Run your trade business from your phone, not a filing cabinet.
Estimates, invoicing, and real inventory tracking — built for a business of one, not a fleet of twenty. Quote a job, get approved from a text, and always know what’s actually on your truck.
Illustration: a phone showing Estimate number 1042 for a leak repair and two copper fittings, with Approve Estimate and Decline buttons. The job and prices are made up.

How a job runs
Quote it. Get approved. Do the work. Get paid.
The whole job, from one phone, without a spreadsheet in sight.
Quote it
Build an estimate on site and attach photos so there’s never a question about what you’re quoting.
Get approved
Send a link by text or email. Your customer taps approve or decline. No account required.
Do the work
Parts you use come off your truck stock automatically when a job’s done.
Get paid
Turn the finished job into a numbered invoice in one tap, with online card payment built in.
What’s inside
Everything you need. Nothing you don’t.
No features built for a team you don’t have. Just the tools that get you from “quoted it” to “got paid.”
Estimates Customers Actually Approve
Send a link by text or email — your customer taps approve or decline, no account required. Attach site photos so there’s never a question about what you’re quoting.

Real Inventory, Not a Spreadsheet
Track what’s actually on your truck with quantity-on-hand and reorder alerts. Parts deduct automatically when a job’s done — most software this size doesn’t do this at all.
Invoicing That Gets You Paid
Turn a completed job into a professional invoice in one tap, with online card payment built in. Numbered, sequential, and ready to send.
Built to Run From Your Phone
Snap job-site photos straight from your camera. Add it to your home screen and it opens like an app — no app store, no wait.

Competitor pricing and features reflect publicly published information at time of writing and can change — worth a quick check before quoting a customer a comparison.
Lawn & landscape
Built for lawn and landscape work, too.
Set up the weekly route once, move it around when the weather turns, and keep customers in the loop.
Recurring Visits, Set Once
Put a customer on a schedule once: every week, or every N weeks. Set how often by season, so a property can be weekly while the grass is growing and less often the rest of the year. The visits show up on your schedule on their own.
Every week or every N weeksFrequency by season
Crews and a Schedule You Can Drag
Set up your crews, then drag visits between days and crews to plan the week.
Route Order and a Map of Your Jobs
Put the day’s stops in a sensible driving order with one tap, based on the distance between them. See your jobs on a map before you load the truck.
Rain Day, Handled
When the weather turns, move a day’s visits to another day, or shift everyone down a day. Customers whose visit moved get a rain-delay email, and your usual schedule carries on as before.
Move one dayShift everyone down a dayRain-delay email to affected customers
On My Way and Visit Done
Customers get a note when you’re on the way and another when the visit is done, with photos of the finished work. Notices go by email today, and by text if your business has its own texting number.
Property Details and Easy Import
Keep the details that matter on each property, and bring your customers in from a CSV export of your old software instead of retyping them.
Landscape Calculators
Work out mulch, soil, and gravel, pavers, retaining walls, sod and seed, and fertilizer, then add the result to an estimate with one tap.
Pricing
One plan. One price. No surprises.
No per-seat pricing, no feature-gated tiers, no add-on tax.
Simpli Trades Pro
$39/month
The only solo-priced plan with real inventory tracking built in.
“I built Simpli Trades Pro because every piece of software I looked at was priced and designed for a company with a dispatcher and a fleet — not a guy with a truck and a phone. This is the tool I wanted for myself: quote it, get approved, do the work, get paid. If something’s missing that you need, tell me — I’m still building this, and I read every message.”

Questions
Plain answers.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No — start your trial without one. You’ll only be asked for billing details if you decide to continue.
What trades is this built for?
General handymen and small multi-trade contractors — plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and carpentry all fit well, and lawn and landscape businesses have their own tools. If you carry parts and quote jobs, it’s a fit.
Can I actually track parts and materials?
Yes — add parts to your inventory with quantity on hand and a reorder point. When you use a part on a job, stock decrements automatically.
Does it work for lawn care and landscaping?
Yes. You can set up recurring visits, schedule crews, plan the day’s route, move a rainy day, and tell customers you’re on the way. There are also calculators for mulch, soil, gravel, pavers, retaining walls, sod and seed, and fertilizer, so you can add materials straight to an estimate.
Can I bring my customers over from my old software?
Yes. If your old software can export your customers as a CSV file, you can import them, along with their property details, instead of typing them in again.
Do my customers need to create an account to approve an estimate?
No. They get a link, they tap approve or decline — no login, no app to download.
Is there a contract?
No. It’s month-to-month, and you can cancel anytime from your account settings.
