Booking software for tradies (the BookAndGo tradie edition)
Plumbers, electricians, builders — tradies schedule differently to salons. Here's how BookAndGo handles the on-site model.
The default BookAndGo model is 'client comes to you at a fixed time'. That works for salons, clinics, and studios. Tradies have a different reality: the tradie goes to the client, jobs are half-day blocks, and the tradie isn't always sure how long the job will take.
The tradie mode (roadmap feature, shipping Q3 2026)
We're building a tradie-specific variant of BookAndGo with: travel time between jobs, on-site duration ranges instead of fixed slots, photo uploads on booking, and quote-before-book workflow.
What works today
Plumbers and electricians currently use BookAndGo with a few workarounds: services named 'Half day (morning)' and 'Half day (afternoon)', buffer time set to 30-60 minutes for travel, client notes used for job description.
