A CRM for home services that chases quotes before they go cold.

A CRM for contractors: electricians, plumbers, builders, landscapers, cleaners. Job enquiries arrive with photos and land in the pipeline, quotes get a nudge on day two and day seven, and finished jobs become proof-of-work posts.

  • Job enquiry form with photos, straight into the pipeline
  • Quote follow-ups by SMS and email, in your words
  • Job photos turned into before-and-after posts and review requests

Four home services & construction businesses, four everyday asks. Each one runs across the site, the diary, the CRM and the channels from a single line of chat.

Ten tools you would otherwise buy separately.

Each is a page of its own; together they are one workspace and one chat. Booking reminders and confirmations also send to New Zealand numbers.

Frequently asked questions

More in the FAQ and Help centre.

Can customers send photos with their enquiry?+

Yes. The quote form on your site takes photos and files them with the enquiry, so you can quote before visiting.

Does it handle multiple tradies and vans?+

Yes. Each person can have their own diary, and the office sees all of them.

Does it do invoicing?+

Kahu connects to Xero for invoicing. Quotes, follow-ups, bookings and customer conversations happen in Kahu.

Will it text customers without me knowing?+

Not unless you switch it on. Every post, page, campaign and reply lands in the approvals queue first, and you approve, reject or ask why. Automations and scheduled posts you switch on count as approved in advance, and so do bookings guests make on the booking page you publish, with their confirmation and reminders. Every action is logged with who, what and when.
