Spend less time on paperwork

Everything you need on site and in the van

Whether you are a sole trader or a small crew, TradeMate keeps your trade business organised — from first quote to sign-off and invoice. Designed for electricians, plumbers, builders, decorators, landscapers and other UK trades.

Modern tech, fair pricing, fast start

TradeMate is built on current mobile and cloud technology with security and privacy designed in from day one — not a decade-old desktop product repackaged for your phone. We follow industry best practices so your clients, jobs and paperwork stay protected while the app stays quick on site.

Unlike outdated trade software vendors focused on locking you in and upselling, we built TradeMate to be considerably more efficient on a phone — and on average around a third less than typical subscriptions, because we are not funding bloated sales teams and legacy systems you never touch.

• Cutting-edge stack A modern app architecture that is maintained and improved — reliable, fast, and built for how trades work today.
• Security & best practices Secure sign-in, encryption in transit and at rest, and careful handling of your business data — the foundation you expect from software built now, not bolted on later.
• Better value Fair pricing without the “enterprise” tax — typically about one-third less than comparable trade packages, with a free tier to try before you commit.
• Built for efficiency Phone-first workflows: fewer steps from quote to invoice, less evening admin, and more time on the tools — not fighting clunky menus.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about TradeMate as job management and CRM software for UK trades.

• What is TradeMate?

  TradeMate is mobile job management software for UK tradespeople — clients, jobs, quotes, invoices, compliance checklists, photos, snag lists and PDF reports in one app.

• Is TradeMate a CRM for trades?

  Yes. It is a lightweight trade CRM on your phone: client details, job history, site addresses and paperwork linked to each job.

• Does it work offline on site?

  Core job data works offline on your device. When you are signed in, data syncs across devices when you are back online.

• Can I send quotes and invoices?

  Yes — create quotes and invoices from jobs, export PDFs and share with clients. Optional Stripe card payments are available when you connect Stripe in the app. Learn more about quotes & invoices.

• Can I share my calendar on the Solo plan?

  Yes. Solo includes up to three calendar viewers — they see the shared schedule and can add entries, without access to your full client list or admin features. See what's new.

• Do job receipts help with accounts and MTD?

  When you assign an expense category to a receipt on a job, it can feed your Accounts totals and period CSV export. Categories are generic trade buckets (materials, fuel, etc.) — map them in your accountant or MTD software as needed.

• How much does TradeMate cost?

  A free tier is available; paid plans unlock more jobs and team features in the app. See pricing overview.

• How quickly can I get started?

  Download the app, complete a short guided setup, and optionally import clients from your phone contacts. Many trades are logging their first job within minutes — no lengthy onboarding or desktop setup.
