You looked for job management software. Tradehand does the admin for you.

Tradehand is the business app for UK trades, not another diary you drive yourself. Ordinary job management software gives you tools for quotes, scheduling and invoices. Tradehand includes that work and an assistant that does it: answers the call, quotes, books, invoices and chases payment. If you want pure diary and two-way Xero depth, compare Tradehand vs Tradify and read the plumber and electrician job management guides.

Tradehand does the admin. Ordinary software gives you a diary, a quote form and an invoice screen you still have to operate. Tradehand comes with an assistant that operates them for you: it answers the call, quotes it, books it, invoices it and chases the payment. You approve the work, and your assistant does it.

Tradehand runs the whole job, from the first message to the final payment: answering every call, text, email and web chat, pricing and sending quotes, booking the diary, keeping the customer updated, invoicing, chasing what is owed, and handing your team a briefed job on site. One assistant across every part of the job.

No. You start by approving each message and quote, and once you are comfortable you let more of it run on its own. Tradehand does the admin around the job while you are on the tools, so your evenings stop going on quotes and chasing.

Those are tools you still have to work: you type the quote, you send the reminder, you chase the invoice. Your Tradehand assistant does that work for you, on the customer's own channel, under your own name. It is the admin a big firm pays a salary for, and it costs you nothing until it collects.

There is no monthly fee. Tradehand earns 5% of the invoice payments Tradehand chases and collects after the fee-free allowance, so if no collection, no fee, and card processing is covered inside that, so you keep 95% of every payment collected. An office admin costs £25,000 a year or more whether or not the invoices land, per National Careers Service salary data (checked 25 July 2026).

Yes. On a managed or rental job the tenant gets the arrival time, the landlord or agent gets the quote and the invoice, and the completion report goes to whoever needs it. Everyone on the job stays informed and the bill goes to whoever is paying, not always the person who called.
