    What is ServicePay?

    ServicePay is the all-in-one business management platform designed specifically for UK tradespeople. Whether you're a plumber, electrician, builder, or any other trade professional, ServicePay helps you quote, schedule, invoice and keep track of who has paid, all from one place.

    The Quote → Job → Invoice Workflow

    The core of ServicePay is a simple three-step workflow that mirrors how tradespeople actually work:

    1. Create a Quote — Add line items with descriptions, quantities, and prices. VAT is calculated automatically. Send it to your customer via their personal portal link.
    2. Track the Job — When your customer accepts the quote, convert it to a job with one click. Schedule it, assign team members, and track progress from site.
    3. Get Paid — Generate a professional invoice from the completed job. Your customer can view it in their portal and pay you directly using your payment details. A one-tap reminder nudges overdue invoices.

    Key Features

    • Professional Quotes — Branded, itemised quotes with VAT calculations
    • Job Scheduling — Calendar view, team assignment, GPS check-in
