A quick hello

[YourTradeBase]

Just a quick hello (...hello!)

I'm Adam - I'm not a plumber (don't throw anything at me just yet...), but a lot of my customers (and friends) are. I've built some online software that helps plumbers (and other tradespeople) create and manage their paperwork.

I'm not looking to sell anything - or shout about my product - but looking to get a better understanding of the problems you guys (and gals) face day-to-day when running your businesses.

Hopefully, I might even be able to chime in with some advice and perhaps a different perspective.

Cheers for reading this (and not throwing anything at this non-plumber!)
Adam

Hello and welcome

Dali! I can't be bothered when it's sunny? Any apps that could help? It's sort of seasonal affected disorder?

 

[YourTradeBase]

Thanks all.

Kris, no idea what an 8" Bahco is (or any other size one, for that matter), but it sounds heavy, so I'll keep my wits about me!

Hi Adam,

Welcome.

I actually use 'YourTradeBase' as my default software and IMHO it's brilliant.
If you have a suggestion for improvements they are quick to respond. The main thing about it that niggles me is the price banding. I know that it's not a lot on a monthly basis but I don't do a huge number of jobs per week; some times it's 1 job and other times it's 6 or 7 jobs but I have to pay the top price because I'm over the meagre limit for the lower band pricing. I think that there should be a lower, middle and top band for pricing purposes but apart from this little problem I love using the software. I can actually send an invoice from my iPad, phone or computer while I'm out and about, and my secretary (The Wife) can do the same from the office (home), and all my contacts/quotes/invoices are stored remotely, which gives me added piece of mind in case my computer pack up working.
Definitely recommended.
