TradeSheet

Run the whole job from one app

TradeSheet is field service software for trades, installers and inspection teams. Schedule work, track crews, quote and invoice, generate certificates, capture geo-tagged photos, take card payments on iPhone, and sync it all to QuickBooks or Xero.

  • Geofence clock in
  • Works offline in the field
  • Mandatory 2FA on every account

Everything a field business needs, in one place

These aren't marketing bullets. Every feature below is shipped and in daily use.

Jobs with a real status workflow

Track every job from draft through scheduled, in progress, awaiting compliance, awaiting invoice, awaiting payment and completed. Auto transitions fire when a booking is made, a clock-in starts, an invoice is raised or a payment clears.

Clients, contacts and site addresses

Keep company and individual clients, multiple contacts per client, and separate billing and site addresses. Full history of notes, photos, communications and linked jobs.

Quotes and invoices with branded templates

Build quotes and invoices with line items, labor rates, materials and VAT. Send as a branded PDF, track acceptance, and customise templates per document type in the document editor.

Electrical certificates (EIC, EICR, MWC)

Fill and export compliance certificates straight from the mobile app, even without signal. Multiple template versions with your fonts, colours and header layout.

Custom forms with conditional logic

Build your own forms with 15+ field types including photos, signatures, dropdowns, editable tables and info boxes. Sections and fields can show or hide based on other answers.

Timesheets and geo clock in

Engineers clock in and out by walking onto the job. Travel time between sites is tracked automatically. Management reviews, approves, rejects or amends timesheets with a full audit trail.

Geo-tagged photos with GPS watermarks

Every photo records GPS coordinates, timestamp and What3Words address. Optional on-image watermark burns the evidence into the JPEG so your documentation is tamper-evident.

Materials, suppliers and expenses

Company-wide materials catalog with pricing. Log expenses against jobs with receipt photos. Supplier directory with branches for fast selection on purchase orders.

Real-time chat for the whole company

Job, team, project and direct message channels with reactions, pins, mentions, attachments, search and read receipts. Push notifications respect mutes and business hours.

Leave, holidays and automations

Staff submit holiday, sick and unpaid leave. Management approves with balance tracking. Trigger-based automations fire SMS, email or webhooks when jobs are created, invoices sent or payments received.

Projects and subcontractor management

Group multi-visit work into projects with stages, files and linked finances. Invite subcontractors, assign them to jobs and invoice them separately with QuickBooks or Xero sync.

Webhooks, API keys and Bob AI

Signed outbound webhooks, per-company API keys, and Bob, the in-app AI assistant that can search clients, book jobs, reply to enquiries and set reminders in plain English.

Built for the field, not the office

The TradeSheet mobile app does the things a field app should actually do: take payments, prove you were there, and keep working when the signal drops.

Tap to Pay on iPhone

Take card payments in person on any iPhone XS or newer running iOS 18+. Works with Apple Pay, contactless cards, Google Pay and Samsung Pay. No card reader, no dongle, no extra hardware.

Geofence clock in and out

A state machine watches the job site and clocks engineers in when they arrive, out when they leave, and tracks travel time between sites on its own. The Live Activity widget keeps the current state on the lock screen.

Offline-first from day one

Jobs, clients, forms and certificates stay on the device, so engineers can work in plant rooms, basements and rural properties with no signal. Everything syncs back as soon as the phone reconnects.

Signatures, photos and readings

Capture client signatures, meter readings and before/after photos directly inside custom forms. The signed PDF is produced on the device so you can email or save it straight away.

Mandatory two-factor auth

Every account is protected with email, SMS or authenticator app 2FA. Backup codes are generated on setup and can be regenerated at any time.

FLIR thermal camera support

Attach a FLIR module and record thermal photos and video with radiometric data and min/max/average temperature. Useful for electrical inspections, insulation surveys and fault finding.

Smart navigation to rural sites

The Navigate button prefers saved lat/lng and What3Words over postcodes, so named houses and rural properties route correctly in Apple Maps or Google Maps.

Quiet push notifications

Chat and clock notifications respect mutes, business hours and per-channel rules. Silent pushes run background sync without buzzing the phone.

Integrations that actually integrate

We only ship integrations we use ourselves. If it's listed here, it is wired in, signed, webhook-verified and reconciled.

QuickBooks Online

OAuth-linked two-way sync of invoices, quotes, payments, customers and subcontractor bills. Deposits mapped to the right account.

Xero

OAuth sync for invoices, payments and contacts. Subcontractor invoices post as supplier bills against the right project.

Stripe payments

Stripe Connect for card payments, with Tap to Pay on iPhone on mobile. Payment intents, refunds and fees flow into your finance history automatically.

SMS and voice

Buy a business number for your company, send SMS updates to clients with templated messages, and route inbound calls and replies back into the app against the right job.

Shared company inbox

Every company gets a shared enquiries inbox inside the app. Incoming emails are grouped by sender, auto-linked to clients, and replied to in-thread without leaving TradeSheet.

What3Words

Autosuggest, coordinate lookup and saved W3W locations per client. Every geo-tagged photo gets a W3W address alongside lat/lng.

Outbound webhooks

Register signed webhook endpoints. Subscribe to events like job.updated, invoice.paid or payment.succeeded and push data into your own stack.

API keys

Issue per-company API keys with scoped permissions. Rate-limited REST API with Swagger docs at /api/swagger/docs.

Bob, the in-app AI

Ask Bob to find a client, book a visit, read the inbox, reply to an enquiry or set a reminder. Role-aware and multi-tenant, so it only sees your company data.

What changes when you switch

TradeSheet is built for teams where someone is always on a roof, in a loft, under a floor or in a van. The goal is simple: the job finishes with the paperwork already done.

  • Office and field see the same live data, with no end-of-week paperwork
  • Timesheets are automatic, so payroll stops being a Friday afternoon argument
  • Certificates and custom forms are completed on site, signed, and emailed before you leave
  • Invoices go out the moment a job is marked complete, and chase themselves
  • Photos, materials and expenses are logged against the right job, not lost in WhatsApp
  • Subcontractors and engineers only see the work assigned to them

Who it is for

TradeSheet was originally built by an electrical contractor, so the compliance tooling is genuinely good, but the platform is not tied to one trade. It is used by:

  • Electrical contractors
  • Solar & renewables installers
  • HVAC and refrigeration engineers
  • Plumbing and heating firms
  • Fire & security installers
  • EV charger installers
  • Facilities and maintenance teams
  • Property inspection companies
  • Telecoms and data cabling

Simple pricing. No per-feature paywalls.
