The full VioTrade workflow

How VioTrade Works - From Lead to Paid

VioTrade replaces the paper, WhatsApp, spreadsheets and end-of-month catch-up that most UK tradespeople run on. Here is what the day-to-day actually looks like - from the moment a customer first calls, to the moment Xero is up to date.

01

Capture the lead

A customer calls, emails, or fills in the form on your VioTrade-built website. The lead lands in your CRM with their contact details, the job they want, and where they heard about you - so nothing slips through the cracks.

02

Send a professional quote in 30 seconds

Describe the job in plain English and AI drafts the line items from your saved product catalogue. Add optional add-ons the customer can tick, set a deposit percentage, and email the quote with a single tap. Customers see a clean PDF and can accept online.

03

Win the job and the deposit

When the customer accepts, a job is created automatically and (if you've set a deposit) a deposit invoice is emailed straight away. Cash starts moving before you even leave the driveway.

04

Schedule the work

Drop the job into your calendar, assign team members, set reminders. Everyone on your team sees their schedule on their phone. No more "where am I meant to be?" texts.

05

Order materials with linked POs

Send a branded purchase order to your supplier from the van. The PO is linked to the job, so the material cost is locked into your job profit calculation the moment you order. No more end-of-month surprises.

06

Do the job, capture costs on site

Photograph receipts as you buy materials - AI reads the VAT, the supplier, the total, and logs the expense against the right job. Use the voice assistant ("Hey Zoro, log a £45 expense for cement") to keep your hands free.

07

Convert the quote to an invoice

When the job is done, tap once to convert the accepted quote into a final invoice. Any deposit already paid is netted off automatically. Email the invoice to the customer with a Pay Now button.

08

Get paid online

Customers pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay in seconds. Money lands in your UK bank account the next business day. Stripe handles the processing, the invoice marks itself as paid in VioTrade and the customer gets an automatic receipt.

09

Everything syncs to Xero

Every invoice, payment, customer, expense and supplier bill flows through to Xero automatically with the right UK tax codes. Your accountant gets clean data. You stop spending Sunday evenings on bookkeeping.
