For plumbers
Scheduling and dispatch for plumbing crews.
How it fits
A plumbing day in TradePath HQ
01
A call comes in
Create the job and use "Find a time" to see up to three bookable slots, weighed by who is free, who has the skills the job needs, and roughly how far they would drive.
02
The day changes
Move a visit to another plumber from the dispatch board. Double-bookings and time off are flagged before you commit.
03
On site
The plumber has the address, gate code and notes on their phone, takes photos, and works through the checklist you set.
04
Bill it
Send the customer a quote for the bigger fix to approve from their phone, or invoice the job and let them pay by card from the link.
What plumbers use most
Scheduling and dispatch
A dispatch board with a lane for each worker, conflict warnings, and a map of the day.
- A one-day dispatch board with a lane for every worker and an Unassigned lane for work nobody has yet.
- Double-bookings and time off are flagged before you commit. You can still book anyway when you mean to.
- A two-week "needs a person" list surfaces unassigned visits and visits whose assigned worker has time off.
Crew app in the phone’s browser
Each worker’s day on their phone, with one clear next step per visit. Nothing to install.
- Each worker sees their own visits for the day, in order.
- One button moves a visit along: start driving, arrived, complete. Each press is time-stamped and, when the phone shares its location, records where the worker was.
- "Start driving" opens directions in the phone’s maps app and, if the customer has an email address on file, emails them a link to follow the visit.
Quotes, invoices and payments
Quotes customers approve online, invoices they pay by card, and a clear view of what is owed.
- Quotes are emailed with a link. When a customer approves, the job is created with the same lines.
- Invoices are raised from the job and emailed with a secure link where the customer can view the bill and, once you connect Stripe, pay by card.
- Card payments go to your own Stripe account. Cash, check and bank transfers are recorded by hand.
Inventory and truck stock
Professional and VelocityStock in the warehouse and on every truck, parts used on jobs, and truck restocking.
- Stock levels by warehouse and by truck.
- Record deliveries, moves between locations, shelf counts and corrections. Every change is kept in the history.
- Crew record parts used on a visit, including by scanning a barcode, and the parts go onto the job.
Can I send a quote the customer approves from their phone?
Yes. Quotes are emailed with a secure link. When the customer approves, the job is created with the same line items.
Can I make sure only qualified plumbers are booked on certain jobs?
Job types can list required skills, and "Find a time" ranks workers who have them first. It suggests; it does not block a booking.
Can I track parts on the truck?
On the Professional and Velocity plans, inventory tracks stock in the warehouse and on each truck, and parts used on a visit go onto the job.
Does my crew need to install an app?
No. The crew app runs in the phone’s web browser. Each worker signs in and sees their own visits for the day.
