Built for South African Tradespeople
Tradekit exists to give independent tradespeople and small trade businesses the same operational tools that large companies have — without the complexity or cost.
Running a trade business shouldn't mean drowning in admin
Tradespeople across South Africa lose hours every week to manual quoting, invoicing, scheduling, and chasing payments. Instead of focusing on the work they're skilled at, they're buried in spreadsheets, notebooks, and endless phone calls.
Customers expect instant communication — a quick reply on WhatsApp, a professional quote within the hour, a clear invoice after the job. But most trade businesses are still juggling phone calls, handwritten notes, and bank statements to keep track of it all.
Existing field service management software is built for large enterprises with dedicated IT teams and deep pockets. It's too complex, too expensive, and designed for the wrong market. South African tradespeople deserve tools built specifically for them.
WhatsApp-native from day one
We built Tradekit around WhatsApp because that's where South African tradespeople and their customers already communicate. No new apps for your customers to download, no portals to log into — just quotes, invoices, and job updates delivered straight to WhatsApp.
The web dashboard gives business owners a single place to manage everything: customers, jobs, quotes, invoices, team schedules, and WhatsApp conversations. The mobile app gives field technicians everything they need on-site, including offline support for areas with poor connectivity.
And we've kept it affordable. Plans start at R299 per month with a 14-day free trial — no credit card required. Because enterprise-grade tools shouldn't require an enterprise budget.
