This proactive approach not only enhances safety but also streamlines operations, allowing teams to focus on delivering high-quality results with confidence.

What Industry Leaders
say about us
Hear from the experts who trust Trade-Linked to streamline operations, boost efficiency, and drive success in their industries.
Daniel Morris – Morris Roofing & Restoration
Roofing & Exterior
Refurbishment
We’ve been part of Trade-Linked’s structured beta programme for the past six months, and I have to say – it’s already paid off. I just landed mybiggest roof job to date and the client specifically said that the decision came down to the report that was shared with all the leaseholders. The detail, structure and branding of the custom smart report gave them total confidence. For a small team like mine, being able to present like a Tier 1 contractor is a game-changer.
Claire Reid – Precision Damp & Timber Specialists
Damp Proofing & Timber Treatment
“The beta rollout has been impressively polished. We’ve been testing all core modules – CRM, job tracking, quoting – but what’s been most transformative is the job scheduling and team collaboration. No more WhatsApp chaos or spreadsheet rot. Everything is now in one system, and our admin team loves the offline data sync from site surveys. Trade-Linked has built something that feels truly tailored to our industry – not generic field service software.”
Imran Ali – A1 Gas & Heating
Gas & Heating Engineering
“As a solo trader, I joined the Trade-Linked early access group to improve how I quote and follow up leads. What I didn’t expect was how much I’d rely on the CRM and templated job reporting. My quotes look more professional than ever, and I’m now tracking follow-ups without needing an extra CRM subscription. It’s helped me close more jobs and reduce missed opportunities. Support has been excellent too – very responsive and knowledgeable.”
Sophie Grant – Heritage Plaster & Lime Ltd.
Heritage & Lime Plastering
“We’ve been testing Trade-Linked’s beta for our estimating and reporting workflows. The custom smart form builder is hands-down one of the best tools we’ve used. I can build report templates that reflect the integrity of our heritage work, include optional service lines, and email a polished PDF that clients can digitally sign. It’s saving us hours each week and has elevated how we’re perceived by architects and project managers alike.”
Jake Holloway – Holloway Electrical Services
Domestic & Commercial Electrical
“We were invited into the controlled beta environment with Trade-Linked, and it’s been a brilliant investment of our time. The automated scheduling, real-time job updates, and token-based reporting system are cutting admin by nearly 40%. I especially rate the metrics dashboard – we’re now forecasting revenue and seeing which engineers are generating the most return per hour. It’s built for trades by people who understand trades.”
