every trade one platform — plus the GC roll-up over all of them

HVACElectricalPlumbingGeneral Contracting

Why you actually switch

Photo-to-quote? Everyone’s adding that now. This is the part they don’t do.

Their estimator prints a price from a photo — and hands you the rest. Run Your Trades keeps going: it builds the actual work, and carries it all the way to the books. That’s the switch.

Most field-service toolsRun Your Trades
Photo → materialsA photo estimator prints a price. You still build the materials list and order it by hand.The photo becomes a priced supply list, ready to order — even brands no catalog carries — that flows straight into the quote.
Start to finishA pile of point tools. You re-key between the estimate, the field, and the invoice.One connected thread — photo to supply list to invoice — that reconciles in QuickBooks. Nothing done twice.
PermitsStore a permit as a file, if that. You still figure out how to pull one yourself.Researches the real permit process per address and trade — portal, form, or counter — with the links and fees.
Your tradesBuilt for one trade. Run two and you’re duct-taping tools together and re-keying between them.Built for one or more trades— HVAC, electrical, plumbing — with a GC roll-up over all of them.
The daily workA generic job list. The real workflow still lives on paper and in spreadsheets.Memberships, backstock, equipment readings, EPA refrigerant logs — your trade’s paper flow, in the app.
InsightReports you have to go dig through — if you find the time.AI that reads your own jobs and tells you how the business is doing and where to tighten up.

See it in the product

AI assisted workflow not a chatbot just the job.

RunYourTrades reads a photo, hears your dictation, and build the supply list — the part other tools leave for you to do by hand, then generates the quote, builds the invoice, and carries it to the books.

01

A photo becomes your supply list — not just a quote.

You’ve seen photo-to-quote, but their estimator's just prints a price. With Run Your Trades take pictures of the panel, the unit, the scope of work, and then software the drafts and prices the real supply list — even brands no catalog carries, at what your shop actually pays — ready to order, and it flows into the quote, the job, and the invoice. Our dictation tool allows you to capture the full scope of work on every job.

Clarity, not a data-entry chore

The whole operation on one screen — with the AI pointing at what matters.

Not a dashboard full of noise. Run Your Trades surfaces the jobs that need attention, the money that’s ready to invoice, and the follow-ups about to slip — so you act and win more jobs.

  • It flags what needs doingOverdue, unpriced, ready-to-bill — surfaced, not buried in a report.
  • Office and field, one platformEveryone works from the same live information.
  • Nothing falls throughThe follow-ups and hand-offs that used to live in someone’s memory now all in one place.

Everything you’d expect is here too — quoting, scheduling, invoicing, customers, the calendar, appointment reminders. We aim to give you everything you'll need to RunYourTrades.

RunYourTrades at a glance

Field service software built around how trade businesses actually run.

These are the core facts behind the platform — who it is for, what it tracks, and how it connects the field, office, customer history, money, and recurring work.

01

Solo operator to larger crew

Built for one-person contractors, growing teams, and larger companies. Standard plans cover teams through 20 people, with custom pricing for crews of 21 or more.

02

One complete feature set

Plans start at $129/month for solo contractors and run to $449/month for 11–20 people. The standard feature set is included from the start instead of being unlocked behind higher tiers.

03

First call to paid invoice

Track the full job lifecycle: scheduling, technicians and hours, field notes and photos, estimates, quotes, materials, purchase orders, invoices, payment status, and the archived job record.

04

Customer and property memory

Keep customer profiles, job history, maintenance logs, equipment information, property history, photos, typed notes, and voice notes together so repeat visits start with context.

05

Field and office in sync

Technicians can upload job photos while online and the office can see them in real time. Multiple people can work from the same job record instead of passing paper back and forth.

06

Voice-first field capture

Use voice dictation to record the scope of work while you are on site and help turn those notes into the parts and materials needed for the quote.

07

Money and attention in view

The dashboard surfaces open jobs, pipeline activity, overdue invoices, expected payments, quick stats, month-to-date earnings and profit. AI analysis can also help point out jobs that need attention.

08

Built for recurring business

Archived jobs, maintenance history, equipment records, reminders, and customer/property profiles make repeat work easier to pick up without rebuilding the story from scratch.

09

Trade-specific records instead of generic job notes

HVAC: refrigerant levels and recurring maintenance memberships. Electrical: panel records and wiring information. Plumbing: piping and property information.  General contractors: multiple trades and the full project scope in one place.

10

Digital first, printable when needed

Replace paper job folders with searchable job archives while keeping the option to export job records as PDFs for printing and storage.

11

Fast start, no long-term contract

Use the guided setup to get running in under 15 minutes, start with a 14-day free trial, and use the built-in walkthrough tutorial without a long-term commitment.

12

Person-to-person support

Support is handled person to person. Send a support request and the RunYourTrades team can schedule time to work through the problem with you directly.

Built by listening first

“The best software doesn’t ask contractors to change how they think. It quietly removes the work that never should have taken their evening. We aim to save you time for the things that matter most.”

That belief guides every part of Run Your Trades.

Pricing

Same platform for every trade. You just pay for your size.

Every feature is open to every business — a one-person shop gets exactly what a twenty-person crew gets. No price gating, no “upgrade to unlock", no penalizing the small operator. You only pay for how many people are on your team.

Coverage note: this map is designed to be a broad, contractor-focused national finder. Automated discovery searches public event pages and reputable event calendars, then links each result back to its source. No public index can guarantee literally every private, invite-only, newly announced, or poorly indexed show, so the weekly refresh is best treated as comprehensive discovery rather than an absolute registry.
