Trade Assist stores all your business documents in one secure, searchable place. Find any document in seconds, from any device.
Deep Dive: Document Storage
Every decorating business generates a mountain of documents — quotes, invoices, insurance certificates, health and safety files, contracts, paint warranties, colour records. Keeping them all organised and accessible is a challenge that grows with your business. The longer you trade, the more documents you have, and the harder it becomes to find the one you need.
Trade Assist Document Storage solves this by archiving every document automatically and storing it securely in the cloud. Every quote and invoice you create is archived the moment it is generated — even if the original is later deleted, the archive copy remains. This means you always have a permanent record of every document you have ever produced.
The search functionality is what makes the archive genuinely useful. Search by client name, document type, date or document number and find any document in seconds. When a client calls asking for a copy of an invoice from six months ago, you find it instantly — no digging through emails, no searching through folders, no asking the client to resend it.
For decorators who work on commercial projects or landlord contracts, document storage is also a compliance tool. Many contracts require you to retain documents for a specific period. With Trade Assist, you know every document is stored permanently, securely and is always retrievable — giving you peace of mind and making audits straightforward.
