Built for the trades, not adapted for them.

Why we built Gaffer

Most trade businesses run on tools that were never designed for them: group chats for dispatch, paper for certificates, a spreadsheet for who owes what. It works — until it doesn't. Jobs slip, quotes go out late, invoices get forgotten, and the owner ends up doing admin every evening instead of growing the business.

Gaffer brings the whole job lifecycle into one place: lead capture, quoting, scheduling, field execution, invoicing and payment collection. Your office sees everything; your field team gets a clean mobile app that works offline; your customers get timely, professional communication automatically.

Who it's for

Electricians, plumbers, heating engineers, tree surgeons and the many trades in between — from sole traders taking on their first employee to established teams running multiple vans. If you quote work, schedule jobs and send invoices, Gaffer is built for you.

What makes it different

Gaffer is API-first and built around specialist Trade Packs — the certificates, forms and compliance workflows each trade actually needs — layered on top of rock-solid core operations. It's not a generic CRM with a trade skin; it's the real thing.
