Most tradespeople didn't go into business to spend their evenings doing admin. But without a proper system, quotes get forgotten, invoices pile up, and cash flow suffers.
PaperTrail gives plumbers, electricians, locksmiths, and other tradespeople a simple system to manage jobs from the first enquiry through to final payment - all from your phone.
See all your jobs in one place - from initial quote to final invoice. Each job has its own record with customer details, notes, photos, and materials used.
Your entire team sees the same information in real time, so nothing slips through the cracks.
Generate professional invoices from your job data with a single click. No more end-of-month admin sessions trying to remember what work you did three weeks ago.
Invoice as you complete each job, send payment links so clients can pay by card immediately, and watch your cash flow improve.

Whether you're on site, in the van, or back in the office managing jobs - PaperTrail fits around your workflow, not the other way around.
Create professional quotes on site with your saved materials, labour rates, and markup. Send directly to the client by email or SMS. Clients can accept quotes online, and the job is automatically created in your system.
Drag and drop jobs onto your calendar. Set travel time, allocate team members, and view your week at a glance. If a job overruns, reschedule the rest of your day with a few taps.
Snap before-and-after photos on site and attach them to the job. Use them as evidence for insurance claims, client sign-off, and marketing your work on social media.
Automatically send clients an SMS when you're on the way, when the job is done, or when their invoice is ready. Professional communication that builds trust without taking up your time.
Log materials and expenses per job as you go. See your true profit margins on every job and never forget to bill for materials again. Export expense reports for your accountant at tax time.
Send payment links with your invoices so clients can pay by card instantly. No chasing, no waiting for bank transfers. Get paid on the day the job is done, not weeks later.
PaperTrail prompts you to invoice as soon as a job is marked complete, and can generate the invoice automatically based on the quote and any additional work recorded.
Online payment links let clients pay by card immediately. Most tradespeople using PaperTrail see payment within 48 hours of invoicing.
Automatic SMS reminders before each appointment give clients the chance to confirm or reschedule. Fewer no-shows means more billable hours in your day.
PaperTrail lets you handle admin in real time - quote on site, invoice on completion, and track expenses as they happen. No more batching everything at month end.
PaperTrail is designed to be simple enough that you can start using it on your very first day.
