Introducing AI in a skilled trades business: up to 80% funding with INQA-Coaching

In short

Skilled trades businesses can have the introduction of AI-supported processes — such as phone assistance or appointment scheduling — funded by up to 80% through INQA-Coaching. We show what this looks like in practice.

The well-known problem: Between the workbench and the phone

In skilled trades, there is often simply no time to get to grips with AI tools alongside day-to-day business. This is exactly where INQA-Coaching comes in: it does not fund the tool itself, but the supported introduction into ongoing operations.

What INQA-Coaching covers for skilled trades businesses

  • Up to 80 % subsidy for coaching costs
  • Support with introducing AI phone assistance, digital appointment scheduling, or order processing
  • Up to 11,520 € in funding over 12 consulting days

Why this is more than a software rollout

Buying a tool does not solve a problem if no one uses it. INQA-Coaching supports the entire process — from selection to daily use within the team, including coordination with the responsible advisory office.

Practical example: From a ringing phone to a digital calendar

A car repair shop with three mechanics regularly missed calls during ongoing repairs. Through INQA-Coaching, the introduction of an AI phone assistant was supported — from the initial coordination to the final meeting, fully funded apart from the own contribution.

Frequently asked questions about INQA-Coaching in skilled trades

Is my business too small for the funding?

No — even small businesses with only a few employees are eligible for funding, as long as the general INQA criteria are met.

Does the entire workforce have to take part in the coaching?

No, in general it is sufficient to involve the employees who will later use the new processes in their day-to-day work.

Which topics are typical for skilled trades businesses?

Telephone assistance, appointment scheduling, order processing and digital filing are among the most common use cases.

How do I start the process?

With a non-binding initial consultation, in which we jointly assess whether and how INQA-Coaching fits your project.
