We believe invoicing shouldn't be a second job.
TradeTime was born from a simple observation: the people who are best at their trade often struggle most with paperwork. We're here to fix that.
Our Story
The Problem
We saw the struggle
Talking to electricians, plumbers, and builders, we kept hearing the same thing: 'I hate doing invoices.' Word templates, spreadsheets, handwritten notes—everyone had a system, and everyone hated it.
The Insight
Existing tools weren't built for trades
QuickBooks? Too complicated. Generic invoice apps? Missing Irish VAT rates. Desktop software? Can't use it from the van. The tools existed, but none were designed for how tradespeople actually work.
The Solution
We built TradeTime
A mobile-first invoicing app with Irish VAT built in. No accounting degree required. Create an invoice in under a minute, send it before you leave the job site.
Today
Helping Irish tradespeople get paid
Hundreds of electricians, plumbers, builders, and carpenters across Ireland use TradeTime to invoice faster and look more professional. And we're just getting started.
Our Mission
"To give every Irish tradesperson the tools to look professional and get paid faster—without the complexity of traditional business software."
What we believe
These principles guide everything we build.
Simple beats complex
We believe invoicing should take seconds, not hours. Every feature we add must make things simpler, not more complicated.
Built for trades, not accountants
We're not trying to be QuickBooks. We're building the best invoicing tool specifically for tradespeople.
Respect your time
You've already done a full day's work. Your invoicing tool shouldn't feel like a second job.
Your data, your business
We'll never sell your data or lock you in. Export everything, cancel anytime, no tricks.
Why we're Ireland-first
Most invoicing software is built in the US or UK. They treat Irish VAT as an afterthought—if they support it at all.
We built TradeTime from day one with Irish tradespeople in mind. The 13.5% construction rate isn't hidden in a sub-menu. RCT isn't something you have to Google. It just works the way you'd expect.
We understand that your accountant wants VAT summaries in a specific format. We know that your customers expect Eircodes on invoices. We get it because we're here too.
