Your estimator is you. Your scheduler is a whiteboard. Your time tracking is whatever your crew remembers at the end of the week.
Running a trade business means wearing every hat — estimating the job, scheduling the crew, ordering materials, tracking costs, and keeping the client happy. With a small team and tight margins, there's no room for a system that's hard to use or doesn't pay for itself.
TradeTrack is built for trade contractors who need the capabilities of a full project management platform without the complexity of software built for companies ten times their size.
Everything your operation needs. Nothing it doesn't.
Trade businesses use TradeTrack differently than GCs. Here's what the platform looks like from the trade side.
Your crew. Scheduled, clocked, and costed.
The full crew workflow — from assignment to clock-in to labor cost report — without spreadsheets or a separate time clock app.
Schedule the week
Build the crew schedule for the week. Assign each crew member to their job and shift. Copy the previous week forward as a starting point. Post when ready — crew is notified automatically.
Crew clocks in from the field
Crew members clock in and out from their phone via the crew dashboard — a lightweight self-service portal. No app download. No admin intervention for routine clock-ins.
Review and approve
Review time entries at the end of the day or week. Approve correction requests submitted by crew members. Edit entries that need adjusting. Full edit history on every entry.
Labor cost calculated
Every approved hour multiplies against the crew member's labor rate. Labor cost per job is calculated automatically — visible in cost tracking alongside materials and change orders.
Stop estimating in Excel. Start winning more work.
Build section-based estimates with labor and materials. Set your markup and profit margin. Send to clients for one-click approval — no printing, no PDF attachments, no follow-up calls to see if they read it.
Built for trade scopes
Organize estimates by section — rough-in, trim-out, fixtures, permits. Add labor and material line items to each section. Show the client what they need to see. Hide the markup they don't.
Client approval in the portal
Clients receive a link to review and approve your estimate in their browser. One click to approve. No account. No printing. Approved estimate becomes the job's budget baseline.
Feeds the job
Approved estimates connect to the project. As the job runs, actual costs track against the estimate. You know where you stand before the final invoice.
Your GC is on TradeTrack. Here's what that means for you.
When a general contractor links you to their project in TradeTrack, you get scoped access to the project — schedule tasks relevant to your trade, documents shared with you, and automatic notifications when the schedule changes. No phone tag. No chasing the superintendent.
- See the schedule tasks assigned to your trade — updated in real time when the GC posts changes.
- Access documents and drawings the GC has opened to you — no email attachment chains.
- Receive schedule change notifications automatically when a task affecting your scope moves.
- Submit and track change orders through the platform — not a text message.
You only see what the GC has opened to you. Your own jobs, your crew, and your financials are completely separate.
Trade businesses invited by a GC on TradeTrack get 45 days free. If your GC is already using TradeTrack, ask them to invite you.
Know if the job is profitable before it's done.
Trade margins are thin. A job that runs 15% over on labor and 10% over on materials can wipe out the profit on a month of work. TradeTrack shows you where you stand while you can still do something about it.
Labor
Hours logged by your crew multiply against their labor rates automatically. Labor cost per job is always current — not a number you calculate at invoice time.
Materials
Purchase orders track material spend against the job. Committed costs are visible before the invoice arrives. No surprise at job close.
The Full Picture
Budget vs. actual — labor, materials, and change orders — in one view. See the job's cost health at any point in the work. Not just at the end.
B.O.B. is coming. Trade contractors will use it every time they estimate a job.
B.O.B. — Bids, Orders, and Budgets — is TradeTrack's AI assistant in development. Describe a scope of work and get an estimate framework in seconds. The math-heavy part of estimating — handled.
Learn about B.O.B. →Most software is built for the GC. TradeTrack works for the trade business running jobs on its own terms.
Whether you're subbing under a GC or running direct-to-owner jobs, TradeTrack handles the full operation — scheduling, time tracking, estimating, job costing, and client communication. Built by a contractor who has been on both sides of the GC-sub relationship.
