TRADESPEOPLE INVOICING

Simple Invoicing for Tradespeople

Create professional invoices on your phone after every job. Add labour, materials, mileage and VAT — then send the invoice before you leave the customer's driveway.

Tradespeople lose hours to evening admin

You are a plumber, an electrician, a builder, a cleaner or a gardener. You spend your days on the tools, driving between jobs. By the time you get home, the last thing you want to do is sit down and create invoices for the day's work. So you put it off — and by the end of the week, you have a stack of jobs to invoice and you cannot remember the details.

The problem is not just the time. It is the detail. You drove 30 miles between jobs — can you charge for that? You bought materials at the builders' merchant — do you have the receipt? The customer asked for a quote last week — did you write it down?

Most invoicing tools do not help with this. They create a document, but they do not connect the invoice to the mileage, the materials or the quote. You end up with invoices that are missing information and customers who query the total.

Invoicing built for the way tradespeople work

MileageCalendar is built for mobile tradespeople. You finish a job, open the app on your phone, and create an invoice in two minutes. You add your labour as a line item, add the materials from your scanned receipts, and the mileage from your calendar appointment is already attached. You apply VAT, see the total, and send the invoice by email before you drive to the next job.

If you quoted for the job, the quote converts into the invoice with one click — all the line items and pricing carry over. If the customer asks what they are being charged for, every line is clear: labour, materials, mileage, VAT. No confusion, no queries, no delayed payment.

And because everything is saved in the app, you have a complete record of every job, every invoice and every payment — ready for your accountant or Self Assessment at the end of the year.
