You paid to win that customer.
Don’t lose them in the inbox.

For Australian equipment, machinery and plant suppliers and dealers with a sales team. Nexi answers every customer the moment they get in touch. It finds out what they need your way (application, capacity, units and timing). Then it routes them to the right branch and passes them to your office manager with all the details. Nexi never makes up a rate. Unless you've told it to share one, your sales team quotes it.

What if your office never went quiet?

A customer lands on your site at 11:48pm looking at forklifts. Here's what happens next. Press play, sound on.

Still from the Nexi equipment video: a branch office manager shaking hands with a customer at the counter1:33

This film was made with AI to show how Nexi works. It's not a real customer's story.

What that actually looks like

It landed at 4:40pm on a Thursday. By Monday, they’d bought elsewhere.

You paid for that customer through your ads, your business and the name you've built in your state. Their message arrived after the branch had closed, while your sales team was hours away. It sat in the team inbox until someone opened the CRM on Monday.

By then the customer had already had a proper conversation with someone else. Nothing was mishandled. Nobody was lazy. There just wasn’t anyone free to answer it in time.

That's a staffing problem, not a discipline problem. A good office manager can juggle forty live quotes while taking parts calls and chasing freight. Add a second branch and messages need sorting before they can be answered. A system handles that load.

One customer, two outcomes

The order isn’t lost on price. It’s lost in the first hour.

Same Thursday-night message. Same dealer. Same good office manager. The only difference is who's awake when it arrives.

Before you cut the ad budget

Is it really a customer problem, or a follow-up problem?

A dealer runs a forklift campaign. Forty customers get in touch. Six get a same-day reply; the rest wait for a quiet hour. By the quarterly review the campaign has “produced two sales”.

The campaign gets blamed and the budget moves. Next quarter the new ad platform brings in forty customers again. Six get a same-day reply, two sales close. The leak was never in the ads.

Nexi fixes the step that’s actually broken: what happens in the first 20 minutes, and the follow-up over the eleven weeks after that.

The campaign did its job. The follow-up let it down.

Helps your team, never replaces it

A week has 168 hours. Your office is staffed for about 38 of them.

Nexi isn't a replacement hire. It covers every hour your office manager isn't in the office. When they are, it checks every visitor and passes each keen one to your team. They're across everything and they stay in charge.

Nexi · all 168 hours, every branch

Nights, weekends, public holidays, and the eleventh customer while your office manager is on the tenth.

Your office manager · their 38

Nexi follows their rules, fills them in on every customer, and steps back the moment they take over.

Not a chatbot

A chatbot waits for a click. Nexi starts a chat with customers already looking at your equipment. It remembers them however they get in touch and passes each one to your sales team with all the details.

How Nexi works

Nexi answers and finds out what they need. Your sales team quotes and closes.

Nexi handles everything until a customer is ready to talk price or buy. You set that point. After that, it's your team.

Built for how equipment is actually sold

The things that make selling equipment different.

A forklift fleet quote isn't a plumbing callout. Here's how Nexi handles the things that most chatbots get wrong.

Technical customers

Nexi asks the right questions: application, load capacity, lift height, fuel type, units and site. It never makes up a spec or picks a model on its own. Unless you've trained it and told it to, that's your sales team's call.

More than one branch

Nexi sorts customers by postcode, product line or branch. Each one lands with a named owner before the first reply goes out.

New, used or trade-in

For new equipment it captures application, units and timing. For used stock and trade-ins, it captures make, model, hours and condition. Rates and prices go to a person unless you've told Nexi to share them.

Parts and service calls

It sorts parts, servicing and breakdowns away from new customer messages. Each goes to the right queue, so no customer gets lost.

Your sales team owns the relationship

Existing customers are recognised and passed to their salesperson by name. Nexi opens the door; it never takes over an account.

Your CRM stays the main record

Every chat is written to NEXUSPRO CRM, HubSpot or Salesforce with a named owner.

What you’ll see in your demo

It handles customers like a good office manager would. It just doesn't go home.

1

It replies straight away, any hour

A message at 6:41pm gets a reply at 6:41pm, not at 9 the next morning.

2

It asks what your sales team would ask

Application, capacity, units, site, timing, new or used. In your words, because it learned them from your site.

3

It passes them on, then writes it down

When a customer asks about price or is ready to buy, Nexi books the call back. It steps aside. The CRM record already has a named owner.

The rules it works to

Try to make it guess a rate. It won't.

Nexi follows the rules you set. The ones in red are built in, and nobody can switch them off.

Nexi does
  • Answer every customer the moment they get in touch, day and night
  • Find out what they need, your way: application, capacity, units, new or used
  • Route by branch, postcode and product line
  • Follow up until the customer replies or asks it to stop
  • Book the call back or site visit into your calendar
  • Write one clean CRM record with a named owner
Nexi never Locked
  • Makes up a price, a rate or a rough guess. It only shares pricing you've told it to; everything else goes to your sales team
  • Makes up specs or sizes equipment: load centres, duty cycles, three-phase. It only suggests what you've trained it on and told it to; the rest is your engineer's call
  • Pretends to be a person. It says it’s an AI, every time
  • Contacts people who never contacted you
Who it’s built for

Australian businesses that quote before they sell.

If your customers turn into quotes, site visits or sales calls, Nexi is built for you.

Suppliers and dealers

You have a field sales team or an office manager, and sell equipment worth more than $1,000.

Before you build your demo

What dealers and sales managers ask us.

If yours isn’t here, build the demo and reply to the email it comes in. A person reads those replies.

Build My Free Demo →
Is the demo built on my website, or is it a generic bot?

It’s built on yours. Choose Full website when you build it and Nexi reads every page it can find. If your site lists branches in Malaga and Bunbury, the demo knows that. The only generic parts are the rules it never breaks.

Can it route customers to the right branch?

In a live setup, yes. Nexi sorts each customer by postcode, product line and branch. Each one lands with a named owner before the first reply goes out.

Will it replace my office manager or someone on my sales team?

No. Nexi covers what your office manager can't: after 5pm, weekends, the eleventh customer while they're on the tenth. It passes the customer over with all the details the moment they're ready to buy.

Does it handle used equipment and trade-ins?

Yes. For new equipment it asks: application, units and timing. For used stock and trade-ins: make, model, hours and condition. Rates and pricing go to a person unless you've told Nexi to share them.

Our customers are technical. Will it say something wrong?

It only answers from your own website and the rules you set. It asks the right questions rather than giving technical advice. It never makes up technical details, a rate or a promise about what's in stock. It only suggests equipment or quotes rates if you've trained it and told it to. Anything else technical goes to your sales team.

Will it get in the way of our current customer accounts?

No. Returning customers are matched to their CRM record and passed to their salesperson by name. Nexi covers the gaps; your sales team keeps the accounts.

What does it cost?

There's no set price. It depends on your customer numbers, branch structure and which options you turn on. The 20-minute Leaking Leads Check works that out from your own numbers. The demo is free either way.
