Graphite Digital Studio

AI and business automation for Traralgon and Gippsland Type it in once. Get your nights back.

A Gippsland tradie's day has more driving in it than a city one: Traralgon to Sale for a quote, back to Moe for the job, then the paperwork at the kitchen table. The quote goes into one system, the job into another, the invoice into a third. We connect the tools you already pay for so each thing is entered once, then we look after it every month.

  • Audit $750, half a day
  • Builds from $3,500 a workflow
  • Fixed quote after one call
  • Home base Victoria, Australia

Who it's for

Businesses where the admin follows you home.

  • Trades and builders. The crew's in Morwell, the quote's due in Bairnsdale and the invoices are in the glovebox. One entry should carry all three.
  • Farm and rural services. Contractors, fencers, machinery and rural supplies, with seasons where bookings, job sheets and invoices all land in the same fortnight.
  • Property managers. Repairs reported from Warragul to Lakes Entrance, a different tradie in each town. That workflow we built as a product, the Maintenance Loop. Victoria's rules are in our urgent repairs guide.
  • Clinics and allied health. Bookings, reminders and new-patient forms done by hand between patients in a regional town.
  • Transport, earthmoving and hire. Job costs that only get added up when the machine comes back to the yard.

What it fixes

The hours that disappear between jobs.

A workflow is the path one job takes between your people and your software. We make that path run itself, one workflow at a time, each priced separately. This page is the Gippsland view of our workflow automation service.

  • Quote to order. Accepted on the phone in Sale, it's the order before you're back on the highway.
  • Job costing. Fuel, materials and hours land against the job the day they happen, not when the paperwork finally gets opened.
  • Bookings and reminders. Confirmed and reminded while you're out of range.
  • Onboarding. One form at the start of a job, and every system has it.
  • Invoices. Raised from the job, not retyped from it.

    Half a day with whoever does the job now. What comes back is the mess on paper, with each fix ranked and priced.

  3. The quote

    One fixed figure for each workflow. Half to start, half when it's live.

  4. The build

    Hooked into the software you already run. Nothing to replace, nothing new to learn.

  5. Care, $390 a month

    Hosting, running costs, fixes and a check-in, every month, for each workflow.

FAQ

Asked from Gippsland.

Can someone help my Gippsland business use AI?

Yes. Graphite Digital Studio sets up AI and automation for Gippsland businesses, starting with a 30-minute call and a $750 audit. AI is used where it saves real hours, such as reading and sorting emails and forms. Everything else is plain automation: the tools you already pay for, connected so each thing is typed once.

What can you automate for a Gippsland business?

Graphite Digital Studio automates the things a Gippsland office types twice: the quote that has to become a job, costs added up at month end, bookings confirmed by phone, a new customer keyed into three places, the invoice written out again from the job sheet. For property managers with rentals across the region, repair requests too. One workflow at a time.

Do we have to change our software?

No. Whatever you quote, book and invoice in now stays, whether that's Xero, MYOB, ServiceM8 or a spreadsheet. Graphite Digital Studio connects it.

How much does it cost?

A workflow audit from Graphite Digital Studio is $750. After that each workflow is quoted on its own: from $3,500 to build and $390 a month to keep running, 12-month minimum. Fixed quote after the 30-minute call, in Australian dollars, ex GST.

Does it matter which town we're in?

No. Warragul, Traralgon, Sale, Bairnsdale, Leongatha: your tools are in the cloud, the automation Graphite Digital Studio builds runs between them, and it works the same wherever the office is.

Reception is bad out on jobs. Will it still work?

Yes. The automation Graphite Digital Studio builds lives in the cloud between your systems, not on your phone, so it keeps working while you're out of range.

Is there a founding client offer?

Yes, at Graphite Digital Studio. Half-price setup for the first 10 clients, monthly fee at full price, in return for a case study, a testimonial and permission to use their name.

Paperwork at the kitchen table?

Bring us a problem.

Tell us the job you retype most and the towns you drive between. On the call we'll say whether it can run itself.
