Why TRAIDE exists

Running the job is only half the job.

You started a trade business because you were good at your trade. Then it grew. Suddenly you're managing leads, customers, quotes, jobs, staff, materials, invoices, suppliers, schedules and problems — and somehow expected to keep track of everything.

  • Customer calling
  • Employee texting
  • Quote waiting
  • Supplier email
  • Job running late
  • Invoice overdue
  • Timesheet missing
  • Variation forgotten
  • Materials required
  • Another new lead
That's why we built TRAIDE

One intelligent system connecting your office, your team, your customers and your jobs.

TRAIDE isn't more software to manage. It reduces how much you need to manage.

Everything connected

Not a set of tools. One operating system.

A lead becomes a customer, a quote, a job, a crew, a material order, an invoice and a margin — without anyone re-typing a thing. TRAIDE Intelligence isn't one feature. It runs across the whole loop.

Ask TRAIDE

Ask your business a question.

Type it the way you'd say it. TRAIDE answers from your actual jobs, staff, quotes, suppliers and invoices — then offers to do the next step.

Reads first. Drafts second. Nothing is sent, ordered or changed without you confirming it.

Owner workspace

See the whole business without chasing anyone.

One calm screen. Six numbers. A short list of what needs you — and nothing else. Powered by TRAIDE Intelligence, so the list is already prioritised.

  • RevenueInvoiced, collected and outstanding — this month, last month, quarter or year.
  • JobsScheduled, on site, completed. Which ones are drifting.

Transparent by design. Location is shared only while a team member is clocked in, with their consent, and they can see exactly what the office sees. It's about job attendance, accurate timesheets and knowing the day is on track — not tracking people.
