Right now, the whole business runs through you.
The phone while you're on the tools. Jobs tracked in your head. Follow-ups that slip, invoices left unchased, and a team waiting to be told what's next. It all waits on you. FlowState builds the ServiceM8 foundations that run the job from first enquiry to final review, so the business stops living in your head.
You don't have a lead problem.
You have a leak.
Most trades businesses lose more work to what slips through the cracks than to a shortage of enquiries. Here is where it goes.
The real problem isn't the workload. It's that the business still needs you to push every part of it along.
Every quote, reminder, payment chase and review depends on someone remembering. That works when you're small. When you get busy, it slips, and you become the bottleneck. The fix isn't another app bolted on. It's a proper system that runs the business for you.
The FlowState All Trades Operating System
A properly built ServiceM8 system that runs the job from first enquiry to final review, so nothing depends on you remembering it.
Press through the system and watch what happens in the background.

The automated customer journey
Every message your customer gets, sent automatically, from booking to review.
Built by someone who's actually run the chaos.
Before FlowState, I ran a plumbing and heating business for nearly 10 years. Like most trades businesses, it started simple - but as it grew, so did the problems. More jobs, more engineers, more admin, and more things slipping through the cracks.
I spent years building and refining systems inside ServiceM8 to fix that - automating the communication, creating structure the team could follow, and making sure nothing got missed. That system was tested day in, day out, in a real business.
FlowState is the result of that work. What started as my own setup has since been installed, refined and proven across hundreds of trades businesses across the UK. This isn't theory - it's a system that's been earning its keep for years.
Could you build this yourself?
Yes. But realistically that means hundreds of hours working out how your business should actually run, testing ways to quote, schedule and manage jobs, fixing what breaks, and getting your team to follow something that isn't finished. Most owners never get there. The ones who do have spent years on it.
This is the shortcut. You're not starting from scratch, you're starting from something already tested across trades businesses around the UK:
- A proven structure for how the business runs
- Systems your team understands straight away
- A setup that works from day one
You still have to learn it and use it. You're just not losing years building it.

How we're transforming trades businesses
and the people who run them
"I used to work long hours and struggled getting paid. Since I started using ServiceM8 I've got my time back, I'm winning more jobs than ever before and now get paid before I leave the customer's house."
"I used to take home so much stress from being unorganised. Then I found ServiceM8 and now all that stress has gone. My customers now pay me via a link I send them on a text. ServiceM8 has been a game changer."
"FlowState was a game changer for me. I was able to quote while at the jobs so no more late evenings. I've also been able to get more reviews which has helped me secure more work."
"FlowState ticked all the boxes. We are getting money in faster which has helped our cashflow. Our quote conversion rate has also shot up. I would recommend it to anyone."

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before making a decision.
What size business is this suitable for?▼
It works for solo engineers, small teams, and growing businesses. There's no real upper limit - the system is designed to scale with you.
Will this work for my type of work?▼
Yes. The system is designed for trades businesses that run on jobs and visits, from quoting and scheduling through to job documentation, invoicing and follow-ups. It adapts to the way your trade works.
Can it be customised to my business?▼
Yes. The setup is based on a proven structure, but you can customise most areas to suit your business. There are a small number of protected elements to keep everything running correctly, but overall you have full control.
What makes this different from setting it up myself?▼
Time and experience. To build what we install from scratch would take most business owners years - and realistically, it never gets finished. This is a proven system built specifically for your industry, ready to use from day one.
Is this completely done for me?▼
The majority of the system is built for you. There are a few things you'll need to connect yourself - such as payment providers and accounting software (e.g. Xero). We provide training to guide you through these steps.
Do I own the system once it's built?▼
Yes. It's your ServiceM8 account and your system. You have full access and control.
Is there a payment plan available?▼
Yes, payment plans are available at checkout through iwocaPay. You can spread the cost over 3 or 12 months - from £172.07/month (inc VAT).
What are the ongoing costs?▼
The only required ongoing cost is your ServiceM8 subscription - everything we build is designed to work on the Growing plan (around £59 per month). There may be optional costs such as SMS usage or add-ons, but these are entirely within your control.
Do I need to pay for ServiceM8 separately?▼
Yes, your ServiceM8 subscription is separate and paid directly to ServiceM8.
Is there a ServiceM8 rebate available?▼
Yes - there is currently a £1,000 ServiceM8 rebate available. This gives you 50% off your monthly subscription until the £1,000 credit is used. For example, if your plan is £59/month, you pay roughly £30 and ServiceM8 covers the rest. This continues until the full £1,000 is used.
What happens after I purchase?▼
Once you've completed your purchase:
- You'll be added to our project queue (typically 3 to 4 weeks)
- You'll complete a fact-find questionnaire so we can gather key information
- Your system will be built and implemented (usually within 1 week)
- We'll guide you through each step
Will this disrupt my current workflow?▼
In most cases, no. If you're not currently using a system like ServiceM8, this will feel like a major upgrade rather than a disruption. If you are switching from another system, there may be a short transition period, but we keep this as smooth as possible.
I'm already using another system - can I switch?▼
Yes. We can help you bring across key data such as customers, contact details, and addresses. Job history usually stays in your old system, so we recommend keeping access to it if needed.
How quickly will I see results?▼
Most customers start seeing improvements straight away - especially around organisation, communication, and reducing admin. The more consistently you and your team use the system, the faster the results compound.
What if I'm not good with tech?▼
That's completely fine. The system is designed to be simple and practical for trades businesses. Your team doesn't need to be "techy" - they just follow clear steps, job stages, and forms.
What happens if I don't use it properly?▼
Like any system, it only works if it's used. We provide the structure, tools, and support - but results come from consistent use. That's why we include training, live Q&A sessions, and ongoing support to keep you and your team on track.
Will I be shown how to use everything?▼
Yes. The ServiceM8 Support & Training Hub gives you access to step-by-step video training, a help desk, and weekly live Q&A sessions. It's an actively managed platform that's constantly updated - which is why it's available as a separate subscription rather than bundled into the setup cost. This keeps the package price down for businesses that don't need it, and gives those that do a proper, ongoing resource.
What support do I get after setup?▼
Ongoing support and training is available through the ServiceM8 Support & Training Hub - a separate subscription that includes help desk support, a full training programme, and weekly live Q&A sessions. One-to-one support is also available if needed. We'll give you full details of the platform and its cost when we speak.
What devices does ServiceM8 work on?▼
ServiceM8 works in any web browser on any device. The app is designed primarily for Apple iOS - if you're the business owner managing the system, an iPhone or iPad gives you the best experience. A Lite version of the app is available for Android users, which works well for engineers in the field.
