    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 get 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 and pay via their portal. Auto-reminders chase overdue payments.

    Key Features

    • Professional Quotes — Branded, itemised quotes with VAT calculations
    • Job Scheduling — Calendar view, team assignment, GPS check-in
    • Smart Invoicing — Auto-generated from jobs, payment tracking, PDF download
    • Customer Portal — Customers accept quotes and pay invoices via a simple link
    • Field View — Mobile-first interface for on-site work
    • Reports — Revenue, expenses, profit & loss, aged debtors

    Verified reviews — the bit that compounds

    Here's the part most tools miss: every completed, paid job in ServicePay can turn into a verified review that publishes to your GotAPal profile and your own website. Because it's tied to a real transaction, and it lifts your ranking so the next customer finds you. It's the one feature that keeps paying you back long after the job is done.
