Plumbing’s a tough gig. You’re juggling emergency callouts, quoting on the fly, wrangling a team, and still trying to get invoices out the door before dinner. The last thing you need is to be buried in paperwork or stuck using clunky software that wasn’t built for tradies.
That’s where iTrade comes in, a job management software for plumbers that’s made to handle the chaos of your day-to-day and keep your business ticking along.
What Plumbers Need From Business Management Software
Generic software doesn’t cut it when you’re running a plumbing business. You’ve got specific challenges that need specific solutions, like:
Urgent and reactive work that throws the whole schedule out.
Preventative maintenance jobs and recurring service plans.
Team coordination across multiple sites and subcontractors.
Job compliance, safety forms, and certification requirements.
Quoting and invoicing that needs to happen fast, on-site.
Stock and material tracking, so you’re not losing money on parts.
That’s why the best business management software for plumbers has to do more than just look good in an office. It has to work on the go, be simple to use, and save you time. So, what type of software for plumbers should you invest in?
On paper, using a bunch of free or cheap tools to manage your jobs might seem like a smart move. But in reality, running your business across multiple platforms makes things harder, not easier.
How iTrade Delivers the Best Job Management Software for Plumbers
Adding iTrade to your business adds a whole toolkit of problem-solving time-savers. It was built with tradies in mind, and for plumbers in particular, it ticks all the boxes. Here’s how iTrade can help your plumbing business:
Smarter Scheduling for a Smoother Day
iTrade's schedule tool makes it easy to shuffle jobs, assign techs, and slot in emergency callouts without breaking a sweat.
The drag-and-drop calendar gives you a bird’s eye view of your team’s day, week, or month, so you can plan preventative maintenance, installations, and urgent repairs without missing a beat.
And when things change (because they always do), live updates mean your team’s never out of the loop.
Quote Faster, Win More Work
In plumbing, speed matters, especially when it comes to quoting. iTrade helps you knock out accurate quotes on-site.
Build quotes from pre-loaded templates or item libraries, adjust pricing on the spot, and send them to the customer before you’ve even left the driveway. When they give you the green light, you can turn that quote into a live job with one tap.
Invoicing That Doesn’t Slow You Down
Late or forgotten invoices = lost revenue. With iTrade, invoicing becomes part of the job flow, not an afterthought.
Once the job’s done, convert it into an invoice instantly, including any added labour or materials that weren’t originally quoted.
Then sync it all with your accounting system (Xero, MYOB, QuickBooks) and let the money come in.
Compliance and Certification, Covered
Plumbing is a licensed trade for a reason: safety and compliance matter. iTrade’s trade certificate feature helps you build, fill out, and store all your compliance documents. Whether it’s a gas safety certificate, a pressure test log, or a site-specific safety plan, iTrade lets you attach it directly to the job, track completion, and share it with the customer or inspector in just a few taps.
Track Your Gear and Bill Every Item
How often have you used parts on a job and forgotten to bill them? With iTrade, you can add materials and consumables to each job as they’re used, directly from the field. That includes anything from tap washers and flexi hoses to lengths of copper or drain coil. Every item gets tracked, reducing write-offs and boosting profitability. All material costs roll into your quoting and invoicing automatically, so there’s no chance of missing a billable item again
