What we actually built
Not another quoting app
We started where everyone starts — quotes, invoices, getting paid. Then we built the parts nobody else was doing, because a tradesperson’s kit is their business and no software treated it that way.
Your tools on a register
Serial numbers, receipts, purchase price and which van it is in — the things an insurer asks for and nobody has to hand. With a warning before a tester goes out of calibration.
>A tag anyone can scan
QR or NFC on any tool, van, ladder or panel. No app and no login, so a buyer, a site manager or an officer can check it from any phone. Unlimited tags, never charged per tag.
>A break-in becomes paperwork
One crime reference, tick what has gone, and you have the itemised list the officer asks for and the priced schedule the insurer asks for. Ninety seconds, not an evening.
>Certificates that chase themselves
Gas safety records, EICRs, EPCs and alarm checks tracked against the property that needs them — and it tells you what is missing, not just what you hold.
Trades shouldn't pay to send a quote.
Most quoting tools charge subscriptions before you've made a penny. Most card readers cost £50 + monthly fees. Most directories charge per cold lead. We built the opposite.
No lead fees
We don't charge you to hear from a customer.
No hardware cost
Your phone is the card reader. Nothing to buy.
No long contracts
Cancel any time. Your data is yours to export.
GotAPal finds the customer. ServicePay runs the job.
ServicePay is one half of the Towpath Digital trade-and-customer estate. GotAPal is the free directory where customers find you. ServicePay is the paid tool that runs the job. Finish a job in ServicePay and your customer can leave a verified review — tied to real, paid work — which lifts your GotAPal ranking and brings you more free leads. You can use either, both, or neither: they're not bundled, and we never share data between them without your explicit consent.
