Nobody messages a handyman about one job. They send a list: the extractor fan, two doors that catch, the hole in the hall wall, the blind that will not go up. Handyman software as it is usually sold is for after you have said yes, the job sheet and the invoice. inflow is for the list itself. The WhatsApp from a landlord with ten days between tenants, the Instagram message under your alcove shelves, the website form from a daughter in Australia about her mother's stairs. Every one lands in one inbox, a reply is drafted in your own words, and the price for the whole list goes back into the same thread.
inflowLTenant out on Friday, new one in on the first. Bathroom extractor fan is dead, two doors need rehanging, there is a hole in the hall wall and the blind in the back bedroom is broken. Phibsborough. Can you get it all done that week?
You are in a utility room in Cabra with a washing machine pulled out from the wall. The landlord has a ten-day gap and has sent the same list to three handymen; the first one back with a day and a rough price gets the keys.
Saw the alcove shelves you posted. We have the same either side of a chimney breast in a 1930s house in Terenure. Floating shelves on both and a cupboard underneath one? Photo attached, the alcove is about 110cm wide.
You are at the kitchen table pricing the day's work. By the morning the message is under nine story replies and a spam account, and you find it on Friday.
My mother is 82 and lives alone in Swords. She needs grab rails in the bathroom, a second banister on the stairs and the back door lock is sticking. She is not on WhatsApp, so could you ring the landline? I am in Perth and can pay.
You are on a stepladder hanging a curtain pole. The form goes to an email address you open on Sunday night, and the daughter has already found someone on a Facebook group.
WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, email and the website form arrive in a single feed, newest first. A handyman's week is twenty small conversations, not two big ones, and the Unanswered tab is the count of lists still waiting on a day and a price.
inflowLinflow drafts the answer from how you have answered before: which jobs you take, what you ask for first (a photo of the fan, the width of the alcove), how you say a new socket needs a registered electrician. You read it, change what you like and tap send. Your words, your tap.
Build the quote from the conversation, line by line, and send it into the same chat. The landlord sees the eight jobs and the total without a PDF, and the Quoted tab shows who has a number and who is still deciding.
Every reply is drafted from your own past messages and waits for your tap. Nothing goes out unless you send it.
Read it, edit it if you like, send it. Nothing goes out without you.
Every enquiry becomes a card. New, quoted, booked: the whole week on one screen, so nothing goes quiet because nobody had time to chase it.
Every channel, newest first, with an Unanswered tab.
In your words, waiting on your tap.
Priced line by line from the thread, sent back into it.
New, quoted, booked, and what the month is worth.
The Quoted tab shows who has a price and who is still waiting.
WhatsApp, Meta and Google routes, one tap to disconnect.
Drafts wait for your tap. Nothing goes out unless you send it.
For the handyman with one van, or two of you.
If you run a property maintenance company with several vans, planned maintenance contracts and an office that issues job sheets and invoices, that is field service software and inflow does not do it. inflow also does not decide which jobs are yours to take. A new circuit or a distribution board is restricted electrical work that by law needs a Registered Electrical Contractor, and gas work needs a Registered Gas Installer; those calls stay with you, though the way you have explained them to customers before can shape the draft. It handles the conversation that gets you to the door, then steps aside.
You are a handyman with one van, or a pair of you, and you answer your own messages. Flat-pack, curtain poles, tap washers, doors that catch, patched plaster, a tiled splashback, grab rails, the like-for-like switch swap, and the jobs too small for a builder to ring back about. A good share of the work is landlords: the 2019 rented housing standards oblige them to keep windows, doors, gutters, fittings and furnishings in good repair, so a list arrives with every changeover. Enquiries are lists, not single jobs, most with photos, and the handyman who replies first with a day and a price for the lot gets the keys.
Get early accessNo. Job sheets, invoices and the reduced-rate VAT on repair work stay in whatever you use today. inflow handles the enquiry, the reply and the quote, then the job carries on as it always has.
As one conversation. The reply is drafted from how you have answered lists before, you build the quote from the thread line by line, and it goes back into the same chat with a total. The Quoted tab then shows that landlord as priced.
One monthly price with everything in it, cancel anytime. The number is announced at launch, and the waitlist hears it first.
No. inflow does not handle phone calls. It covers WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, email and your website form, so the message from their son or daughter lands in the inbox and the phone stays the phone.
inflow is the lead inbox for Irish trade businesses. First access goes to the waitlist, in order.
