TradesBro is the all-in-one business app built for the one-person contractor — the plumber, electrician, HVAC tech, handyman, lawn-care pro, or mobile mechanic who IS the whole company. Most field-service software is built for companies with five trucks and office staff. TradesBro is built for you: the owner who answers the phone, schedules the job, does the work, writes the invoice, and keeps the books — all before dinner. EVERYTHING YOU NEED. NOTHING YOU DON'T. • SCHEDULE — See your day, week, or month at a glance. Add jobs in seconds and never miss an appointment. • CUSTOMERS — Keep every customer's info, job history, and notes in one tap. Start a new job, estimate, or invoice for them instantly. • ESTIMATES & INVOICES — Write a professional estimate, turn it into an invoice with one tap, and send it. Add your business logo so it looks the part. • GET PAID — Send customers a secure card-payment link and get money in your bank. Or send an invoice with no payment link when they just need it for their records. • SNAP-A-RECEIPT — Take a photo of a paper receipt and TradesBro reads the merchant, total, and tax for you, then files it as an expense. No more shoebox at tax time. • PROFIT & LOSS — See what you actually made — income minus expenses — for the month, quarter, or year. • JOB CHECKLISTS — Build reusable "don't forget" lists for common jobs: the tools to bring and the steps to run before you leave. Simple enough to learn in a day. Fair pricing that never charges extra just because your spouse or helper also needs access. Everything you need to run your business. Nothing you don't.
