TradeWork — one app for the trades

The trades are still running on notes apps, PDF invoices, text threads, and checks. It works—barely. Estimates get lost. Crews double-book. Payments sit in inboxes waiting to be matched. General-purpose CRMs are too heavy for a foreman juggling jobs. Trade-specific apps usually live in the office, not the truck.

TradeWork is built for the truck. Mobile-first. Jobs, crews, invoices, and payments in one place. Bilingual surfaces so the office, the foreman, and the helper all read the same job without translating it back and forth. An estimate becomes an invoice. An invoice becomes a payment. No extra clicks, no extra tabs.

Why this matters for us: it keeps the tradespeople who build and fix our neighborhoods from losing money to paperwork.
