While you're on the tools, I'm thinking ahead. Sending quotes, chasing payments, nudging you on what's due — so nothing falls through the cracks.

"Dave's invoice is overdue. Should we create and send?"
"Ali enquired hours ago. Follow up with a quote before a competitor does."
"Smith's payment is 3 days late. Should I create a polite chaser?"
Obbie noticed
"You finished that boiler job Thursday. Never got round to invoicing. That's £680 sitting there — I'd have drafted it the second you said 'done'."
"A bloke messaged Tuesday about a bathroom refit. You meant to reply. He's already called someone else."
"You'll remember everything tomorrow. You won't. I would have."
Here's the deal
Drop me the job details — any way you like, voice, text, whatever. I'll build the quote. Professional. Ready to send. Before you've locked the van.
Tell me the job's done. I'll draft the invoice with the right line items and send it. From "finished" to "sent" in five seconds.
Forward me the enquiry. I'll log it, remind you who to chase, when, and draft what to say.
Every morning I'll tell you exactly what needs doing. No surprises. No forgotten jobs.
Tax, materials, regulations. I know my stuff.
Tap when they pay. Until then, I'll spot the overdue ones and draft the chaser email so you don't have the awkward call.
Why Obbie's different
Built in the UK for UK trades. VAT, CIS, HMRC, Gas Safe, Part P — Obbie speaks your language. No American forms. No dollar pricing buried in the settings.
The others sit there waiting. Obbie's tracking your jobs, your quotes, your overdue invoices — and telling you what needs doing next. The thinking is done before you've finished your brew.
"Right. Here's your day. Three jobs, two quotes outstanding, one customer to chase. Mike paid you last night — you're up £1,240." Two minutes. Done.
Obbie's a Border Collie. Loyal, sharp, working class. He's got your back, talks like you do, and remembers everything you forget. Software's never been this much fun.
