Your tools work hard.
Your software should too.

“A Brampton electrician quoted a 200-amp panel upgrade from memory, forgot the ESA permit fee, and ate $1,200 on a $4,800 job.”

Trades pros build quotes in their heads or on scrap paper while standing in a customer's basement. Material costs change monthly, permit fees vary by municipality, and labour estimates drift without historical data. One missed line item turns a profitable job into a loss.

“A Hamilton roofing contractor needed before-and-after photos for an insurance claim six months later. The apprentice who took them had quit and wiped his phone.”

Every crew member snaps photos on their personal device. Those images never get organized, labelled, or attached to the right job file. When a warranty dispute, insurance claim, or online review needs visual proof, the photos are gone or buried in someone's camera roll.

“A Mississauga GC lost a $38,000 condo board contract because two crew members' Working at Heights certifications had lapsed. Nobody tracked the renewal dates.”

Ontario trades need valid WSIB clearance certificates, Working at Heights cards, trade licences, and municipal business permits. Tracking expiry dates across a crew of five to fifteen people using spreadsheets or memory means something always lapses. Property managers and general contractors now verify before awarding work.

“A Toronto plumber finished a $2,600 rough-in for a basement apartment, emailed a PDF invoice, and spent the next 11 weeks chasing payment through texts that got ignored.”

Trades invoice after the work is done, which means leverage disappears the moment the van pulls away. PDF invoices sent by email get buried. E-transfer requests get forgotten. Following up feels awkward and eats hours every week that should be spent on billable work.

“A Scarborough HVAC company booked two furnace installs in Oakville and a duct cleaning in Pickering on the same Tuesday. The tech drove 187 km between jobs and missed the third appointment entirely.”

Without centralized scheduling that accounts for job duration, travel time, and crew availability, dispatching is guesswork. Double-bookings, geographic ping-ponging, and missed appointments burn fuel, lose clients, and exhaust your team.
