Why Tradespeople Need Materials Tracking Software

Poor materials management costs UK trade businesses thousands every year

Forgetting to charge for materials

You've used £200 of parts but only remembered £150 when invoicing. ProWorks tracks every material as you add it - nothing gets missed.

No idea if jobs are profitable

Without proper tracking, you don't know if a job made money until months later. ProWorks shows costs vs income in real-time.

Inconsistent markup

Sometimes you add 20%, sometimes 30%, sometimes you forget altogether. Set your default markup once and apply it automatically.

Lost receipts and invoices

Paper receipts in your van, supplier invoices in email, no idea what belongs to which job. ProWorks keeps everything organised.
