How Tradespeople Use ServicePay
Real-world scenarios showing how different trades solve common business problems with one platform.
These are example scenarios based on common trade workflows. As we welcome our first customers, we'll share their real stories here.
Why they moved
The reasons that are not about price
Every platform quotes and invoices. These are the four things that come up when a trade explains why they switched.
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.
Example: Solo Plumber
Many plumbers spend 1-2 hours every evening typing up quotes and chasing payments via text. They often lose track of which customers owe what.

Example: 3-Person Electrical Team
Small electrical teams often double-book jobs using shared Google Calendars. Manual VAT spreadsheets eat hours every quarter.
The old way
- ✗Shared Google Calendar with no job detail
- ✗Invoices in a Word template, emailed as PDF
- ✗Manual VAT spreadsheet every quarter
- ✗No visibility when team members were on-site

Example: Recurring Contracts
Businesses with 30-50 regular customers on monthly contracts often track visits in a paper diary and forget to invoice completed work.
The old way
- ✗Paper diary for 40+ recurring customers
- ✗Forgot to invoice completed visits
- ✗No way to track seasonal revenue trends
- ✗Customers called to rebook instead of self-serve
With ServicePay
- ✓Recurring contracts with auto-scheduling
- ✓Invoices generated automatically per visit
