What does the process workshop cost?
Nothing. The process workshop is completely free and carries no obligation. It's a 60–90 minute conversation where we map your business and calculate the cost of your operational gaps using your own numbers. You walk away with a clear picture of what it's costing you — whether you go ahead with us or not.
How long does it take to get set up?
5 to 7 business days from contract signing. There is no technical involvement required from your team — the only thing we need from you is 30 minutes for an onboarding questionnaire. We do the build, the testing, and the go-live entirely on our side.
Do I own the system, or am I renting it?
You own it from day one. Every Clearworks system is built on your own infrastructure using your own API credentials. If you stop your service plan, the system keeps running — the call answering still answers, the invoice automation still fires, the review requests still go out. You own an asset, not a subscription.
Which job management systems do you integrate with?
We integrate directly with ServiceM8, Tradify, and simPRO for job management, and with Xero for accounting and invoicing. If you use one of these systems, your team doesn't need to learn anything new — the automation layer sits on top of what you already use.
Is Clearworks right for my size of business?
Clearworks is designed for trades businesses with 10 to 40 employees generating between $1M and $5M annually. If you're an electrician, plumber, fencer, or landscaper in that range, you're exactly the customer we built this for. If you're smaller, some of the systems may still be a strong fit — book a workshop and we'll tell you honestly.
What does it cost to run the system after it's built?
There are two ongoing costs. First, a Clearworks service plan from $100/month covering monitoring, support, reporting, and optimisation. Second, your own infrastructure costs — typically $50–100/month paid directly to Twilio and Anthropic at their published rates with no markup from us. In year two and beyond, this is significantly less than a typical subscription service.
Do I need to be technical to use this?
Not at all. The only technical involvement required from you is setting up your own API accounts — we walk you through that step by step in the onboarding questionnaire. Once the system is live, everything runs automatically. You receive weekly reports and can contact us any time via email or phone.
