Tiler Business AppsBuild your own business apps for your crew, builders and clients, so wet area records and progress are clear without calls.
This page is about tiler business apps: simple apps you build on your own data for the people around your jobs. A set out and tile schedule for the tiler on the floor, a membrane and flood test record the builder can see, a progress view for the homeowner without a bathroom. It is for tiling owners tired of being the switchboard.
The week this is about
Sound Like Your Tiling Business?
Chasing the builder to find out if it is ready
Most tiling business owners spend the week ringing builders and plumbers to ask whether the membrane has cured, the floor waste is in and the rough in is finished. Nobody shares the site schedule, so the crew turns up to a wet area that is not ready and loses the day.
Homeowners without a bathroom and without an update
A family is showering at the neighbours while their bathroom is stripped, and nobody has told them the screed needs another day or the feature tile is still on order. They ring the owner on the tools, and every unanswered call makes the job feel later than it is.
Tile schedules on paper and photos on old phones
The tile schedule is a printed sheet in the van, the set out is pencilled on the substrate, and the flood test photos are on whichever phone was handy. The crew works from what they last saw, and the records that would defend the work are scattered or gone.
Every week the tiling business runs on phone calls and loose photos, it pays in wasted trips, anxious homeowners and defect claims it cannot answer.
Data First Coaching
Tiler Business Apps, Built on Your Own Data.
Data First Coaching starts from your own job and finance data. On that data you build the systems, software and business apps your tiling business actually needs, shaped around how your jobs run and how your customers buy, and AI agents take the office work. Greg Allan works it through with you.
How most coaching works
Most coaching for tilers starts with the owner explaining the business.
- The first hours go on the owner describing the tiling business to a coach: the jobs, the crew, the customers, the money.
- The picture is out of date within weeks, because the numbers move every week.
- So the advice treats what the owner happened to notice, which is usually a symptom.
- Too often it comes from someone who has never run a tiling business, or any trade business at all.
- The owner pays for the explaining, then pays again when the advice does not fit.
Data First Coaching
Data first starts from your tiling business's numbers, not your memory.
- The Trade Business Intelligence Agent reads your job management and finance systems first.
- It sees your quotes, jobs, time on site and money as they are this week, the way tilers actually make and lose it.
- It finds where the problem actually starts, not where it shows up.
- You put in the system that fixes it at the root, and the data shows whether it worked.
Which of these is the root cause in your tiling business?
- Chasing the builder to find out if it is ready
- Homeowners without a bathroom and without an update
- Tile schedules on paper and photos on old phones
Usually one of them is causing the others. Data first means your own numbers answer that before anybody guesses, so the fix goes where the problem starts.
| Rented software | Built on your own data | |
|---|---|---|
| Built for | Every trade at once | How your jobs actually run |
| Your data | Lives in somebody else's system | Yours, and it answers your questions |
| The cost | A subscription per seat, every month | What you build, kept as long as it earns its place |
| When it does not fit | Work around it, or wait for an update | Change it, because you built it |
| The office work | Still lands on you or an office wage | AI agents do it your way, people stay on customers |
| Where you start | A sales demo | Your own numbers, read by the Trade Business Intelligence Agent |
Fix the root cause, once
The data names the real problem, so the system you put in fixes it once instead of patching the same symptom every month.
Own your software
Build your own tools on your own data, shaped around how your jobs run and how your customers buy. Cancel the subscriptions and agencies that were never built for your business.
A more human business
Agents do the non-billable work: the quoting, invoicing, chasing and reporting. Your people spend the day on customers and the crew, so relationships get better and the team performs.
Business apps, built by you
Here Is What We Do About It.
You start with Greg Allan's Data First Coaching. The Trade Business Intelligence Agent reads your job and finance data, so it is clear which wasted trips, callbacks and phone calls cost your week most. Then you build your own business apps for your crew and customers on that data, with Greg and the group: tile schedules, wet area records, site readiness checks, client updates. The free Tradies App is where you start.

How it works
Three Steps, Starting Tonight.
Start in the free Tradies App
Lessons, the members community and the tools, free for trade business owners. No card, no trial clock.
Build the screens your people need
Today's jobs for the crew, a quote to approve for the customer, the numbers for you, all on your own data and built around how your jobs run.
Put an agent behind each one
An agent fills the gaps a screen cannot: chasing the missing photo, sending the reminder, updating the job, so the app keeps itself current.
Why Greg
You speak to the owner who has already done it.
Greg built Response Electricians in Perth into a 30+ staff business with 1,950+ five-star reviews. A general manager runs it.
He has trained 9,000+ trade business owners across Australia and New Zealand.
He grew a coaching company to 35 staff, a CEO and 15 coaches, then cut it back so every owner deals with him directly.
Most coaching companies hand you to a salesperson, then to a coach who has never run a trade business. Here you get the owner.
What changes for you
The old way. The new way.
More customers meant more people doing the computer work, and more wages nobody invoices.
You stay with your customers and your team. The office stops landing on you.
The old way
More jobs. More paperwork. Less of the owner left.
Most trade businesses grow the same way.
More jobs means more quoting, invoicing, chasing and scheduling.
None of it gets paid for.
So the owner does it at night, after a full day on site.
Or hires an office person to do it.
The office grows. The wages grow. The margin does not.
And the owner is still the one everything waits on.
Where we take you
More work. More profit. More of you left.
The phone rings with the jobs you want, at the price you set.
You grow when you're ready, never faster than the business can carry.
Every job is priced to make money, so the busy months show up in the bank.
The best tradies in your area want to work for you, and they stay.
The chasing, the paperwork and the 9pm admin stop landing on you.
The business runs the day. You pick which parts of it you're in.
Bigger, without the headaches. Getting bigger stops meaning getting busier.
