Sound familiar?
Messy admin slows good tradies down
You did not start your trade to chase paperwork, screenshots and bank transfers.
Approvals not documented
Verbal OKs and screenshot approvals are hard to prove when scope or price gets questioned later.
Invoices mean double handling
Retyping quote details into invoice templates wastes time and invites mistakes after the job.
Payments hard to track
Cash, bank transfers and part-payments spread across texts and bank apps — who still owes you?
Job expenses forgotten
Materials and subcontractor costs slip through the cracks. Revenue on the invoice is not the full story.
Customers chase screenshots
Customers lose PDFs and emails. You resend the same details instead of one clear link.
The fix
One app for the full job cycle
Quote on site → customer approves via link → convert to invoice → track what is paid and owing.
ProperTradie connects quoting, electronic approval, invoicing, manual payment tracking, expenses and feedback — mobile-first for sole traders and small trade businesses across Australia.
