Site Safety: invoices, bookings and leads, drafted by Claude
Site Safety hires out temporary fencing from South Auckland to Whangarei. We set Claude up for owner Grant McLean, built three skills around the way he works, and trained him to run them.

The brief
Grant is on the road most days running fence jobs. The admin waits for him: hire invoices that are last month's with small changes, bookings buried in email, and new leads to research.
He found us through a LinkedIn post on connecting Claude to Xero. He wanted Claude doing the drafting, at his desk or on his phone.

How each skill works
- Grant asksTyped or spoken, at his desk or in the phone app.
- The skill takes overIt knows his formats, his area and when to ask first.
- Claude checks the factsPast invoices in Xero, the calendar for clashes, public sources for leads.
- A draft comes backAn invoice in draft, a proposed booking or a lead brief.
- Grant decidesHe checks it, changes what he wants, then sends or saves.
Claude drafts. Grant decides.
Hire invoices in one sentence
A lot of Grant's invoices are monthly hire: last month's invoice with a new period. He asks Claude to duplicate it, and the skill copies the lines, updates the dates and shows exactly what changed.
Everything stays a draft in Xero. Claude never approves or sends an invoice, and it will not touch one that has already gone out.

A lead brief before the first call
Grant spots leads on the road: a sign on a site, a project announcement, a referral. He drops the name into Claude and gets a one-page brief sized for his phone.
It covers what they do, the best contact, how warm the lead is, and three talking points each for a cold email and a cold call, with every source listed. Grant makes the contact himself.

Bookings, straight from the email
A job confirmation email becomes a calendar entry in Grant's own format: metres, job type and customer in the title, the site address in the location, and a colour for who is on the job.
Claude checks for clashes and reads the booking back before it saves anything. On the road, Grant can book a job by voice.

Running a trade business from the ute?
Invoices, bookings and new work, all squeezed in between jobs. We set Claude up around the way you already work, train you to run it, and keep you in charge of what goes out.
