A calendar that matches site life
A job scheduling app for tradesmen should show more than coloured blocks. You need the client, the job, who is assigned, and enough clarity that a wet Monday does not turn into three crews turning up at the wrong address.
Tradeways gives you a calendar view of work with drag-and-drop rescheduling, so moving a kitchen second fix by two days does not mean rewriting a whiteboard photo in the van.
Assign staff and contractors
Small teams mix employed staff and subcontractors. Tradeways lets you add people within your plan seats and contractor allowances, then assign them to jobs so everyone knows where they should be.
Tier 1 includes 2 staff seats; Tier 2 includes 5. Contractors can be added within plan limits so you are not paying a full seat for every labour-only sub.

Reminders that fire before you forget
Scheduling fails when the plan lives only in your head. Automated reminders and notifications help the crew show up prepared, and help you spot clashes before the client calls to ask why nobody arrived.
Pair scheduling with proposals and invoicing so the week’s work ties back to signed scopes and stage payments — not a separate notebook.
Built for micro builders, not enterprise Gantt charts
We do not pretend to be Procore. Tradeways is for UK micro builders and sole traders who need a calm week view, not a 200-person resource plan. The interface stays readable, with accessibility options such as speech to text and screen tints when admin time is short and noisy.
If you are a kitchen fitter, decorator or roofer, the same calendar works — the job types change, the need for a clear plan does not.
