PROPEL ASSIST

Grow your business.Not your workload.

Your managed operations team, built for construction and trade businesses.

The real problem

You did not start the business to spend your nights doing admin.

Most trade businesses follow the same path. You started on the tools. Then a labourer, then a tradie, then another. Somewhere along the way your partner started doing the books at the kitchen table, or you hired an office admin.

And still, when the admin is on leave, when the quotes pile up, when a customer chases a quote that never went out, it all lands back on you.

This is not a staffing gap. It is a systems gap - and it is fixable.

Here's what changes as you start with Propel Assist
  • Quotes go out same day, not three days later.
  • Invoices leave within 24 hours of the job finishing.
  • Your Propel Assist team chases the money owed to you, every week.
  • Reviews get requested after every job, every time.
  • Your evenings and weekends are yours, once again.

Why Propel Assist's model works

You are buying an outcome, not a headcount

1

No training burden

We recruit, train and manage the team. You brief the work once and we build the process around your business, then document it.

2

No single point of failure

Every task has a cross-trained backup. Leave, sickness and turnover stop being your problem, so nothing lands back on you.

3

Scales with the work

Start at 10 hours a week and move up or down as jobs demand. No rigid contracts, no dead payroll in a quiet month.

"I had been considering using a Virtual Assistant for years, but didn’t want to rely on one person or spend the time training them on our systems. After downsizing my team, I was constantly falling behind. When Propel came along, they were the perfect fit. Having a team means there is always backup, and their expertise covers administration, sales, marketing, design and project coordination. They already understand the Refresh process and the industry, making it incredibly easy to work with them. The flexibility to increase support hours as my business needs change has been reassuring, and the time freed up has allowed me to focus again on business development and marketing. Propel is the perfect solution for anyone who needs to get more done - or simply needs time to breathe again!"

Maree, Renovation Business Owner

"I do not even have to review the team's work. Quoting, invoicing, customer queries, all of our inboxes. The team proactively finds more to take off my plate."

Lani, Electrical Business Owner

"Delegating our CRM, follow-ups, general admin, and social media to Propel Assist has drastically improved our response times. Since the team already understands the business, I didn't have to spend hours training anyone - they just took over and freed up my time."

KT, Refresh Renovation Owner
