Built by tradies. For tradies.

Trade Platforms wasn't dreamed up by a software company. It was built by tradies running a busy trade business on live jobs across South East Queensland, to fix the problems we hit every single day.

Notes scribbled in the ute and typed up again at night. Crews turning up without the right gear. Call-backs fixed, then forgotten. Every module came from a real problem on a real job, and the whole crew uses it daily: on site, on the tools and in the office.

We know the work because we do the work.

Not off the shelf

Built for your business.

Trade Platforms isn't a one-size-fits-all app you have to bend your business around. Every platform is built and customised for your business. We sit down together, work through how you run your jobs, and design the layout and functionality to suit your business exactly.

Sit down together

We meet with you and your team and walk through how your business runs, from first enquiry to final invoice.

Design your layout

Together we map out the screens, modules and workflow that suit the way you work, in your own words.

Build and connect

We build your app, connect it to Xero and load your price lists, crew and branding.

Launch and grow

Your crew is up and running on day one, and the app changes as your business does.

Timesheets.

Tap start when you get to the job and stop when you leave. The hours land on the job by themselves.

A live timer on every phone, a weekly timesheet with notes for each day, and non-job time kept separate. No more chasing timesheets on a Friday.

Job Cards.

Customer, address, call, navigate and the work to do. Everything the crew needs, on one screen.

Tick off each task with a percentage complete, flag a return visit, and see the time logged against the job. Messages for the job are one tap away.

Jobs Board.

Every won job, stage by stage. Set your own stages, from set out to handover.

Each card shows progress on every part of the job, who's on it and whether it's booked. Move a job to the next stage in one click.

Schedule.

See the whole team's week. Drag a job onto a person's day to book it.

Switch between the team week and project progress. Everything still to book sits underneath, ready to drag in.

Gantt.

Every live project on one timeline, phase by phase.

Working days only, Monday to Friday. Each phase starts the day after the one before it finishes, so one change flows through the whole program.

Estimating.

From enquiry to won job, on one board. Know exactly what's in the pipeline.

Quote requested, under review, sent, hot prospect, won. Every column shows its total value, and hot prospects stand out so nothing goes cold.

Takeoffs.

Scale measurements straight off the plans, inside the app. Every run length and set-out point is ready for your estimate.

Load the plan and check the scale against a known dimension. Set your datum lines, mark the water meter, hot water, sewer and gas, then tap each outlet. Run lengths and X and Y set-outs from each datum are worked out for you and collected in a notepad you can copy straight into the estimate or take to site.

Quotes.

Build quotes from assemblies and your own supplier price lists. Labour and materials add up as you go.

Add assemblies, single lines, permits and design. A quote summary keeps labour hours, materials and totals in view, and each version locks once it's sent.

Project quote with quote summary, labour hours and materials

Price Lists.

Your supplier prices, with photos, ready to drop into a quote.

Load each month's price list and build assemblies like an ensuite rough-in once. They price themselves from today's list every time you use them.

Progress Claims.

Know what's invoiced, what's left to claim and what's still owed.

Raise claims against each project, record variations and track retentions. Outstanding invoices sit in their own tab so nothing slips through.

Xero.

Fully integrated with Xero, with two-way sync. Make a change in either one and it shows up in the other.

No double entry, no exporting and no copying numbers across at the end of the month. [List what syncs both ways, e.g. contacts, invoices, bills and payments.]

Purchase Orders.

Order materials against the job and see what's arrived and what's still to come.

Every order is tied to a project, so the cost lands on the right budget. Track what's on order, part received and waiting on a bill.

Purchase orders by supplier and project with delivery status

Finance.

Profit and loss, turnover and leave owed, at a glance.

Income against costs month by month, profit by month, twelve months of turnover and your top expenses. Budgets track every project's estimate against actual.

Finance dashboard with profit and loss, profit by month and turnover

Labour.

Every hour, against every project. Spot lost time before it costs you.

See each person's week, who has a timer running, and hours split between projects, other jobs and lost time.

Crew Messaging.

One board for the whole team, on every phone and PC.

Photos, files and @mentions to tag someone. No more chasing people across texts, emails and three different group chats.
