Motivated by its vision to transform the trade industry, hipages Group has launched a new all-in-one lead and job management platform, ‘hipages tradiecore’, to help tradies build, grow and manage their businesses.

A game-changer for tradies, the Australian first platform is an end-to-end solution, combining job leads and management with admin tasks such as quoting, scheduling and invoicing, in one convenient app.

The launch follows new research revealing 84% of trade business decision-makers feel like they are spending more time on client communication and admin, than on the tools. The impact of this is a hit to both profitability and bottom lines, with two-thirds (66%) admitting to losing out on business due to time spent on the books.

Three-quarters of tradies (74%) spend up to five hours per project on admin tasks alone, which is equivalent to $500 of labour. The most time-consuming activities include quoting (77%), scheduling and diary management (69%), and invoicing (61%).

Despite this, tradies recognise the importance of streamlined business management. The majority (86%) say these tasks are essential to ensuring a job is done properly, while three-quarters (74%) say proper communication is essential to being hired again.

hipages Group CEO and Co-Founder, Roby-Sharon Zipser, said:

“hipages Group has been helping Australian tradies build their businesses for nearly 20 years by connecting them with homeowners to boost their job pipelines with more work. However, tradies have told us they want more streamlined communication between themselves and clients. 

“By offering an all-in-one business solution through hipages tradiecore, not only are we offering an easier way to do business, we are saving them time by offering the only platform in Australia that manages their workflow from lead generation through to payment and completion.”
