The problems

Six things stealing
your time and profit.

For rural Irish SMEs — contractors, service providers, small teams — admin overhead is a hidden profit killer.

What we solve

The six problems holding you back.

For contractors and service businesses across Ireland, hours disappear into invoicing, paperwork, and chasing data that should organize itself. Here's what it costs you:

01

You're spending €2,000–3,000 per year on invoicing alone.

15–25 hours per month on dockets, invoices, and chasing paperwork. That's billable time you're giving away for free. On €40/hour, that's €600–1000 per month wasted.

€2,000–3,000/year

02

WhatsApp, notebooks, and three different spreadsheets — you can't see your actual profit.

When your job data is scattered across WhatsApp, email, and scraps of paper, you can't answer basic questions: Which clients make money? Are you pricing jobs correctly? What were materials vs. labour last month?

70% of Irish tradies face this

03

You're likely underpricing by 10–15% because you can't see your margins.

Without job profitability data, you estimate pricing based on gut feeling. Most contractors discover (too late) they've miscalculated labour costs, material waste, or call-out time. That 10–15% margin gap is €3,000–5,000 per year lost.

€3,000–5,000/year margin loss

04

No way to plan or improve

You don't know your seasonal patterns, cost trends, or which services are most profitable. Every month feels like starting from scratch.

05

Everything requires manual work

Job notes → docket → invoice → client records. Each step is manual typing and copying. Errors slip through. Time gets wasted.

06

You're burnt out managing chaos

You got into your trade because you're good at it. Now too much of your day goes to admin instead of the work you love.

We build systems that fix this.
