Transforming Skilled
Trades Through
AI & Robotics
By Jordan Fantaay, Founder & CEO
At Pumpt, we're shaping the future of skilled labour - beginning with AI assistants that learn from tradespeople today, developing into robotic partners that work alongside them tomorrow, and ultimately creating autonomous systems capable of handling complete jobs.
We're addressing a critical challenge: the world faces a growing shortage of skilled tradespeople just as demand for infrastructure and energy-efficient solutions skyrockets. Our intelligent augmentation helps tradespeople work smarter while supporting society's most pressing building and maintenance needs.
The Labour Crisis in Numbers
• 10 million+ unfilled trade jobs worldwide
• 1 in 3 tradespeople will retire within a decade
• Just 9% of Gen Z are entering trades
• Over 50% of construction costs are labour
Without intervention, this shortage will:
→ Delay vital infrastructure projects (including energy upgrades)
→ Strain essential services from plumbing to electrical
→ Delay the move to a green, renewable world
Our Three-Phase Solution
Phase 1: AI Assistant (Now - 12 Months)
Every tradesperson receives an intelligent assistant that:
• Manages calls and scheduling
• Learns their workflows and business patterns
• Optimizes routes and job planning
Impact Within 12 Months:
• 10,000+ tradespeople using Pumpt
• 15+ hours saved weekly per user
Phase 2: Robotic Partners (1-3 Years)
On-site assistants that:
• Help with tools and materials
• Perform repetitive installation tasks
• Learn techniques from human experts
Impact Within 3 Years:
• 50,000+ robots deployed
• Targeted support for labour-intensive sectors like HVAC and electrical
Phase 3: Autonomous Workforce (3-5 Years)
Complete solutions for:
• Round-the-clock operations
• Complex job sequences
• Continuous skill improvement
Impact Within 5 Years:
• 100,000+ autonomous units handling critical trade work globally
• 30% faster project completion for essential infrastructure and renewable energy installations
• 25% reduction in labour bottlenecks delaying green transitions (heat pumps, solar, EV infrastructure)
• 24/7 operational capacity for time-sensitive upgrades and repairs
