Our stats show that typical emergency home service engineers spend 41 minutes on average traveling between jobs. Sometimes with as many as 8 jobs in a working day. By comparison UBER Drivers get to 90% of their customers within 10 minutes.
Van emissions in the UK have increased 40% since 1990 and thus by reducing travel time between jobs and keeping vans off the road we anticipate saving millions of KG of CO2 emissions annually by year five.
Outdated traditional home service providers work unproductively. This adds to the cost price of the service and reduces the earnings of the tradespeople. And traveling adds direct cost to the supplier of the service in the form of fuel and van depreciation costs. Productivity levels in the construction industry remain below the UK average and are flat. We aim to change that.
Instafix’s social outputs include travelling to jobs faster, which benefits our customers by reducing the stress commonly associated with emergency jobs. Tradespeople and the wider community experience a reduction in noise pollution and the driver stress associated with congestion on urban roads networks. Our tradespeople also benefit from an increase in the mental satisfaction and economic growth that shorter travel times provide.
As an example, the latest figures produced by the UK Gas Safe Register show that 50% of current engineers are over the age of 55. More worrying still is the fact that only 6% of the register is made up of qualified engineers under the age of 35.
At a time where the UK has a skills shortage and demand for highly skilled tradespeople is rising it makes sense to get trades people off the road and on site being productive. Instafix’s innovative approach to connecting customers with tradespeople who are genuinely local when there needed helps with skills shortages by drastically increasing the productivity of the skilled engineers we have available.

Larger Home service suppliers generally offer a reactive service however they do so unproductively. This costs both the client and tradesperson time and money. These companies either have more self-employed or zero-hour contract staff on hand than they really need at any one time, or they stretch their supply with excessive hours of work, or they reduce their coverage area, or increase rates to limit demand in order to provide a reactive service to the customer. Following an operating model TAXI rank style process with tradespeople sat in vans on the side of the road waiting for their work or worse needing to drive back to base to wait for the next job compounded by administration staff without the full picture and faced with lots of moving targets scheduling engineers inefficiently. The challenges of running a business like this result in higher charges to customers and unsecure working agreements with their field service trades, made worse with those agreements making it very difficult for bonafide contractors to offer their services to other companies or customers.
As such tradespeople often have little control over their work, they can be stuck working for a single company, waiting for the next job and driving long distances between work with little job security, often working long unsociable hours.
The company has to charge customers high fees to recompense unproductive tradespeople in a job with little job satisfaction aside from earnings. They still manage work the traditional way and although all utilize software, they do so to support traditional back-office staff and process as opposed to instead replacing those inefficient low skilled staff and processes.
SMEs of which there are many tend to offer a more localized coverage area and struggle to scale their business while maintaining quality and service levels. With less scale they are constantly struggling to manage supply with demand. To cope they stretch limited resources leading to inefficiencies such as travel time between jobs or offer a less reactive service. Back of office administration staff are a burden costing the company circa 25% of turnover.
3rd Party review platforms such as checkAtrade or which? trusted trader purport to link customers with local tradespeople whereas in reality they link customers with local tradespeople’s registered address not where they actually are when needed. Leaving customers calling round lots of SMEs trying to find a company who has a tradesperson they can arrange at short notice..
