"We used to lose $8–12K a month in missed change orders. That number is basically zero now. SubTrade subcontractor software paid for itself in the first week."
Problems Every Subcontractor Knows — And the Platform That Solves Them
-
A GC approved verbal scope changes — you forgot to write a change order. Now you're eating $4,000.
-
A crew member's timesheet is wrong — again. You spend Friday afternoon playing detective.
-
Your foreman called 3 times today to ask where the drawings are. They're in your email. Somewhere.
-
You finished a job and had no idea if you made money until your accountant told you two months later.
SubTrade subcontractor software was built by subs who lived every one of these problems.
Generic construction tools are built for GCs — not for you. SubTrade subcontractor software is engineered for the unique workflows, billing cycles, and daily chaos of trade contractors. It fits how you already work, not the other way around.

"My foreman was calling me 6 times a day. Now he checks the app. I got my afternoons back. Game changer for a 3-crew HVAC operation."
★★★★★
"Time tracking alone saved us 12 hours of admin a week. Now I actually know if a job is profitable before I send the invoice."
★★★★★
"We run 6 crews across three provinces. Before SubTrade, scheduling was a nightmare of phone calls and spreadsheets. Now I assign shifts in two minutes and everyone knows where to be."
★★★★★
"The daily logs and photo documentation feature has saved us twice in disputes. A time-stamped record of every day on the job is worth more than I can quantify."
★★★★★
"I tried three other apps that didn't stick. SubTrade was set up in a day and my guys were using it by the end of the week. It's actually built for how we work."
