Call any time, day or night. You'll get the same digital assistant your customers will speak to. The call opens in Dutch; speak English and it switches over.

Digital phone assistant for self-employed tradespeople

such as plumbers, electricians, heating engineers, carpenters, painters and roofers.
  1. You became a tradesperson to work with your hands.
  2. Not to spend all day on the phone.
  3. But that phone is where your work comes from.
  4. So you answer. Up a ladder. Under a sink. With your hands full of sealant.
  5. Or you don't, and the customer calls the next one.
  6. And in the evening, at the dinner table, you call everyone back.
  7. Not any more. You finish the job. We make sure the next one isn't lost.
  8. The work goes on.

You have two jobs.You only chose one of them.

By day you're a tradesperson. In between and in the evening you're your own receptionist, planner and office.

  1. Into the van. The phone's already ringing. You answer with your coffee in the other hand.

  2. In a crawl space, torch between your teeth. The phone rings. You can't.

  3. Lunch in the van. Three missed calls and one voicemail."Yeah, just call me back."

  4. You call back. They've already found someone else.

  5. At the dinner table. Your phone rings again. Your partner looks at you.

Nobody leaves a voicemail about a leak.They call the next one.

Your customers understand you're busy. Tradespeople are busy. They just want someone to pick up, and someone to come.

More than half of people with an urgent problem call another business if you don't answer. And almost half don't try again, even when it isn't urgent. (Infopact, survey of Dutch consumers, 2016)

The same day.One job.

The phone rings just as often. You just don't have to answer it.

  1. Into the van. You finish your coffee.

  2. In a crawl space, torch between your teeth. The phone rings. You keep working. Tenvado answers, asks what's going on, where, and when suits them.

  3. The customer has been heard. The job is in your calendar as a proposal. All you do is confirm it.

  4. Lunch in the van. No voicemail to listen to. You see who called, what for, and when you're expected.

  5. At the dinner table. Your phone stays in your pocket.

This is how a call reaches you: short and clear, with everything you need for the job.

Hear it yourself.

Call Tenvado. You'll get our own digital assistant, the same one your customers will speak to. Day and night.

A customer calls an electrician about a circuit that keeps tripping, while the electrician is on a job. The call is in Dutch.

  1. AssistantGood morning, you're speaking to the digital assistant of Visser Elektra. How can I help?
  2. CallerYes, good morning. A circuit in my kitchen keeps tripping. Since yesterday.
  3. AssistantI'm sorry to hear that. Is it just the kitchen, or more? And is it one circuit, or the residual current device?
  4. CallerJust the kitchen, one circuit. Mostly when the kettle and the dishwasher are on at the same time.
  5. AssistantThank you. Can you smell burning anywhere, or see smoke or black marks near a socket?
  6. CallerNo, nothing like that.
  7. AssistantGood. Someone can come round tomorrow morning at half past eight. Does that work for you?
  8. CallerYes, fine.
  9. AssistantMay I have your name and address?
  10. CallerJansen, Dorpsstraat 8 in Vorden. Come round the back.
  11. AssistantNoted. Tomorrow at half past eight at Dorpsstraat 8 in Vorden, round the back, for a kitchen circuit that keeps tripping. Visser will still confirm the appointment. Is there anything else I can help with?
  12. CallerNo, that's it. Thanks.
  13. AssistantYou're welcome, Mr Jansen. Have a good day.

An example: every call goes differently. The assistant uses your rates, working hours and calendar, and you confirm the appointment in the portal.

A deal is a deal. Even when you can't pick up.

Customers remember how it went. Whether you answered, whether you called back, whether you showed up. A tradesperson you can reach gets the job. And, by word of mouth, the next one.

No website yet? We'll arrange that too.

Just starting out as self-employed? The full package gives you your own website, a new domain name and a business email address. Within 3 minutes of signing up everything is ready and your digital assistant is already answering.

What tradespeople ask us

My customers want to speak to a person.
We understand. But today they often get nobody: a voicemail, or no answer. At the start of every call the assistant says the caller is speaking to your business's digital assistant. If it's urgent, or someone really wants to speak to you, it can try to put the call through. If you don't answer, it takes a message.
What does Tenvado cost?
€299 a month excl. VAT for everything: website, business email, phone number and digital assistant. Just the digital assistant is €249 a month. All incoming calls are included, there's no setup fee and you can cancel monthly.
Is Tenvado an AI receptionist?
Yes, the digital assistant works with AI. But it does more than answer the phone and take a message. It books the job in your calendar, taking the travel time between your addresses into account; you confirm the appointment. In the full package it also reads and sorts your business email, and if you're just starting out you get a website, domain name and business email address too. Approving appointments or changing your schedule can also simply be done by phone with your assistant. A standalone AI receptionist takes a message. Tenvado helps you run your business.
Can I keep my own phone number?
Yes. You forward your existing number to your assistant: only when you don't answer, or always. The portal has step-by-step codes for KPN, Odido, Vodafone and other providers. You can switch back at any time.
Does the assistant decide my schedule?
No. It knows your services, rates and working hours, finds a free slot and puts the appointment in your calendar as a proposal. You confirm or decline it in the portal. Double bookings are prevented, and you can also view the calendar in your own calendar app.
Do I have to install or set anything up?
No. You sign up and tell us what you do; we set everything up. You enter your rates and working hours in the portal, so the assistant knows what it can say.
Where is the data stored?
The application, the database and the encrypted backups are on servers in the Netherlands. We don't record audio, we only keep a written transcript of the call, and we don't train AI models on your data. More in our privacy statement.

Finish the job.
