Hands full of plaster?It takes the call.
You can't pick up with a trowel in your hand. Tenvado asks which rooms, how big and what finish, and puts a survey visit for a quote in your calendar. You confirm and work it out.
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 plasterers
A renovation with bare walls, called in on a lunch break
- AssistantGood afternoon, this is the digital assistant of Van Dijk Stucwerk. How can I help?
- CallerWe're renovating our house and the walls need plastering. Could you send someone to have a look?
- AssistantI'd be glad to book that, so the plasterer can write a quote. Which rooms are they, is it walls, ceilings or both, and do you know roughly how many square metres it is?
- CallerThree rooms, walls and ceilings. I don't know the square metres exactly, they're ordinary rooms.
- AssistantNo problem. What finish would you like: smooth and paint-ready, or something else, like decorative plaster?
- CallerSmooth, we'll paint it ourselves.
- AssistantIs the house empty, and is there still old wallpaper or old plaster on the walls? And when does it need to be finished?
- CallerIt's empty, the walls are bare. End of next month, please.
- AssistantSomeone can come and have a look on Friday at half past three. Does that suit you?
- CallerYes, that's fine.
- AssistantMay I have your name and the address?
- CallerSanne Mulder, Beukenlaan 21 in Veenendaal.
- AssistantThank you. I've noted Friday at half past three for a survey visit, plastering walls and ceilings in three rooms, Beukenlaan 21 in Veenendaal. Van Dijk will still confirm the appointment.

Knows what you want to hear before you come to measure up
Asks the right questions
- Which rooms, and what needs plastering: walls, ceilings or both?
- Roughly how many square metres, or how many rooms?
- Which finish: smooth (ready for wallpaper or paint), decorative plaster or something else?
- Is the room empty or lived in, and are there still old layers on the wall, such as wallpaper or old plaster?
What it won't promise and won't say
- New plastering work is a project: the assistant books a survey visit for it.
- It never gives a total price. You make the quote, often after a visit to have a look.
- It says nothing about asbestos in old ceilings or walls. It notes it down, and you assess it.
Knows your trade
- Plastering the walls of a room smooth
- Plastering a ceiling or spray plaster

- Finishing a new-build house
- Bathroom in microcement
You decide which jobs you do and what they cost.
The assistant says nothing about asbestos in old ceilings or walls. It notes it down, and the plasterer assesses it.
What tradespeople ask us
- Does the assistant know my rates and working hours?
- Yes. You enter your hourly rate, call-out charge and working hours per trade in the portal. The assistant only quotes those amounts and says honestly when it doesn't know something, rather than guessing.
- 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 the assistant say whether an old ceiling contains asbestos?
- No. It says nothing about asbestos, for example with old sprayed plaster. If the caller mentions something like that, it writes it in the note and you assess it.
- What if the customer doesn't know the square metres?
- That's fine. The assistant asks how many rooms there are and which finish the customer wants. You measure up at the survey visit.
The work goes on.
