What's New

The latest features, improvements, and updates to SubTrade β€” built to make your subcontracting business run smoother.

Project Templates & Kanban Board β€” Supercharged

March 29, 2026 New Feature

Two major feature drops in this update β€” reusable project templates to eliminate repetitive setup, and a completely overhauled Kanban board with the power and flexibility your crew actually needs.

Project Templates

Stop setting up the same project from scratch every time. Create unlimited project templates and reuse them across every new job β€” tasks, team, folders, and Kanban columns all ready to go in one click.

  • Pre-Assigned Tasks: Create task templates with names, descriptions, priorities, and assignees. Every new project starts with your full task list β€” ready to go.
  • Pre-Assigned Team: Set default team members per template. When you create a project, your crew is already assigned β€” no manual adding one by one.
  • Drawing Folders: Pre-build your folder structure (ARCH, STRUCT, MECH, etc.) so every new project has organized drawing folders from day one.
  • Pre-Assigned Kanban Columns: Template your Kanban columns for Tasks, RFIs, Change Orders, and Purchase Orders. Your workflow is locked in before you start.
Kanban Board β€” Supercharged

The task board you already use just got a massive upgrade. More power, more flexibility, same drag-and-drop simplicity.

  • Unlimited Custom Columns: Create as many Kanban columns as your workflow needs β€” Not Started, In Progress, Ready for Review, Inspection, Punch List, or anything else. No limits.
  • Drag-and-Drop Between Columns: Move tasks between status columns with a simple drag. Your whole team sees the update instantly on desktop and mobile.
  • Subtasks & Punch Lists: Break complex tasks into subtasks. Create punch list items as a separate type for clean deficiency and close-out tracking.
  • Attach Drawings, Photos & Notes: Attach construction drawings, annotated markups, job site photos, and rich-text notes directly to any task. Full visual context.
  • Custom Notifications & Shift Assignment: Set per-task reminders (days before + exact time). Create or assign crew shifts directly within a task.
  • Activity Feed & Comments: Every task has a comment thread with file attachments. Stop losing context in text messages β€” keep everything on the task.
