The TradesOS estimating copilot in the product: an HVAC owner typed a plain-words job description, a 3-ton AC short-cycling with a likely failed capacitor and pitted contactor, and the copilot drafted five line items, each labeled Priced from your book, with AC diagnostic 99 dollars, electronic leak search 285, run capacitor 225, contactor 245 and an R-410A refrigerant top-off, plus a note on the assumptions to confirm on site

Built For Owners Who Wear Every Hat

You sell the job, price it, answer the phone, and do the paperwork at night.

TradesOS is for the HVAC owner-operator running a shop with one to five techs. It does not add another login for your crew. It takes the office work off your kitchen table.

The paperwork eats your evenings

Quotes pile up after the truck is parked. TradesOS drafts them so you approve instead of write, priced from your own price book. SOPs and review replies are next.

Missed calls go to the competitor

Every unanswered ring is a booked job lost to whoever picks up next. An instant text-back keeps the caller with you.

Am I charging enough?

Stop guessing at the kitchen table. Quotes are built from your own price book, so you price with a system and win the job.

No way to see what is working

Quotes sent, win rate, average ticket, calls captured. One owner scoreboard, updated daily, so a change is measurable.

Four Office Jobs, Handled

The paperwork that eats your evenings, drafted by AI and approved by you.

The estimating copilot is live today. SOP builder, review responder, and missed-call text-back are rolling out next. Nothing posts or sends itself. You stay in control of every quote, reply, and procedure.

Rolling out

A 20-minute interview turns how you do a job into a written procedure, a safety checklist, and a customer script your crew can follow.

Missed-call text-back

Rolling out

Every missed call gets an instant text with a booking link, and you get the alert. Callers stop dialing your competitor.

See It In Action

Real screens from a real shop.

Every screenshot below is the live product, filled in by a fictional HVAC shop: Ridgeline Heating & Air, run by owner-operator Marcus Bell in the Denver metro. Nothing here is a mockup. Click any screen to zoom in.

Do · close the job

Your customer accepts on their phone.

The quote goes out as a clean, branded link, not a PDF buried in an inbox. The homeowner sees the line items, the total, and one button. They type their name and accept, and your dashboard updates the second they do.

✓Nothing for the customer to download or install.
✓Accept or decline in one tap, right from the driveway.
✓The won deal lands on your owner dashboard automatically.

The customer-facing TradesOS quote page for Ridgeline Heating and Air, prepared for Diane Whitaker for an AC repair: an itemized table of diagnostic, leak search, capacitor, contactor and refrigerant lines totaling 981 dollars and 50 cents, with a field to type a full name and an Accept quote button

A coach that knows your shop

Advice grounded in your numbers, not a forum.

Ask the shop coach a real question and it answers with your real data: the quote you just sent, your service radius, your labor rate. It coaches the owner side (pricing, cash flow, selling) and deliberately stays out of licensed-trade, code, and financial calls. That stays your judgment.

✓Pulls in your shop profile, price book, and recent quotes.
✓Talks pricing, objections, hiring, and slow seasons.
✓No generic boilerplate, and no advice it has no business giving.

The TradesOS shop coach answering an owner who asked how to hold a 16,145 dollar replacement quote against a cheaper competitor: the coach notes they are 2,645 dollars apart, lists what the quote includes that the rival may not, and coaches anchoring to the customer outcome rather than dropping the price

Every quote in one place

Your whole pipeline, at a glance.

Drafts, sent quotes, and won deals all live in one list, each priced from your book. Mark a job won or lost and the numbers on your dashboard, win rate and average ticket, move with it.

✓Draft a new quote with the copilot in about a minute.
✓See status and total for every job in one scroll.
✓Won and lost labels feed the measure-and-refine loop.

How It Compounds

Learn the business, do the work in the product, watch the numbers move.

Most tools stop at the feature. TradesOS connects what you learn to what you do, measures it on one dashboard, and tunes the advice to your shop, not a national average.

Learn

Short lessons on pricing, job costing, and selling. Each one ends with a thing to do in the platform.

Quotes, SOPs, reviews, and calls all happen in TradesOS, so the busywork gets done where it is measured.

Measure

Quotes sent, win rate, average ticket, calls captured. One dashboard, updated daily.

Refine

Won and lost labels tune your quote templates and the coach's advice to your shop over time.

trades.bizframehub.com/dashboard

The TradesOS owner dashboard for Ridgeline Heating and Air, the shop at a glance: 3 quotes sent, a 67 percent win rate, an 8,563 dollar average ticket and calls captured, with tiles for the HVAC price book of 82 items, the estimating copilot, the knowledge base and the shop coach

Rolling Out · Voice AI Receptionist

She answers when you cannot, and only costs money when she does.

The voice receptionist answers the call, books the job, texts you a summary, and flags emergencies for live transfer. Prepaid minute packs, no monthly fee, and the phone falls back to text-back if you ever run out.

An answered call that books a $400 job costs about a dollar. A shop that gets no calls pays nothing.

Call summary

New booking: no-cooling call, Maple St. Booked Thu 9am. Customer flagged it as urgent.

Emergency keyword detected on a second call. Transferred to your cell at 2:14pm.

Questions Owners Ask

Straight answers.

Do I pay more when I add a technician?

No. There are no per-technician seats. One subscription runs the whole shop, whether you have one tech or five.

Where do the quote prices come from?

From your own price book. TradesOS ships an HVAC starter price book with 80 plus items and 7 quote templates that you calibrate at onboarding. The estimating copilot never invents a number.

Which trades are supported?

All three trade packs are live today: HVAC (82 price-book items), plumbing (42 items), and electrical (40 items). Pick your trade during onboarding. Foundations includes one trade pack; Pro includes all three.

Does anything send or post automatically?

No. The estimating copilot drafts quotes for you to approve; nothing sends itself. The SOP builder and review responder, rolling out next, will work the same way: drafted for you to approve, with low-rated reviews coming to you first. You stay in control of everything that leaves your shop.

How long does setup take?

You can be live in a day: set up your shop profile, load or import your price book, and send your first quote. Want a hand? Start your shop and book a 15-minute setup call.
