The Contractor Struggle

Running a trade business comes with unique challenges that traditional software wasn't built to solve

Messy Customer Records

Scribbled notes on paper, customer details in your phone, job history lost in text messages. Finding information when you need it is a nightmare, and you often can't remember what work you did last time.

Chaotic Scheduling

Double-bookings, forgotten appointments, inefficient routes that waste time and fuel. You're constantly on the phone rearranging jobs and apologising to customers for being late.

Slow Payment Collection

Creating invoices after hours, chasing payments weeks later, losing track of who owes what. Cash flow is unpredictable and you're spending evenings doing paperwork instead of relaxing.

No Business Visibility

You have no idea if you're actually profitable. Which customers are worth your time? Which services make money? You're flying blind and can't make informed decisions about growing your business.
