your diary, you'll do it later.
    3. Another sends the measurements: they stay in the chat.
    4. A new contact from the website has been waiting since last night.

    While you talk to the client

    • Reads the replies as they arrive
    • Checks the diary and finds free slots
    • Prepares the appointment confirmation
    • Saves the measurements in the client's folder
    • Sends the first reply to the new contact (if you switched it on)

    You: between one client and the next you glance at the dashboard and approve.

  3. 12:30

    At lunch

    1. You reopen the chat and scroll to find what they asked.
    2. You open the calendar, look for a gap, suggest a time.
    3. Reply: «not that time». You start over.
    4. The measurements? You search through photos and downloads.

    The client says «not that time»

    • Has already found two more free slots
    • Has prepared the new proposal
    • Puts the appointment in the calendar when they confirm
    • Sets the reminder for the day before

    You: one click on Send. Lunch is lunch.

  4. 15:00

    On site

    1. A two-minute voice note arrives: «I'll listen later».
    2. A supplier asks for confirmation by today.
    3. You promise Bianchi the quote by Friday. You make a mental note.

    While you work

    • Transcribes the voice note and writes a summary
    • Puts it in the client's diary
    • Prepares the confirmation to the supplier, marked urgent
    • Turns the promise to Bianchi into a deadline

    You: you approve the urgent one from your phone, the rest waits for you without getting lost.

  5. 17:30

    At the office

    1. «Did we send the quote to Rossi?»
    2. You search the inbox, then the chats, then call a colleague.
    3. Twenty minutes later: yes, on the 21st. And Rossi never replied.

    You ask Alfred, even by voice

    • Searches emails, chats and diary
    • Answers: «Sent on the 21st, no reply»
    • Already has a polite follow-up ready, in your style

    You: ten seconds, and the follow-up goes out with your OK.

  6. 20:00

    At home

    1. You remember the 20 messages from the morning. You catch up on 8.
    2. The follow-up to Rossi? Tomorrow.
    3. Meanwhile the new contact from the website has called another firm.

    There's nothing to catch up on

    • Wrote everything in the day's log
    • Updated records, diaries and calendar
    • Sent the reminders for tomorrow's appointments

    You: close the computer. Tomorrow morning the dashboard is ready again.

11messages handled out of 31

3things to remember

A sample day, with invented numbers: it shows the steps, it isn't a measurement.

Who uses it, and what they gain

Six families of trades with the same struggle: many clients, many channels, little admin help.

  • Dates, deposits and details in the client's diary.
  • Reminders before every event or lesson.

Regulated professions. If your business requires special authorisations or has specific confidentiality duties (professional bodies, professional secrecy, sensitive client data), before starting we assess together what Alfred may and may not read, and put it in writing.

What changes in your day

Alfred doesn't take away your relationship with clients: it takes away the work of writing, remembering and filing.

You reply sooner

The replies are ready when you open Alfred: you check them and send them in seconds.

You don't lose the thread

Every promise has a deadline and every quiet client a follow-up ready.

You always know where you stand

Every client's diary tells the whole story, in order. Even to a colleague taking over.

Information reaches the people who need it

Orders to the orders office, measurements to the technician, photos to the team: Alfred prepares the handover, you approve.

Groups don't slip past you

In site and team chats Alfred flags what concerns you, even if the group is muted.

Your management software stays up to date

Alfred connects to the management software or CRM you already use and records activities and notes there. You don't copy anything by hand any more.

Alfred is right for you if…

  • you use email and WhatsApp Business to work with clients;
  • you have at least a few dozen clients or open deals;
  • you want to stay the one who decides what is written to clients;
  • you work on a Mac (the Windows version is in the works).

It may not be for you if…

  • you already have a secretary handling all messages;
  • you are more than 10 people, with a complex company CRM;
  • your clients only write to you through a portal or management software.
