5. Job marked complete triggers integration
6. Invoice created in Xero with line items:
   - Materials with quantities and markup
   - Labour hours at configured rates
   - GST calculated per item taxability
7. Customer synced to Xero if new
8. Payment recorded when received

AI & Custom Integration Examples

Beyond system-to-system connections, we build custom AI solutions and interfaces powered by Tradify data.

AI Quote Generator

Tradie describes the job, AI generates a detailed quote from historical pricing data. "Bathroom reno, remove old, new vanity and shower" → AI creates itemized quote based on past similar jobs. Speeds up quoting significantly.

Job Profitability Dashboard

Real-time dashboard showing job profitability by comparing quoted vs actual labour and materials. Identifies which job types are most profitable and which quotes need adjustment.

Smart Scheduling Assistant

AI optimizes job scheduling considering travel time, job duration, and tradie skills. "Schedule these 5 jobs for this week" → AI creates efficient route and assigns to appropriate team members.

Automated Customer Follow-up

AI sends automated communications: quote follow-ups, job booking confirmations, completion notifications, and review requests. Timing optimized based on response patterns.

Materials Ordering Bot

AI monitors upcoming jobs and suggests materials ordering. Groups orders across jobs to minimize supplier runs. Can integrate with supplier systems for automated ordering.

Cash Flow Forecasting

AI analyzes job pipeline and payment patterns to forecast cash flow. "Based on current quotes and jobs, expect $45K revenue next month." Helps with business planning.
