Your paperwork. Your prices.
Your tool.
One tool. Your whole business — office and field, in real time.
You already have proposals, prices, and a way you run jobs. TradeGOAT ties your whole company together — office and field, connected in real time. Build and send proposals and get the contract signed while you're standing in front of the customer, run the field from a phone, keep every dollar in sync with QuickBooks, and know what every job actually made.
And the first 25 companies keep half price for as long as they stay. A company name and an email is the whole signup — no credit card, ever. Built by a 20-year contractor who runs his own company on it.
The whole loop. One tool.
Six things every service company does. TradeGOAT runs all of them.
True costs in — crew, days, materials, overhead — one honest margin out. No phantom profit.
Your own documents, alive. Real Word files out — your format, your logo, your words.
A pipeline that doesn't forget — nine-month deals keep their place, and signing starts the job.
In hand, owed, and coming — every dollar labeled honestly, synced with QuickBooks.
Time clock, tickets, and receipts — the truck and the office on one system, phone-first.
Bid vs actual while the job runs. Won vs lost builds itself. Know where you make money.
Start with the proposal you already use
Upload your Word or PDF. TradeGOAT reads your scope language, terms, warranty, and payment schedule — and you confirm every fill-in spot against your own words before anything is saved.
- Finished proposals render to real Word documents in your format, with your logo
- A proposal physically can't go out with a blank a customer would see
- Signed proposals freeze forever — changes become change orders
Know what every job is making — while it runs
Most contractors find out what a job made at tax time. The live scorecard shows bid vs actual by cost bucket while you can still steer the margin back into the green.
- Billing milestones per job — your payment split, invoice numbers, collected status per draw
- QuickBooks connected — push invoices, read payments back; the books are the billing truth
- The owner's money view — billed vs collected vs backlog, revealed on tap, gated person by person
The field runs through it now, too
Your techs don't need a manual or a laptop. It installs from the browser like an app and works from the truck.
- NEWGPS time clock — clock in and out on a phone, switch jobs mid-day, punches land on a map
- NEWTimecards that flag themselves — missed punches and overtime surface automatically; payroll hours export in one click
- NEWField receipts — snap it, pick the job, and the job cost updates before the tech leaves the supply house
- NEWTime on the work order — tickets carry the hours; every unit under contract shows its service time
- Your own service ticket digitized — filled on a phone, signed on glass, PDF emails itself
Every job teaches you something — automatically
Won and lost proposals freeze their economics the moment they close. No data entry, no spreadsheet homework — the analysis builds itself from work you already did.
- Won vs lost — margins, price per day, where you win by size and type
- Qualification packet — the questions general contractors ask, printable in one click
- Business overview and customer reports, exportable
How it works
No rebuilding your business inside someone else's app. No starting over. Bring what you already have and we map it.
I have been in the elevator business for over 20 years, and running my own companies for the last seven. And for those seven years, the answer was always the same: spreadsheets, Word docs, and chasing payments that were already owed to me. That's not a business. That's a second job.
TradeGOAT is what I wish existed when I started. Built by a contractor. For contractors.
90 days of Pro, free. And the first 25 keep half price for good.
We hand you the top tier for ninety days because that's long enough to finish a job and find out what it made — which is the whole point of this tool. Every feature, up to 25 users, and we load your documents, customers, and equipment with you. The first 25 companies in keep half price for as long as they stay. A company name and an email is the entire signup — we don't ask for a credit card, because we don't need one to earn this. Want to look first? Drive the demo — no signup.
We review every signup and onboard you personally — real businesses, real attention, no spam.
