Skilled trades are busier than ever in 2025, but staffing shortages, rising labor costs, and new technologies make it harder to keep up. Whether you’re a contractor, electrician, plumber, or mechanic, every missed call is a missed job, a lost lead, or a frustrated customer.

The Hidden Costs of Missed Calls:

• 34% of tradespeople lose work because they can’t answer the phone.
• 5 missed calls = at least one lost job.
• Over time, those lost calls add up to thousands in lost revenue.

New digital tools promise to help—but they often require training, setup, and extra costs. Many tradespeople don’t have time for complicated software or IT support.

How can tradespeople keep their schedules full, manage customer expectations, stay focused on their work, and stay competitive without the hassle of complex technology?

A Nucleus AI Attendant answers calls and ensures you never miss a job opportunity—even when you’re on-site, driving, or handling another project.
