- Customer records with full job, quote, and payment history against every contact.
- Built-in quoting and invoicing — no separate apps, no double-entry.
- Mobile-first — designed to be run from a phone on site, not a laptop in an office.

Who it's for
WrkGenie is used by UK electricians, plumbers, cleaners, gardeners, and handyman businesses — sole traders and small teams.

How UK service businesses actually use job management software
Most tradespeople don't sit down with a system and process jobs formally. The reality looks more like this: an enquiry comes in over WhatsApp or the phone, you agree a price on the spot or follow up with a quote, the job goes in the diary somewhere, you do the work, and then — three days later — you try to remember the customer's email address to send the invoice.
Job management software is useful precisely because it captures each step in one record from the start. When the job is in WrkGenie, you already have the customer details, the agreed price, any notes from the site visit, and the invoice is one tap away once the work is done. Nothing lives in your head or in a text message.
Common scenarios it helps with:
- Emergency callouts that push the day's schedule back — move jobs without losing the customer details. Everyone in the diary stays informed.
- Repeat customers and recurring work — landlords with multiple properties, monthly maintenance contracts, annual service visits. All previous jobs and invoices are in the customer record.
- Jobs that take longer than quoted — add notes, adjust the invoice, and send a revised version from the same job record without losing the original quote.
- Chasing invoices that haven't been paid— see what's outstanding at a glance, resend from the job record, and track when it was paid.
- End-of-year records for self-assessment — all jobs, invoices, and payment dates in one place, searchable by date range.

Common questions about WrkGenie job management
What does job management software actually do?
Job management software keeps all your business activity in one place — customer records, job history, scheduling, quotes, invoices, and payments. Instead of customers in your phone, jobs in a diary, and invoices in a spreadsheet, everything links together. When a repeat customer calls, their previous jobs and invoices are already there. When a job is complete, the invoice is one tap away.
Is job management software worth it for a sole trader?
For most sole traders beyond the early stages, yes. The time saved on admin — quoting, invoicing, chasing payments, finding old job details — typically outweighs the monthly cost within the first few weeks. The bigger benefit is fewer missed invoices and forgotten follow-ups, which have a direct impact on revenue rather than just time.
Can a small team use job management software?
WrkGenie is built for 1–5 person UK service businesses — sole traders and small teams. It doesn't assume you have an office coordinator or dedicated admin resource. The workflow is designed for one person or a small team managing their own jobs end-to-end, from booking through to payment.
Does WrkGenie replace spreadsheets?
For most trades businesses, yes. A spreadsheet can hold customer data and job records, but it can't send invoices, create payment links, flag overdue payments, or link a customer record to a job to an invoice automatically. WrkGenie does all of this, with the data in one place rather than across multiple files.
Can I run WrkGenie from my phone?
Yes. WrkGenie is designed to run from a phone on site — not a laptop in an office. Add jobs, update notes, raise invoices, and check what's outstanding from your phone, at any point in the day.
