What is TradesFlow?
TradesFlow is best understood as the operational home for jobs: where enquiries land, how they become scheduled work, and how quotes and customer communication stay organised. It is not “another app to babysit” — it is meant to reduce admin spikes while you stay on the tools.
- TradesFlow is the job system layer: enquiries, jobs, quotes, and customer records.
- It is designed for human-in-the-loop control — automations handle speed, you keep decisions.
- It pairs with missed-call SMS, enquiry capture, and review requests for a full stack.
The problem TradesFlow targets
Leads arrive from calls, forms, WhatsApp, and referrals — then scatter across notebooks, inboxes, and unread notifications.
TradesFlow is the named system for turning that chaos into a single pipeline you can trust, without losing the human judgement that wins complex jobs.
Core modules (plain English)
Think enquiries, job board, quote workspace, calendar, customer records, and invoice-ready outputs — the basics a growing trade needs once volume rises.
The point is continuity: the customer should feel handled, even when three different people touch the job.
How automations connect
Missed-call SMS and web enquiry capture feed the top of the funnel. Quote follow-up prevents silent stalls. Review requests capture proof after successful work.
TradesFlow becomes valuable when those events need a durable record — not just a notification you swipe away.
When to adopt it
If you are missing follow-ups weekly, losing track of quotes, or duplicating data entry, you are in the adoption window.
If you are still comfortably paper-based with zero leakage, you may not need it yet — start with measurement and recovery first.
