Business details

We've built a product called Bildo to solve a problem that's all too common for the UK's hard-working tradespeople: getting bogged down by endless admin. We wanted to create something that feels less like a tool and more like a helpful partner. Bildo is a simple, intuitive platform designed to give them back their time and help them focus on the jobs they love.

The Business:

Bildo is a SAAS tool designed to help tradesmen and serviced businesses save time, automate their admin and win more work. Unlike existing competitors that cater to job management, Bildo acts as an AI-powered business partner that automates workflows and acts as an employee.

We're currently in a closed beta with a defined roadmap. The platform's core features include:

AI Assistant: It’s not about flashy tech or buzzwords, it’s about using AI to make things easy. Our AI acts as an extra employee by auto filling quotes, predicitng job scheduling learning more about your customers and what they require. 
 

Unified Inbox: We know how easy it is to miss a message. We designed this to bring all customer communication into one single place, so nothing gets lost. Integrate your whatsapp, email and facebook messages all into one unified inbox. 
 

Job Management: Keeping track of every job, big or small, is crucial. This feature gives a clear overview and live updates, and lets you assign and track them accordingly.
 

Quotes & Invoices: We've focused on speed and simplicity. The goal is to help them get professional-looking documents out quickly and get paid on time. Send proposals and quotes, and auto-populate invoices in just a few clicks. Stay on top of your payments with automoted follow ups.  
 

Customer CRM: A simple, secure spot to keep all customer details organized, making repeat business a breeze.

Early user feedback has been exceptionally positive, with testimonials calling it a "complete game changer" and "like having an office manager in your pocket".   

The Market Opportunity:

The business capitalizes on a critical gap in the UK market. While most small businesses are aware of AI, a mere 15% have adopted the technology, citing a lack of in-house expertise and difficulty identifying clear business use cases. Bildo's AI-as-a-service model directly addresses these barriers.   

Furthermore, the platform aligns perfectly with national economic ambitions. The UK government's SME Digital Adoption Taskforce has explicitly recommended the development of a "scalable online Chief Technology Officer (CTO) as a service" to boost national productivity, which is the exact solution Bildo provides. This government support offers a powerful tailwind for market entry and growth.   

Key Differentiators:

Bildo is not just a marginal improvement on existing tools; it is a fundamental leap forward. It solves the key pain points that current users complain about with competitors:
 

Superior Reporting: It provides proactive, AI-driven business insights and financial reporting, addressing frustrations with the "poor financial reporting" of current solutions.   

Unmatched Customization: The platform is designed with a modern architecture that allows for true customization, such as creating sub-folders and color-coding jobs, which competing platforms have been criticized for not providing.   

Advanced Automation: While other apps offer basic features like PDF readers, Bildo's AI can intelligently process and code invoices, saving businesses significant time on manual data entry.   

What's Included in the Sale:

The bildo.co.uk domain and all associated IP.

The fully developed, AI-first SaaS platform with its core features and unified inbox.
