Melbourne, Australia
What it is
Tradescraft is job-management software for trades businesses, organizing quoting, scheduling, dispatch, safety records, invoicing, and payments around each job. Teams can track enquiries, accept quotes online, manage recurring jobs, use checklists, and connect calendar feeds. An operations map combines jobs, crew locations, and shared GIS overlays. Safety tools support country-aware records, incident reporting, and optional compliance checks before dispatch. Stock tracking, purchase orders, staff and subcontractor management, timesheets, and vehicle compliance cover related operations. Xero can sync sales invoices and reconcile payments, while supplier bills and purchase orders can be pushed from Tradescraft; Xero is unavailable for US accounts. The Core plan costs A$29 per user per month, billed monthly, with unlimited jobs, customers, and sites. A Website add-on is A$29 a month. A free trial is available. Tradescraft runs on Android, iOS, and web, and lists Australia, New Zealand, and the United States as supported markets.
