Keep everyone in the loop

Your customers stop calling to ask. They already know.

Your office team sends the right update at every step of the job, booked, on the way, done and paid, so your phone stays quiet and nobody is left wondering.

Watch the van arrive, like an Uber driver

Tradehand sends an on-my-way text and a live ETA the moment the trader is dispatched, updating until the knock on the door. Customers can follow along instead of phoning to ask.

When plans change

Bad news travels first, from you

Tradehand tells the customer before they have to ask when a job is running late, overruns, or a slot has to move, with the new time and the updated link, and reschedules if the slot has to change.

Multi-party jobs

Tenant, landlord and property manager, all told at once

Tradehand gives everyone who should know their own version of the same event: the tenant gets the arrival time, the landlord gets the quote and invoice, the property manager gets the completion report. Nothing collapses to one person, nothing slips.

Questions, answered.

Do I have to send any of these updates myself?

No. Tradehand sends them as the job moves along. You get on with the work while your customers stay informed.

What if I want to change or add a message?

You can. The automatic updates cover the whole job by default, and you can send a personal message any time you want to add detail or reassurance.

How does the customer see the updates?

They land by text or email, and every job also has one live link the customer can open to see progress, arrival, quote, payment and completion proof in one place.

Can it keep tenants and landlords in the loop too?

Yes. On rental and managed jobs, Tradehand keeps the tenant, landlord and property manager all informed with the update each one needs.

What happens when a job runs late?

Tradehand tells the customer before they chase you, with the new time and the live link, and reschedules if the slot has to move.
