What AroFlo doesn't do.
AroFlo runs the field service and project side beautifully. But it doesn't answer the phone at 9pm, follow up your quotes, chase Google reviews or reactivate old customers. Buzzlink is the CRM and lead-conversion layer built for Australian commercial trades.

Five signs AroFlo alone isn't enough.
AroFlo + Buzzlink — your questions.
Is Buzzlink a replacement for AroFlo?
+
Not directly — they solve different problems. AroFlo is a job and project management platform (quoting, scheduling, timesheets, compliance, service contracts). Buzzlink is the CRM and lead-conversion layer: AI call answering, missed-call SMS, website chat, review automation and repeat-work campaigns. Growing commercial trades usually run both.
What does Buzzlink do that AroFlo doesn't?
+
24/7 AI voice and chat, missed-call text-back automation, quote follow-up sequences, Google review request automation, reactivation SMS to past customers, and unified multi-channel lead capture (chat, voice, SMS, web forms). AroFlo is powerful for the job itself; Buzzlink handles everything that happens before and after.
Does Buzzlink integrate with AroFlo?
+
Yes. Leads and customers captured by Buzzlink can be pushed into AroFlo as clients, sites or jobs. Job-completion events in AroFlo can trigger Buzzlink's review requests and repeat-work SMS. Integration setup runs 5–10 business days including field mapping.
AroFlo vs Simpro vs ServiceM8 — which should I use?
+
AroFlo is strong for Australian commercial and industrial trades needing deep field-service workflow, safety compliance and asset maintenance. Simpro is similar-scale but leans more into estimating, project management and larger commercial builds. ServiceM8 suits smaller residential-focused teams on iPhone/iPad. Buzzlink works with all three.
Is Buzzlink cheaper than AroFlo?
+
They're priced differently and for different work. AroFlo is per-user and scales with team size. Buzzlink is a flat business subscription regardless of user count. You'd rarely replace one with the other — you'd add Buzzlink to plug the front-end gaps AroFlo doesn't fill.
