Booking software

Booking Software built for trades

Let customers book online 24/7, collect deposits upfront, and fill your schedule without playing phone tag. Booking software designed for plumbers, electricians, HVAC, landscapers, and every field service trade.

No credit card · 10-minute setup · Cancel any time

If you run a trade or field service business, the fastest way to lose a job is making a customer wait. They text, you miss it, they call the next guy. Booking software fixes that: your customers pick a service and a time from any phone, pay a deposit, and the job is on your calendar before you finish your coffee.

HiredTrade is booking software built specifically for the trades. It handles real-time availability so customers can only book slots you can actually keep. It collects a Stripe deposit at booking so no-shows become rare. And it syncs the whole crew to one live calendar so nobody double-books a Saturday.

Unlike generic appointment schedulers, HiredTrade understands how trade jobs actually work: travel time between stops, crew assignments, deposits, reminders, payroll, and invoicing all in one platform. You stop paying for five tools and start running the whole operation from one.
