Address signal check
Customers enter an address and see coverage guidance, transmitter direction and what install they'll likely need.
Antenna installer software: signal checks & bookings
Antenna installers: know the signal before you climb the roof. Right gear, first trip.
The phone rings all day with "will it work at my place?" Jobs get booked blind. The van leaves without the high-gain antenna it needed. Then you lose an afternoon to a second trip for a masthead amp. We build address-based signal checks, booking, quoting and job sheet systems for antenna installers. We host them and look after them too.
Looking for antenna installer booking software that checks the address first?
Every antenna job comes down to the address. How far is it to the transmitter? Is there a hill or a block of units in the way? Which tower should the antenna point at? Is it a blackspot that needs satellite? Generic trade apps treat a new antenna like any other job, so you only find out on the roof. By then you've got the wrong antenna in the van and an extra point the customer forgot to mention.
Wollopit builds custom software around how your antenna business actually runs. The customer enters an address and gets coverage guidance from transmitter locations plus your own past jobs nearby. They pick a package, add extra points or a wall mount and book a time. Your tech sees the recommended gear before leaving the yard. Signal readings and photos go on the job sheet and the invoice goes straight to Xero. We connect the tools you already use and host the lot on our own servers.
01The problems
What we hear from antenna installers
Does your antenna business have these problems? Here's how we'd fix them.
Most antenna businesses we talk to are brilliant on the roof and stretched thin on the phone. Half the day goes on questions a good booking page could answer.
- The problemReception unknown until you're up thereYou book the job blind and find out about the hill, the trees or the distance from the tower once the ladder's up.How we fix itAn address check at booking: distance and direction to the nearest transmitters, terrain notes and results from your past jobs on the same street.
- The problemWrong gear in the vanA fringe area needs a high-gain antenna and a masthead amp but the van's loaded for a standard metro install.How we fix itRecommended antenna, amp and mast flagged on the job from the address, so the tech packs right before leaving.
- The problemSecond trip for a boosterThe picture's still pixelating, the customer's annoyed and you're back tomorrow with an amp you didn't charge for.How we fix itGear set before you go plus on-site readings logged, so upsells are quoted and done on the first visit.
- The problemEndless 'how much?' callsCustomers want a price over the phone and you can't give one without knowing the house.How we fix itClear packages online: new antenna, replacement, retune or extra point, priced and bookable without a phone call.
- The problemExtra TV points blow out the quoteThree bedrooms, a patio TV and a run through a cavity wall nobody mentioned until you arrived.How we fix itPoint-by-point pricing in the booking with questions about wall types, storeys and roof access.
- The problemStrata jobs are a headacheMATV systems in unit blocks need building manager sign-off, keys, roof access and a resident notice.How we fix itStrata jobs with building contacts, access notes, approval tracking and resident notices sent for you.
- The problemProperty manager work gets lostAgents email jobs, tenants don't answer the phone and nobody knows who's paying.How we fix itA portal for property managers to log jobs, with tenant contact handled by SMS and invoices to the right owner.
- The problemPixelation callbacks with no historyA customer rings about a dodgy picture and you can't remember what went in or which way it points.How we fix itEvery install saved against the address: antenna, direction, readings and photos, ready for the next callback.
- The problemBlackspots and satellite jobsSome addresses just won't get terrestrial signal and the customer doesn't know VAST exists.How we fix itLikely blackspots flagged at the check, with a satellite install path and the right questions asked up front.
- The problemAdd-ons never offeredCustomers don't know you do wall mounts, cabling, splitters or home theatre setups.How we fix itAdd-ons offered in the booking and on the job sheet, so the wall mount gets booked with the antenna.

04How it changes
Before and after
A reception call-out, wolloped.
Here's how a fringe-area install could change. Every antenna business is different, so we map yours first.
Before
- Customer rings asking if it'll work at their place
- You guess a price over the phone
- Arrive with a standard antenna in the van
- Pixelation on two channels and no amp on hand
- Second trip tomorrow for a booster
- Wall mount never gets mentioned
After
- Customer checks their address on your website
- Fringe area flagged with high-gain gear recommended
- They book the package and add a wall mount
- Tech packs the antenna and amp from the job sheet
- Readings logged and photos taken on the first visit
- Invoice paid on the day and synced to Xero

07How we work
The process
Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.
We get properly below the surface of your antenna business: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.
- 01
Think
We ride along, sit with whoever answers the phone and work out where the time goes between the first call and the paid invoice.
- 02
Archi-tech
We plan it before writing code: your service area, packages, gear, strata and agent work, existing apps, hosting and cost.
- 03
Build
Real engineering shown to you early and often. Usually the signal check and booking first, so the phone quietens down quickly.
- 04
Look after
We host it, maintain it and keep improving it. When something breaks you call the people who built it.
08Questions
FAQ
Things antenna installers ask us.
Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.
Can it show coverage information to customers?
Yes. We can show general coverage guidance during booking, like distance and direction to the nearest transmitters and results from your past jobs nearby, so customers know what to expect before you arrive.
Can it recommend the right antenna and amp for a job?
Yes. You set the rules, like fringe areas getting a high-gain antenna and a masthead amp. The recommended gear lands on the job sheet so the van is packed right.
Can customers book and pay online?
Yes. Set-price packages for installs, retunes and extra points can be booked into real time slots, with deposits or payment on the day.
We already use ServiceM8 or Tradify. Do we have to switch?
No. If your job management app is doing its job, we build the signal check, booking and portals around it and feed jobs straight in. If it's holding you back, we'll show you what replacing it would involve first.
Can property managers and building managers log jobs themselves?
Yes. They get their own logins to raise jobs, track approvals and see status, with tenant access booked by SMS.
How much does an antenna business system cost?
It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand it. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build.
How long does it take?
Smaller pieces like a signal check and booking page can be quick. Bigger systems are planned in stages so you get the first win early instead of waiting for everything at once.
Who looks after it once it's built?
We do. We host it on our own managed servers and keep it updated and secure. When you need something you ring the people who built it.
We already have systems. Can you upgrade them instead of starting again?
Usually, yes. Most antenna installers we work with keep what's working and upgrade the rest in stages. We move your data across, connect the old and new while we switch and retire the old system only when the new one is proven.
