Managing every part of a trades business is no small feat, yet you’re expected to keep everything running and your customers happy.
Running a home service business can be hard. You need to track a lot of information to keep things moving, your customers happy, and get paid!
This is why every home service tradesperson needs field management software.
Home service trades businesses benefit from field management software that increases their productivity and automates a lot of the administration work.
According to the CEO at Tradesflow, the field management software was first created to meet the unique pain points of their stucco repair company. Workers’ literacy and technology barriers stopped them from using existing software that would help them grow their business.
Turns out, over half of trades workers have technology adoption barriers and many simply cannot use other field management software. It can be hard to learn, is expensive, and often limited to specific trades. They needed something simple, flexible, and affordable. The company wanted something the whole team could use.
So, they built Tradesflow. And everybody used it.
