Seven things we've shipped this month, built straight from what UK tradespeople told us was slowing them down. Four more on the way.
Available now in your VioTrade dashboard and mobile app.
Stop being the nag. When an invoice goes past its due date, VioTrade sends the customer a polite reminder automatically. You get paid faster without lifting a finger. Toggle it off per-invoice if you want to chase manually.
Connect your bank via Stripe and your customers can pay invoices online by card. Money lands in your account the next working day. No more 'waiting for the bank transfer' excuses.
Upload your logo once in Business Profile and it appears on every quote, invoice, and RAMS document automatically. Looks professional without the design faff.
Toggle between VAT-inclusive and VAT-exclusive prices on every quote and invoice. Match how you actually price work, line by line. Multi-rate too: 20%, 5%, 0%.
Add optional add-ons the customer can tick or untick themselves. 'Choose one' groups for boiler models or finish levels. Deposits before work starts. Materials at cost plus mark-up. The way you actually price work, not a one-line total.
Every quote or invoice you send to a customer can now CC your own email automatically. Set a default in Business Profile, override per-send with a tickbox. Useful for record-keeping or if your accountant likes a copy.
When you log an expense or scan a receipt, you can now attach it to a specific job. Profitability per job becomes a real number, not a guess.
Honest preview of what we're building right now. Order may shuffle if something else jumps the queue, but these are the next big ones.
Turn a rough scope into a structured estimate before you build the full quote. Add labour day rates, material categories, contingency, and convert it into a proper quote with one click.
Two-way sync with Xero. Invoices and expenses flow straight to your accountant. No more end-of-quarter CSV exports.
Service contracts, monthly retainers, scheduled maintenance work. Set the schedule once, VioTrade raises and sends each invoice on the right day.
Clock in / clock out, timesheets, location tracking. Built for sole traders growing into a small crew - know who is on which job and how long it actually took.
