Most tradies lose 6 to 8 hours every week to admin. That's a full working day each week — billable hours gone forever, unpaid and uncountable.
The three biggest time-sinks
Quoting, invoicing, chasing payments. None of it billable. None of it on the tools.
Cut quoting time by speaking quotes the same way you speak invoices — Korda handles the rest. Cut invoicing time by sending a 30-second voice note instead of opening laptop, Xero, contact, line items. Cut chasing time by letting automated follow-ups go out at day 7, 14, and 30 without you lifting a finger.
