Many tradies start with Excel or Google Sheets. They work until you need customer approvals, consistent documents and payment records across dozens of jobs. ProperTradie sits before accounting software — helping you keep the job admin tidy.
Where spreadsheets fall short
Version control is painful. Customers cannot approve a spreadsheet link with a digital signature. Converting a quote row into an invoice means copy-paste. Payment tracking lives in a separate tab — if you maintain it at all.
What ProperTradie adds
Structured quotes with line items, public approval links, one-step quote-to-invoice conversion, and payment status on every invoice. Built for tradies who quote regularly.
When a spreadsheet is still fine
Early-stage side work with a handful of jobs per year might not need dedicated software yet. Once you are chasing approvals and juggling unpaid invoices, a purpose-built workflow saves hours.
