The real cost of small business admin

Hours lost to low-value work

Independent service providers spend 6–10 hours a month chasing payments, rescheduling clients, and confirming appointments. That’s time you could spend earning or resting.

Tools that interrupt your day

CRMs, schedulers, payment apps; most admin tools create extra steps, not fewer. You switch tabs. You follow up. You fix what didn’t get sent.

Missed moments = missed revenue

When reminders don’t go out or invoices get missed, it doesn’t just cause friction, it means lost income and lost trust.

How to automate admin without adding complexity

Use a system that lives where your clients already are

AllSet runs entirely in WhatsApp. You don’t need to install anything. Neither do your clients. They just message you like they always do - and AllSet handles the rest.

Automate the big three: bookings, payments, and reminders

You set your availability once. After that, AllSet confirms bookings, sends reminders, chases payments, and updates clients – all automatically, in the thread.

Stay focused while AllSet handles the follow-up

You stay in flow. Clients get timely nudges. Nobody gets left wondering if something went through.

What it looks like in practice

A real example from a personal trainer

Lisa runs back-to-back PT sessions and was losing hours each week confirming bookings manually. After setting up AllSet, 100% of her confirmations now happen automatically - and client replies trigger the rest.

Calm comms, not chaos

There’s no brand voice shouting in the thread. AllSet sends calm, clear messages that match how you’d speak - and you can tweak the tone if needed.

No extra logins or downloads

Your clients won’t be asked to register, log in, or learn anything new. They just reply like normal. Everything else happens invisibly.

Real-world example: Osteopath with zero inbox admin

Sophie runs a busy osteopathy clinic in Leeds. Before AllSet, her week ended with dozens of unanswered messages, missed reminders, and manual invoicing. Now, bookings are confirmed in WhatsApp, payments are triggered automatically, and client reminders go out without Sophie touching a thing. She finishes each day with a full schedule and an empty inbox.

Why it matters

Time saved = money earned

With your admin handled, you can focus on the sessions, services, or clients that actually generate revenue.

It works for solo providers and teams

AllSet was designed for solopreneurs but scales quietly to teams and partner networks. No added tools, no added training.

When admin disappears, trust builds

Clients feel informed, looked after, and in control - without you needing to micromanage the details.
