Questions

What general contractors ask before switching

Can I run payroll for my crew from their hours?

Tradesman tracks clocked hours with overtime rules you set, and builds payroll for each pay period from those entries.

Can subcontractors or office staff use it too?

You can invite team members with their own accounts and give them only the permissions they need.

How much does Tradesman cost?

Tradesman is in early access and costs less than the big field service apps. Every account gets every feature, and you can start without a credit card.

Can I move my customers over from another app?

Yes. Import customers from a CSV file, or bring your data over from Housecall Pro, Jobber, ServiceTitan, FieldEdge and more.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. Tradesman runs on iPhone, Android and any web browser, so the office and the field see the same jobs.

Run your contracting business from one place.

Setup takes about five minutes, and you can start without a credit card.
