Recurring Jobs for Decorators
Manage recurring jobs and contracts. Schedule regular work, track renewals and never miss a repeat booking.
Many decorators have recurring work — a commercial property painted every year, a landlord's properties on a rolling schedule, a client who wants their exterior done every two years. Keeping track of these contracts is easy to get wrong.
Trade Assist helps you manage recurring jobs so you never miss a renewal or a repeat booking.
Deep Dive: Recurring Jobs
Recurring work is the foundation of a stable decorating business. A commercial property painted every year, a landlord's portfolio on a rolling schedule, a school redecorated each summer, a restaurant refreshed every six months — these contracts provide predictable revenue and reduce the feast-or-famine cycle that plagues many trade businesses.
But managing recurring work is surprisingly difficult without a system. You need to remember when each contract is due, schedule it in advance, ensure the client is notified, and make sure the work is done on time. Miss a renewal and you might lose the contract to a competitor. Schedule it too late and you might not have capacity. Trade Assist Recurring Jobs gives you the tools to manage all of this in one place.
The renewal reminders are the most valuable feature. Set up a recurring job and the system reminds you when it is coming up, so you can schedule it, notify the client and order materials in advance. No more missed renewals, no more last-minute scrambles. Your recurring contracts run like clockwork, and your clients appreciate the reliability.
For decorators looking to build recurring revenue, the contract tracking feature helps you manage the commercial side of these relationships. Track the terms, renewal dates and pricing for each contract, so you always know what was agreed and when it is up for renewal. This makes contract negotiations straightforward and ensures you never miss an opportunity to renew or renegotiate.
