Less office.
More job site.

Flowton builds your website and automates what comes after: calls, quotes and job reports. For building-services firms with 5 to 50 people. You work the way you always have, just without the evening shift in the office.

Sound familiar?

01

Your website looks like 2012 on a phone.

Customers leave before they find your number. So do job applicants.

02

The phone rings while you're lying under a sink.

The customer doesn't wait for a callback. They dial the next number on the list.

03

You write quotes on Saturdays.

By the time it reaches the customer, a week has passed. And they asked two other firms too.

04

The job reports sit on the passenger seat.

The invoice goes out weeks after the job. The money arrives just as late.

[ Do the math ]

What does the office cost you?

How many hours a week go into quotes, reports, invoices and callbacks? Yours and your office's combined.

CHF 18’000

per year. That's 43 full working days, before counting a single missed job.

Calculated at CHF 50 per hour (Swiss median wage 2024 according to the Federal Statistical Office, plus employer contributions) and 45 working weeks per year.

[ What we build ]

From the first click to the paid invoice.

Four building blocks that work together. Start with one and add the others later.

A website that brings in jobs.

Fast, easy to read on a phone and easy to find on Google. With a call button, your references and job openings that attract installers. If you like, we maintain it for you.

No call gets lost.

Miss a call and the customer instantly gets a text. They reply with their address and the problem, and you get a clean note on your phone. If you like, an AI assistant can take the call directly.

The quote goes out the same day.

At the appointment, you speak a note into your phone and take photos. That becomes a draft quote with your prices in your template. You check it in ten minutes that evening and send it.

Report in, invoice out.

Snap a photo of job reports and delivery notes, or forward them by email. They become a draft invoice with a QR code, right in your accounting software. No more typing them up line by line.

[ Your AI department ]

You do building services. We do the AI.

You don't have to learn all the new tools to keep up. We stay up to date for you, so your business doesn't get left behind. Your AI department, without hiring anyone.

Your part

Almost nothing.

  • Spend 30 minutes telling us where it hurts
  • Check the drafts and send them
  • Get on with your work
Our part

Everything else.

  • Build your website and keep it current
  • Pick the right tools
  • Set everything up and connect it to your software
  • Train your team
  • Monitor the workflows and fix problems
  • Keep everything current as AI evolves

Heard about a new AI tool? Write to us. We'll tell you honestly whether it helps your business.

[ How it works ]

Three steps back to the job site.

You don't learn any new software. We build on what you already use: phone, email, accounting.

1

Time-Waster Check

30 minutes, free. We look at how you work and at your website, and show you your three biggest time-wasters, with a franc amount. The list is yours to keep, even if you don't work with us.

Free
2

Fixed price and build

You get a written fixed price before we build anything. No hourly rate, no surprises.

Fixed price
3

Rollout and support

We show your team how everything works in one hour. After that, we monitor the workflows and adjust them when something changes on your end.

Ongoing
TIME
GUARANTEE

No time saved, no money.

In the Time-Waster Check, we agree together how many hours per week the automation should save. If it doesn't hit that after 60 days, you get your money back in full.

Because we set up every firm personally, our capacity is limited. We're currently at capacity and take on new firms in order through the waitlist.

AI writes drafts. You decide.

No quote or invoice goes to a customer without your OK.

Your software stays.

We connect what you already have. Your team doesn't have to relearn anything.

We come to you, whether in St. Gallen, Thurgau, Appenzell or the Rhine Valley.

[ FAQ ]

Good questions.

Why is there a waitlist?

Because we set up and support every firm personally. We only take on as many firms as we can look after well. Everyone who signs up hears from us in order, starting with the free check.

What does it cost?

That depends on what gets automated. That's why you get a written fixed price after the free check, before we build anything. And the time guarantee applies: if the automation doesn't save the agreed time, you get your money back.

Is it worth it for a firm of six people?

Especially then. In small firms, the owner often does the office work themselves, in the evening. Move the calculator above to your hours and see what comes out.

We already have a website. Do we need a new one?

Not necessarily. The automations also work with your existing website. In the free check, we'll tell you honestly whether a new one is worth it.

Do we need new software?

No. We build on what you already use: your phone, your email, your accounting software and your quote template.

Does the AI understand Swiss German?

Partly. Speech AI still struggles more with dialect than with Standard German. So the phone assistant confirms key details like the address with the caller, and voice notes for quotes work best in Standard German or English. We'd rather tell you before than after.

What happens to our customers' data?

We follow Swiss data protection law. Before anything goes live, we show you which data goes where. And your customers always know when they're talking to an assistant rather than a person.
