For Australian businesses that live on enquiries

Find out where new enquiries are slipping through your business.

Someone rings. Nobody picks up. They ring the next business on the list. We build and run the system that closes that gap: a text goes out in your name in about 30 seconds, and the follow-up keeps going until they book. You just answer the people who reply.

Free, no obligation, about two minutes. We start two new builds a month.

Built for businesses getting 30 or more enquiries a month, where a new customer is worth $500 or more. Not sure if that’s you? The quiz tells you.

  1. The call rings out. Nobody’s free.
  2. A text goes out in your business’s name.
  3. They reply. Your team gets the enquiry, ready to book.
  4. Booked. A confirmation goes out.
  5. A reminder, so they actually turn up.
  6. Job done? A review request. Missed it? A rebooking text.

Illustration. “Your Business” stands in for your own name. Some steps depend on your plan, and timing is typical, not a promise for every message.

  • Month-to-month, 30 days’ notice
  • Live in 14 business days, or your first month is free
  • Your phone number stays yours
  • We don’t record calls

Here’s how this works

Three steps. No pressure at any of them.

  1. Take the two-minute quiz

    Thirteen quick questions. You’ll see where enquiries leak out of your business and what to fix first. Your result shows on screen, and arrives by text and email if you tick the box.

  2. Book a free 15-minute call

    Your results page has a calendar. We go through your answers together. If we can help, we’ll tell you which plan fits. If we can’t, we’ll tell you that too.

  3. We build it and go live

    Usually two to three weeks, most of it testing on real enquiries. Your monthly fee starts the day you go live, not the day you sign.

The money leaks out between the enquiry and the booking.

6:42pm

Someone rings. It’s urgent, or it feels urgent. Nobody picks up, and a stranger won’t leave a voicemail. They go back to Google and ring the next name. By morning, they’ve booked.

Tuesday

You send a quote. By Friday, nobody’s thought about it again. The customer never said no. Nobody asked again.

All week

Phone, web form, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp. Five doors, and one busy person checking them when they can. Enquiries fall between them, and you only notice when the month comes in light.

Here’s the part that hurts. You already paid for that call. The ads, the website, the Google listing, the word of mouth. The only thing missing was someone free to answer.

None of this is your team’s fault. If an enquiry depends on someone being free at the exact moment a stranger gets in touch, some will slip, however good your people are. That’s the gap we close.

What’s a missed enquiry costing you?

Put in your own numbers. It’s simple arithmetic on your answers, so it’s a rough picture, not a forecast. Start with the examples and change them to yours.

Roughly

$3,000 a month

or $36,000 a year in first-year customer value that never reaches you.

Find out where yours slip

This uses your numbers and your assumptions. It’s revenue, not profit. We can’t promise to recover any set amount, and results vary by business.

Five places enquiries get lost. Here’s what we do at each.

This is also how the quiz scores you, so you’ll see these five names again on your result. Your team keeps working the way it does now.

  1. Capture

    Calls, web forms, texts, Facebook and Instagram all land in one inbox. Nothing hides in a channel nobody checked.

  2. Respond

    A call rings out, or an enquiry lands at 9pm. A text goes back in about 30 seconds, in your name, and your team gets a nudge.

  3. Follow up

    Someone enquires and goes quiet. You send a quote and hear nothing. We follow up in plain text and stop the moment they reply or book.

  4. Recover

    No-shows and cancellations get a rebooking text. Cold enquiries get another opening. A person steps in when one’s needed.

  5. Grow

    Past customers get reminders, win-back messages and requests for reviews and referrals. Every message carries your business name and a working unsubscribe.

What we build for you

  • Questions that separate ready-to-book customers from browsers, with urgent ones flagged to your team
  • Your booking rules, phone routing and calendar
  • Every message in your tone, approved by you before it goes live

  • Testing on real enquiries before anything goes live

Who this is for, and who it isn’t

If we’re not the right fit, we’ll tell you on the first call.

A good fit if

  • You get 30 or more enquiries a month
  • Each new customer is worth around $500 or more to you in their first year
  • Customers reach you by phone, form or message
  • Someone on your team can reply when the system flags an enquiry
  • You’re comfortable investing from $1,250 a month, plus a one-time setup fee

Probably not a fit if

  • You get fewer than about 15 enquiries a month
  • You want us to find you leads (we don’t run ads, SEO or social media)
  • You need the system wired into your industry software (we don’t connect to it)
  • You want results without anyone answering when a customer replies
  • You’re choosing on price alone

Built for dental and orthodontic clinics, trades, allied health, education and migration agencies, and professional services.

Pick the problem you want solved first.

Three plans, and each one picks up where the last one stops. Every plan covers one location, with unlimited staff logins and the mobile app. Not sure which? The quiz recommends one.

Messaging and call costs are billed at carrier rates plus a handling fee, itemised on every invoice. Each plan has a fair-use allowance of new enquiries a month, stated in your proposal.

Five founding spots remaining.

The first five businesses lock in a founding rate for twelve months. In return, you agree to a before-and-after case study and a short testimonial. When the five are gone, the offer’s gone.

Take the quiz to see your fit

Three promises, in writing.

If we fall short on these, here’s exactly what happens.

Live in 14 business days

All plans

Your monthly fee starts the day you go live, not the day you sign. If we’re not live within 14 business days of getting what we need from you, your first month is on us.

Every reply, on time

All plans

Every call and enquiry that reaches your system gets a reply within 5 minutes, day or night, and every reply is timestamped in your inbox. If we miss one because of a fault on our side, we fix it within one business day and take 25% off that month’s fee.

No lock-in

All plans

Month-to-month with 30 days’ notice, and a free export of your data when you go.

Calls and enquiries count once they reach the system. If call forwarding is switched off or changed on your side, those calls aren’t covered, and carrier or platform outages are excluded. Full terms are in your service agreement.

Enquiries live with us. Clients live with you.

You keep your software, your phone number and the way your team works. We handle the stretch where someone is still deciding whether to call you. Once they’re a customer, they live in your own systems.

If something breaks, anything that stops enquiries reaching you is acknowledged within 24 hours, and other requests within 2 business days (1 on Grow). Outages at third-party platforms are outside our control. Full terms are in your service agreement.

We start two new builds a month, and no more.

Every system is set up around your business: your questions, your calendar rules, your phone routing, your tone. That’s build work, and it takes two to three weeks, most of it spent testing against real enquiries.

Two a month is what we can start while finishing the ones underway and keeping response times tight for the businesses already running. If a month is full, you wait for the next one. We’d rather say that than start something we can’t finish properly.

A small Sydney business that does one thing.

Most businesses don’t lose enquiries because their work is poor. They lose them in the gap between someone getting in touch and someone being free to answer. We built ARQASystems to close that gap, and to keep it closed.

ARQA stands for Automated Response, Qualified Appointments. That’s the job: answer every enquiry fast, and hand your team an enquiry that’s ready to book.

What we do
Catch the enquiries you’re losing and turn them into booked appointments.
What we don’t
Store client files, run your ads, or hand you another platform to administer.
How we’re paid
A one-time setup fee and a flat monthly retainer. No commission, no percentage of your revenue, no per-lead charges.

Questions people ask before they sign.

Straight answers, including the awkward ones.

The basics

10 questions

What is ARQASystems?

We’re a small Sydney business that makes sure no customer enquiry goes unanswered. When a call rings out or an enquiry lands after hours, our system texts back in about 30 seconds in your business’s name. It follows up the ones that go quiet, and hands your team what they need to book. We build it, run it and keep it working for a flat monthly fee.

What is missed-call text-back?

It’s an automatic text that goes to a caller the moment their call goes unanswered. It says who you are, says sorry for missing them and asks what they need. The conversation starts before they’ve rung anyone else. Their reply lands in your inbox, and your team gets an alert.

Is this just a missed-call text-back tool?

No. Text-back is the first 30 seconds. Depending on your plan, the system also finds out what the customer needs, gets them booked, reminds them, chases quotes, rebooks no-shows and wins back past customers. We build it around your business and run it every month.

How much does it cost?

Plans start from $1,250 a month plus GST, plus a one-time setup fee. The exact figure depends on your plan and any extras, and you see it in writing before you commit. Messaging and call usage is billed separately, at carrier rates plus a handling fee.

What will messaging and calls cost on top?

For normal enquiry volume, it’s small next to the retainer. We estimate it from your real call and enquiry numbers before you sign, and it shows up as its own line on every invoice. Anything heavier, like a big win-back campaign, gets quoted before it goes out. No surprise bills.

Am I locked into a contract?

No. Plans are month-to-month with 30 days’ notice. The setup fee pays for work done up front, so it isn’t refundable once the build starts.

Is there a limit on enquiries?

Each plan has a fair-use allowance of new enquiries per month, sized for the businesses it suits, and your proposal states it in writing. If you go over, the system keeps replying. We never switch it off. We just talk about a volume pack or a bigger plan.

Is there a discount for paying yearly?

Yes. Pay for the year up front and you get two months free.

What’s the founding offer?

The first five businesses get a founding rate, locked for twelve months. In return, you agree to a before-and-after case study and a short written or video testimonial. When the five spots are gone, the offer closes.

How long until it’s live?

Typically two to three weeks from kickoff, mostly configuration and testing against real enquiries. If we’re not live within 14 business days of getting what we need from you, your first month is on us.

How it works

9 questions

Do I keep my own phone number?

Yes. Your published number stays with your own carrier and never moves. Calls forward to us only when nobody answers, and the reply goes out under your business’s name. If you leave, you switch the forwarding off.

What is the number I’ll see in the system?

The system forwards to and texts from a service number we set up. It stays ours, and if you leave it’s released after 30 days. We never ask you to print it on your materials.

Does it work with our booking or practice software?

It sits in front of it and doesn’t connect to it, so there’s nothing to break. Bookings go on a Google or Outlook calendar connected to the system, or the full enquiry goes to your team to put in the diary. Reminders run only for bookings on a connected calendar.

What counts as a calendar?

One bookable diary. If three people each take their own appointments, that’s three calendars. A single shared diary is one, however many people work from it.

Is this AI?

The system sends automated messages that you write and approve. We don’t deploy AI chatbots or voice agents at this time, and we never pretend a message is from a person.

Do you create quotes for us?

No. We chase the quotes you’ve sent, and we collect the details your team needs to prepare one. We don’t build or price the quote itself.

What exactly gets sent in our name?

Every message is written for your business and signed off by you before it goes live. You can change any message later, and you can see every conversation as it happens.

Will my staff need to learn new software?

A little. They get logins and a mobile app, and a short training session at setup. Day to day, they reply to the enquiries the system flags.

What if something breaks?

Anything that stops enquiries reaching you is acknowledged within 24 hours. Changes and other requests are answered within 2 business days, or 1 on Grow. Outages at third-party platforms are outside our control. Full terms are in your service agreement.

Your data

4 questions

Who owns the data, and what happens if we stop?

You do. Every contact, conversation and booking is your enquiry and customer data, and we only use it to run the service for you. If you leave, you get a full CSV export within five business days of the engagement ending, then we remove it from our systems. One thing to know up front: the platform we build on is hosted outside Australia. We confirm that in writing before you sign, so you decide with the facts in front of you.

Will you store client files or record calls?

No. The system holds contact details, enquiry messages, and booking and message history. It has no place for client files, case notes or clinical, legal or financial records, and we don’t record calls.

Can we take the setup with us if we leave?

If you’d like your setup recreated in your own account, we scope it and quote a fixed handover fee. The data export is always free.

If you collect deposits, who holds the money?

You do. Payments go straight into your own payment account. We set up the booking and payment link, but we’re never a party to the transaction and we never hold funds.

Messaging and the rules

5 questions

How do review requests work?

When your team marks a job or consultation as completed, the system sends a request for a Google review. Everyone gets the same link, and we don’t screen who’s asked. If your profession has rules about reviews or testimonials, we leave this off until you’ve confirmed your own position.

Is messaging old enquiries compliant?

Campaigns go out under your business’s name, to people who contacted you about the service being offered, with your business name and a working unsubscribe on every message. We ask you to confirm the list is your own enquiry data before anything is sent, and we honour unsubscribes immediately. We don’t message people who haven’t dealt with you.

We’re a regulated profession. Is this suitable?

Often, yes, because the system holds only contact and booking details. Your advertising and confidentiality rules still apply, and you’re responsible for them. We set up messages and features to suit, and leave off anything you’re unsure about.

Do you work with my industry?

We’re built for businesses where one enquiry is worth hundreds of dollars or more and customers reach you by phone, form or message: dental and orthodontic clinics, trades, allied health, education and migration agencies, and professional services. Not sure? Take the quiz or ring the demo line. If we’re not the right fit, we’ll say so.

Do you work outside Australia?

We’re based in Sydney and built for Australian businesses. We take enquiries from other countries case by case, because messaging and privacy rules differ.

Customers are contacting you after hours. Find out what happens when they do.

Or test us first. Call 0495 055 553, don’t leave a message, and you’ll have a text back in about 30 seconds. That’s the product.
