UK trade businesses are losing an estimated £2.2 billion every year to unnecessary admin and wasted time. That’s up to 13 hours every week spent on repetitive tasks that don’t earn a penny. Powered Now has launched its most powerful update yet to give that time back to the people who keep Britain’s homes and businesses running.
Set and Forget is a new suite of smart automation tools designed to quietly handle everyday jobs in the background. Invoices go out automatically, appointments allocate themselves, reminders are sent on schedule, and tradespeople get more time on the tools. These features are live and available to all Powered Now users from today.
Set and Forget Features
- Recurring Invoices: Schedule invoices once and let the system send them automatically.
- Recurring Appointment Allocation: Automatically assign repeat appointments to the right team members.
- Enhanced Appointment Reminders: Send multiple reminders to reduce missed visits and improve customer follow up.
“Every hour spent on admin is an hour lost to earning. Set and Forget tackles one of the biggest drains on the trade sector’s productivity by running those routine jobs for you,” said Benjamin Dyer, CEO of Powered Now.
Other Improvements That Make Work Easier
- Multiple Image Uploads (Mobile): Upload several images at once directly from your phone for faster site reporting.
- Dual Sign: Both your team member and customer can sign customisable forms. This builds trust, gives customers confidence in the work, and provides businesses with a clear record of agreement.
New and Improved Certificates
- Extended Gas Safety Record: Double the appliances, with detailed logging for up to seven safety devices.
- Certificate of Chimney Sweeping: Record details for up to eight chimneys on one site.
- Chimney Sweep Warning Notice: A new form to improve safety and compliance.
More updates include:
- 16 new pesticides added to speed up Pest Control Inspection Reports.
- Reorder and change default logos on certificates.
- Layout and input improvements across almost a quarter of all forms.
The trade sector powers the UK economy, but too much of that power is wasted on admin that adds no value. With Set and Forget and Dual Sign, we are putting time and trust back into the hands of tradespeople. Best of all, these features are live right now,” concludes Benjamin Dyer, CEO.
