The problem

Your business shouldn’t live across scattered chats, notes and paperwork.

Most tradespeople run their business between jobs, on the phone, from the van. It works — until something slips.

  • Job details buried in WhatsAppAddresses, prices and what was agreed, lost somewhere in a long chat.
  • Customer details all over the placeSome in your phone, some in a notebook, some in your head.
  • Invoices done separately, or forgottenWritten up late at night, or left until the customer has moved on.
  • Follow-ups that rely on memoryA quote you meant to send. A call you meant to return.
  • Records that are hard to pull togetherWhen you need to find something, it takes far longer than it should.

TradePilot puts it in one place, without asking you to change how you work.

WhatsApp and messaging

How TradePilot uses WhatsApp.

WhatsApp is one of the ways tradespeople and their customers can use TradePilot. Here is what that means in practice.

What messages are for

  • Tradespeople may receive messages connected to their own TradePilot activity, such as jobs, quotes and customer requests.
  • Messages relate to using TradePilot. TradePilot does not use WhatsApp for unsolicited bulk or marketing messages.

Your choice and consent

  • Conversations start when you choose to contact TradePilot, for example by sending a quote request, or when you use TradePilot for your business.
  • To stop receiving messages, or for help with messaging, email support@develop.ie and we will act on your request.
  • You can also block or mute the TradePilot number in WhatsApp at any time.
