The Problems Every Growing Trades Business Hits

You started with a notebook, a phone, and word of mouth. It worked. Then the jobs piled up and the cracks started showing.

"

All our job details are in WhatsApp threads

The customer's address is in one message, the description of the work is in another, and the photo of the problem is somewhere in the group chat from last Tuesday. When you're on site trying to find the details, you're scrolling through hundreds of messages. It's not a system — it's a mess that happens to work most of the time.

"

Quoting takes forever and we lose track of what we quoted

You write quotes on paper, or in a Word document, or in a text message. Half the time you can't remember what price you gave three weeks ago. When the customer comes back and says "you said it would be two thousand," you've no record to check against. A proper quoting tool would take minutes instead of an hour.

"

There's no photo record of the work we've done

You take before-and-after photos on your phone, but they're mixed in with personal photos and never attached to the right job. When a customer disputes the work six months later, or when you want to show a new client what you've done before, the evidence is buried in someone's camera roll.

"

Friday evening is spent doing admin instead of finishing for the week

Invoices, timesheets, chasing payments, updating the diary for next week. The actual skilled work gets done during the day, but the business side eats your evenings and weekends. The admin doesn't have to take this long — it takes this long because the tools are wrong.

"

We can't tell which jobs are actually profitable

You know what you quoted, but do you know what the job actually cost? Materials, labour hours, travel, callbacks — when none of this is tracked properly, you can't see which types of work make money and which ones you're doing at a loss. You're busy, but you're not sure you're profitable.

Custom Tools for Trades Businesses

Not a generic app that tries to do everything. Not enterprise software designed for construction firms with 500 staff. Tools built around how your business actually runs day to day.

Job Trackers

Every job in one place: customer details, site address, description of work, status, photos, and notes. See what's booked, what's in progress, and what's waiting for sign-off. No more scrolling through WhatsApp to find the details.

Quoting Tools

Create professional quotes on site or back at the office. Save templates for common jobs, add line items, and send a branded PDF to the customer. When they accept, the quote becomes a job automatically. Every quote is stored and searchable.

Customer Portals

Give your customers a simple login where they can see the status of their job, view quotes, approve work, and download invoices. It looks professional, saves you phone calls, and sets you apart from competitors still working off text messages.

Photo Documentation

Attach photos directly to each job: before, during, and after. They're timestamped, linked to the right customer, and stored securely. When someone queries the work six months later, you have the evidence immediately.

Invoicing

Generate invoices from completed jobs with one click. Track what's been paid and what's outstanding. Send reminders automatically. Turn Friday evening admin into a five-minute task.

Job Profitability

Track actual costs against each job: materials, labour hours, travel. See which types of work are profitable and which ones are costing you money. Make better decisions about what work to take on.

RepairDesk: Ticket-Based Job Tracking in Production

We built RepairDesk — a repair ticket management system that handles intake, status tracking, photo documentation, and customer notifications. The workflow is very similar to what trades businesses need: a job comes in, gets tracked through stages, and closes out with an invoice. It's live and in production. The same approach applies directly to plumbing, electrical, and building work.

From Conversation to Working Software

No 60-page specification documents. No six-month timelines. We keep it simple.

1

We Have a Conversation

You tell us what's not working. We listen, ask questions, and figure out whether we're the right fit. No jargon, no sales pitch. Over a call or a coffee in Cork — your choice.

2

We Build It With You

You see working software within weeks, not months. We build in short cycles so you can give feedback early and often. No disappearing for three months and hoping for the best.

3

You Use It, We Support It

We hand it over, train your team, and stick around. Real support from the person who built it — not a call centre in another country.
