Old way / with VanVox

Capture the job while it is still fresh

Built around the way tradespeople already send job notes, prices and photos through WhatsApp.

Old way

  • Try to remember materials, labour and customer details later.
  • Type admin at home after a full day on the tools.
  • Keep quotes, invoices and receipts split across notes, messages and files.

With VanVox

  • Send the details by WhatsApp voice note or text before you leave site.
  • Review a structured draft in the same conversation.
  • Keep quotes, invoices, receipts and records moving through one workflow.

How it works

From site note to reviewed document

The important boundary is simple: VanVox drafts, clarifies and prepares. You explicitly confirm before anything is finalised.

  1. 1 Send job details by voice note or text.
  2. 2 VanVox extracts the customer, work, line items and totals it can identify.
  3. 3 Missing information is clarified in WhatsApp.
  4. 4 You review the draft.
  5. 5 You explicitly confirm with YES.
  6. 6 The document is generated and returned through the supported workflow.

Digital records and MTD

Record capture is not the same as tax filing

VanVox helps organise the records that sit behind your quotes, invoices and expenses. An accountant or compatible tax workflow may still be required for submissions.

Income records

Draft quotes and invoices keep customer, line item, date and total information in a structured format.

Expense records

Receipt and expense workflows support cleaner business records when details are captured through WhatsApp.

MTD preparation

VanVox can help prepare organised digital records for Making Tax Digital-related record keeping, without claiming HMRC submission.

FAQ

Questions tradespeople ask before starting

Can I use voice notes and typed messages?
Yes. VanVox is designed for familiar WhatsApp voice notes or typed details, so you can use whichever is easier at the time.
Will anything be sent without my approval?
No. VanVox creates a draft for review. Nothing is finalised without explicit YES confirmation from you.
What about VAT?
VanVox supports VAT and non-VAT document output based on the business settings and the draft you review. You still check the figures before confirming.
Can it help with expenses and receipts?
The product includes receipt and expense record workflows. Keep the same confirmation habit: review captured details before relying on them.
Is my data private?
VanVox is privacy-first. The homepage avoids exposing raw WhatsApp content, and the product is designed around structured records rather than publishing transcripts.
Does VanVox submit MTD returns?
VanVox helps you keep cleaner digital income and expense records for MTD-related record keeping. It does not currently claim to submit tax returns to HMRC.
