Toddy Tool Hire

AI quote builder for a 60-year-old plant & tool hire firm

An AI-powered quote builder for Toddy Tool Hire, a Suffolk-based plant, tool, and machinery hire firm serving construction and landscaping trades. Customers describe the job in their own words — "laying a 30m² patio next weekend", "cutting back a hedge along a 50m boundary" — and the assistant returns a structured rental quote: the right kit from the catalogue, hire duration, accessories, and total price. Replaces a manual phone-and-email back-and-forth with a self-serve flow that still hands off cleanly to the team.

Traditional vs Hot Soup

Metric	Traditional	Hot Soup
Quote turnaround	Phone/email — hours to next day	Conversational, self-serve in minutes
After-hours coverage	Lost lead until Monday	Quote ready when the customer is
Catalogue accuracy	Memory + spreadsheet lookup	Structured catalogue grounding — no hallucinated SKUs
Build approach	Bespoke ecommerce rebuild — £80-150k	AI layer over the existing catalogue

Technical Highlights

Natural-language job intake — customers describe the work, not the SKU
Catalogue-grounded recommendations across plant, powered access, concrete compaction, gardening, and surveying kit
Quote handoff path to the Toddy team for confirmation, delivery, and payment — AI doesn't replace the relationship, it warms the lead
Sits alongside the existing Vooba/WooCommerce site rather than rebuilding it
Tuned to brand voice and local context (Martlesham depot, trade vs DIY, weekend vs weekday hire)
