Empowering the Skilled Trades industry with AI and transforming how the industry sources & purchases

By Jordan Fantaay, Founder & CEO

At Pumpt, we’re revolutionising the skilled trades industry by building an intelligent assistant hub that helps tradespeople work smarter, grow their businesses, and access the best tools and products for their jobs. Integral to this is an AI-Commerce platform, where users can source and purchase any products and services for their jobs and projects through a marketplace of merchants and vendors.

Our mission is to take the Skilled trades industry and how products and services are sourced and purchased into an AI future by enhancing productivity, streamlining workflows, and connecting tradespeople with a marketplace of equipment, materials, and services tailored to their needs.

An industry drowning in inefficiencies, paperwork, and wasted time.

• 40% of a tradesperson’s day is spent on non-billable work (scheduling, invoicing, customer calls)
• 1 in 3 jobs face delays due to poor planning or miscommunication
• 70% of small trade businesses lack systems to track materials or optimize routes
• New tradespeople struggle without mentorship, leading to costly mistakes and slower growth

Without smarter tools:
→ Profits shrink from inefficiency and unbilled hour
→ Customer satisfaction drops due to delays and disorganisation
→ Burnout rises as skilled workers juggle roles they weren’t trained for (admin, sales, logistics)
→ Knowledge gaps grow as retiring experts take decades of know-how with them
