The whole back office
Everything between the phone call and the paycheck
The paperwork engine — quotes, jobs, invoices, customers — is live today. The AI phone layer is next on the roadmap, and it's clearly marked below.
Mobile-first customer CRM
Every customer, phone number, and job history in your pocket. Tap to call, search by name or number, and add a new customer mid-job in seconds.
Real-time job tracking
See every job's status at a glance — booked, in progress, invoiced, paid. Tap a status to move it along and the pipeline updates instantly.
Quotes with e-signature
Send a branded quote by email — your customer opens a secure link and approves & signs from their phone in two taps. Declines come back with a reason, and you're notified either way.
Quote-to-job in one tap
Customer says yes? One tap turns the signed quote into a booked job — scope, price, and customer carried over. Nothing re-typed.
Auto-invoice on completion
Mark a job done and the invoice generates itself from the job — your logo, line items, and tax. It drafts for your review, or emails the customer automatically if you turn that on. Mark it paid and the job closes itself.
One-tap email delivery
Quotes and invoices email themselves the moment you hit Send — branded, with replies landing in your inbox, plus a shareable link if you'd rather text it.
24/7 AI call answering
An AI receptionist that answers every inbound call day or night, books the job, and texts you the details. No more voicemail, no more missed work.
Missed-call text-back
Up the ladder and can't grab the phone? The second a call goes unanswered, TradeAide texts the caller back so you never lose the lead.
Automated reminders
Appointment reminders that go out by text and email automatically, slashing no-shows and the 'are you still coming?' calls.
AI collections follow-up
Polite, persistent AR sequences that chase every unpaid invoice for you. Get paid without playing bad cop after dinner.
Quote follow-up sequence
Quotes that sit cold get followed up automatically. Win back the jobs you used to forget about.
Google review requests
Happy customer? TradeAide asks for the 5-star Google review at the perfect moment. Rank higher, win more jobs.
How it works
One flow, start to finish: booking → job → invoice → paid
Book it in seconds
A call comes in at 8pm. You book it in seconds — new customer and job in one form, right from your phone. (AI answering that books it for you: coming soon.)
You run the job
The job lands on your schedule with the address, scope, and customer notes. You show up, do the work, and tap 'Complete.'
Invoice generates itself
Mark the job done and the branded invoice is created automatically — drafted for your review, or emailed straight to the customer with a link that opens on any phone.
You get paid
Money lands, you tap Mark paid, and everything reconciles — invoice, job, and customer history. (AI collections follow-up: coming soon.)
Why TradeAide
The only AI-native platform built for small shops
ServiceTitan is built for the big guys and priced per tech. Jobber and Housecall Pro never pick up the phone. TradeAide does the one thing they don't: the admin, automatically.
