AI enablement for plumbing businesses in Seattle.
Residential and light-commercial plumbers can recover 12–20% of monthly revenue by layering AI on intake, dispatch, and follow-up without replacing their existing FSM stack.
Seattle has roughly 750,000 residents and is the anchor of the surrounding Washington metro. Local operators here run against the same aged receivables creep past 45 days because nobody owns dunning once an invoice ages past first reminder.

Local nuance, federal posture.
Cloud computing capital with AWS and Microsoft headquarters. For plumbing businesses working this market, that means after-hours and lunch-hour calls roll to voicemail; 28–34% of those callers book a competitor before the office calls back.
We engage plumbing businesses from Seattle on a remote-first basis with on-site availability for integration days, training, and major workflow rollouts. Engagements ship in two-week sprints with written acceptance criteria — the same discipline we run on DoD prime engagements, applied to a plumbing business P&L.
Four workflows we deploy first.
Review and follow-up automation
Office staff manually request Google reviews and rebook annual maintenance, but follow-through drops off after the first reminder.
AI sends review requests at the moment-of-delight, drafts personalized replies to every Google review, and re-engages cold maintenance customers with named-job context.
Billing and collections
Invoices are sent on completion, but aging receivables sit untouched until a human runs an AR report at month-end.
AI runs a 5-touch dunning cadence — SMS, email, voice — escalates only when needed, and posts collection notes back to the FSM.
Parts and truck inventory
Each truck holds $8k–$15k of fittings, valves, and water-heater parts; stockouts force second trips that wipe out margin.
AI forecasts daily replenishment per truck based on the next-day job board and historical consumption, generating a pick list before the parts counter opens.
Marketing and lead acquisition
Local SEO, Google LSA, and paid search drive most leads; campaign-level ROI is rarely tracked back to closed revenue.
AI joins call-tracking data with FSM revenue, ranks campaigns by closed-revenue ROAS, and drafts new ad copy and LSA responses weekly.
