For trades
Quotes out the same day. You, home by six.
Plumbers, electricians, builders, roofers, landscapers, cleaners. The inbox never stops, quotes go out late, and invoices get chased only when cash gets scary. Hand that lot over.

The first thing to hand over
"This quote request just came in. Price it from my list and get it ready to send."
Say it in chat, on WhatsApp, or by forwarding an email. That's the setup.
A working day
A Tuesday with Penny
Sam runs a six-person plumbing firm. This is a Tuesday with Penny on the admin: every line of it on the record, and only one decision reaching Sam's phone.

The three that matter here
The fair question
"What if it sends something stupid to a customer?"
It can't. Messages to customers wait for your approval, and that's built into how Truepenny works, not a preference you could get wrong. It stays that way until you yourself decide to loosen it. Until then, Penny drafts; you tap Approve from the van.
