Job Management Software for Decorators
Job management software built for decorators. Organise customers, jobs, quotes, invoices and progress in one place. Track every job from quote to payment. Try Trade Assist free.
Managing decorating jobs is where many businesses come unstuck. You have quotes to follow up, jobs to book, materials to order, teams to coordinate and clients to keep informed — all at the same time. A missed appointment or a forgotten snag can damage your reputation.
Trade Assist is job management software built specifically for painters and decorators. It tracks every job from quote to payment with statuses that reflect how decorators actually work, so you always know exactly where each project stands and what needs to happen next.
Organise Customers and Jobs in One System
Every client is stored in a searchable directory with their contact details, job history, quotes, invoices and payment status. When a past client calls, you have their full history in seconds — including notes on access, parking and colour preferences.
Every job is linked to its quote and its client, giving you full traceability from first enquiry to final payment. No more searching through emails or notebooks to find what was agreed.
Track Every Job from Quote to Payment
Trade Assist tracks every job through decorating-specific statuses: Quoted, Booked, Ready to Start, Started, In Progress, Waiting, Snagging, Completed, Invoiced and Paid. These reflect the real stages of a decorating job, not generic project phases.
The job dashboard shows all your jobs in one view, filterable by status, so you can see at a glance what is quoted, what is booked and what needs attention.
Schedule and Coordinate Your Team
The schedule view shows all your jobs in a clear timeline. Set start and end dates, see what is coming up this week and next month, and plan your season with confidence. For Business plan users, assign jobs to team members who each see their own schedule.
Update job status from your phone on site and everyone stays informed in real time. The team workload view helps you balance the workload and avoid overcommitting any individual.
Progress Tracking, Snagging and Variations
For Business plan users, the Job Progress feature breaks each job into areas and tracks tasks within each area. Team members submit daily site updates and progress photos from their phones, creating a complete day-by-day record.
Log snag items and track them from Open to Resolved. Record variations and extra work, and add approved variations to the final invoice with one click so you never forget to charge for extra work.
