Phone Answering
Picks up before the third ring, every time. Warm, Australian-accented, never flustered — and she knows your services by heart.
Burst pipe at 9pm. Blocked drain on Sunday. Hot water system died.
We answer, you work. Amy picks up before the third ring, walks the caller through the water main,
captures the address, and texts you the job — while both hands are still on the tools. Built for Queensland plumbers first.

Two ways in. Ring the number on the right and you'll reach the front desk of Halden Plumbing & Gas — a plumbing business we invented so you can hear this from your caller's side. Say you've got water coming through the ceiling and see what happens. Or leave your name and mobile and Amy rings you instead, as herself, and can put a 15-minute walkthrough in the diary while you're on the line.
The transcript on the right is an illustrative sample of the call flow. To hear the real thing, call 07 3132 1165 right now — it answers as Halden Plumbing & Gas, our demonstration plumbing business, so you can be the customer instead of the one holding the drill. A real recording lands here once the first founding client signs off.
Amy isn't a chatbot bolted onto a phone tree. She's a single voice model trained on your business — answering, routing, booking and following up the way your best receptionist would, but without lunch breaks or hold music.
Picks up before the third ring, every time. Warm, Australian-accented, never flustered — and she knows your services by heart.
Names, numbers, why they're calling — captured cleanly and pushed to your inbox, SMS, or CRM in under thirty seconds.
Auto-texts a friendly confirmation, a quote form, or a review request on the right cadence — never spammy, never forgotten.
Two-way sync with Google Calendar. Books, reschedules, holds slots for emergencies.
5pm to 8am, weekends, public holidays — Amy keeps the phone live and routes emergencies to whoever's on call. No more voicemail graveyard.
Amy is built deepest for the trade where a missed call costs the most — plumbing & drainage — with the exact triage, on-call routing and water-main scripting Queensland plumbers actually need. Air conditioning & HVAC is our second vertical, handled with the same rigour.
The 2am emergency is your best-paying job and the one you're most likely to miss. Amy answers it, walks the caller to the water main, and rings your on-call mobile with them still on the line — while the 2pm "just getting prices" gets captured, not chased.
Plumbing in detailSummer's first heatwave doubles your calls on the exact days your crews can't answer them. Amy takes the surge — triages breakdowns, captures the error code and unit details, scopes install quotes, and books everyone into real slots.
Aircon & HVAC in detailAmy also answers for tradies & builders, dental & medical, removalists, salons & beauty, cleaning services, freight & logistics, law firms, solo practitioners, and real estate & property managers.
We built Catchly because the alternative — a missed call, an after-hours voicemail, a frazzled tradie on the tools trying to answer — was costing Australian small business more than they realised.
Amy answers inside three rings — every call, every time, including 3am Sundays.
Public holidays, sick days, school runs. The phone never sleeps, never forwards to a competitor.
Warm, unhurried, queensland-flat. Callers don't ask if they've reached an offshore centre.
Australian English and Mandarin as standard — Amy follows the caller when they switch mid-sentence. Another 50+ languages available on request.
Two-way into Google Calendar — and your custom sheets on request.
Emergencies route to whoever's on call. She texts the rest as a tidy summary at 9am.
Audio plus searchable transcript. Compliance-grade, retained 90 days, exportable on request.
One email Mondays: calls taken, booked, missed, top three reasons people rang. That's it.
Amy is a single voice model trained on your business — your hours, your services, your pricing, your tone. She remembers the regulars, asks the right questions, and routes the call the way you would. She doesn't sound like a robot because she isn't one; she's a tuned voice with a script that bends to context, not a phone tree with a personality sticker on it.
Every Catchly client gets their own Amy — named, voiced, and trained for their trade. You can call her anything; most clients keep the name. Amy is an AI assistant. She tells callers so when they ask, and we configure the spoken notice callers hear at the start of any recorded call. Brisbane-built — answering for businesses right across Australia.
Founding clients pay no setup fee — one monthly after that, GST included. Amy goes live within three business days of your sign-off, and the first two weeks are a no-questions trial.
Before you look at our price — what's a missed call costing you?
Setup waived (usually A$499) for the first 10 founding clients, in exchange for a short testimonial, a one-page case study, and 1–2 reference calls. 14-day no-questions trial (leave in the first 14 days, pay nothing); after that, cancel with 30 days' notice — final month runs to the end of the notice period.

For businesses easing in. Upgrade to Complete any time — your founding setup waiver carries over.
All prices include GST. Overage billed at A$0.50/min; we'll flag it before you go over. Custom multi-line or franchise deployments quoted separately — ask us.
Weighing Amy against hiring a receptionist or a live answering service? Here's the honest comparison →
Amy identifies as an AI assistant whenever a caller asks — we never pretend otherwise. Call recording is switched on per your instructions and we configure the spoken notice callers hear; the wording and the legal call are yours, and recording law differs by state. Recordings and transcripts are handled under our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
Fifteen minutes is enough. Leave your name and mobile up top and Amy rings you back — or call 07 3132 1165 and she picks up right now. Either way, you hear the product working before you ever talk to a person. No contracts, no setup fees hidden in the small print.
