For Trades
Calm control for the people who built it.
Builders, plumbers, electricians, roofers, landscapers — running a trades business is brutal admin wrapped around hard physical work. BizDash takes the admin off your evenings.
What it feels like today
Quotes scribbled on the van dashboard
Half your week disappears writing quotes between jobs — and the ones you forget to send cost you the work.
Invoices paid 47 days late
You finished the job in March. The money lands in May. Meanwhile materials, wages and the van still need paying.
No idea which jobs actually made money
The big extension felt profitable. Was it? Or did the small bathroom you rushed through actually carry the month?
Materials prices moving every week
Timber up 12%, copper up 9%. Your fixed-price quote from six weeks ago is quietly bleeding margin.
What BizDash changes
Job-level profitability
Every quote, every job, every callback — tracked against real cost. You see the £/hour you actually earned, not the one you hoped for.
Cash flow you can trust
Know exactly what's owed, what's overdue, and what's safe to spend this week. Automatic chasers do the awkward part for you.
Local benchmarks
How does your day rate, win rate and margin compare to other trades in your area? No more guessing what 'normal' looks like.
AI advice between jobs
Ask: 'Can I afford a second van?' or 'Should I take on an apprentice?' Get an answer based on your real numbers — included with Serviced.
In the wild
Mara — Electrical contractor, 4-person crew
"I knew the small jobs were eating us alive. BizDash showed me by how much in a week. We repriced callouts and stopped quoting flat-rate on rewires."

"The AI nudged me to drop two unprofitable customers and chase three quotes I'd forgotten. Paid for the year in a fortnight."

Questions for your sector
- What's actually painful about running a trades business?
- Three things, every week: quoting in the gaps between jobs, chasing invoices that should have been paid weeks ago, and never quite knowing which jobs made money once materials, labour and callbacks are counted.
- What data does BizDash need to be useful?
- Just your invoices, expenses and a rough job list — usually pulled from your accounting software (Xero, QuickBooks, FreeAgent) or uploaded as a CSV. We don't need timesheets, payroll exports or a full ERP migration to get going.
- Self-Service or Serviced — which one fits a trades business?
- If you're a sole trader or a small crew comfortable with numbers, Self-Service (€250/yr) is plenty. If you're scaling — hiring, buying vans, taking on bigger contracts — Serviced (€499/yr) adds the AI consultant and local benchmarks that pay for themselves on a single pricing decision.

Get your evenings back.
Self-Service gets the dashboard live on your van and laptop. Serviced adds an AI consultant that knows your numbers — perfect when weighing up a second van or your first hire.
