One person in Glasgow,
building the front door for trades.

Shoogly is Scots for wobbly. Your enquiries are shoogly and scattered: a form here, an email there, a call you missed on the tools. We make them solid. This page is who is behind that, and why.

Who

Jamie Sim. I studied Architecture at Edinburgh, then Game Development at postgraduate level. Architecture taught me how this kind of work actually flows: the rhythm of a project, the gap between a customer’s brief and a workable answer, the difference between a firm that wins repeat work and one that doesn’t. Game development taught me how to ship working systems under pressure.

I went full time on Shoogly in August 2026. I build the systems, run the onboarding, and pick up the phone when something needs sorting. No account managers, no ticket queue.

Why trades

When AI started reshaping what was possible for small businesses, the home service firms people rely on every day, plumbers, electricians, builders, multi-trade teams, were being left behind. Not because they weren’t capable, but because nobody was building tools around how their work actually runs: on the tools, in a van, phone in a jacket pocket.

The problem is rarely the work. It is the enquiry that landed at 9pm and sat unread, the email to info@ found on Thursday, the call that rang out. Good tradesmen lose work to silence. That is the problem Shoogly exists to fix.

What we build

One AI brain behind every door into the business. It reads each enquiry and any photos, qualifies it, scores it, drafts the reply in the owner’s voice and puts a brief on his phone, all within minutes. He taps send, or fixes it first. Anything risky is held for him. It never quotes a price and never denies being AI if a customer asks.

Around the brain: premium websites built with the system wired in, and, from autumn 2026, one app on the owner’s phone with every conversation in one inbox, a job board, bookings and review requests. The FAQ has the straight answers on what is switched on today.

How we work

Plain English, no jargon, no hype. We tell you exactly what is built and what is coming before you pay a penny. Not happy with the build in the first 30 days, full refund. Pricing depends on your setup and is talked through on a 15-minute call, never published, because a number without the context is meaningless.

Our first client is Fix It, renovation and maintenance in Glasgow’s West End. We built their website and the enquiry system behind it, and it has been running for their real customers since August 2026.

Fifteen minutes, to see if we're a good fit.

You talk to me, the person who built it. We look at how enquiries reach you today and I’ll tell you straight whether this is worth it for your firm.
