Automation and software for serious trade businesses

A real bloke, not a call centre. Trade Magnet was started by Dave List, who spent years building workflow automations for big infrastructure companies before backing himself to bring that same firepower to the trades. Work with us and you deal with the person who builds the thing, not an account manager three steps removed from the job.

Yep. We live inside the same tools you do: ServiceM8, Simpro, Xero, and we're a certified ServiceM8 partner. We've mapped the quote, follow-up, book, invoice, chase loop more times than we can count, so we're not learning your business on your dime. We know where the time leaks because we've plugged it before.

Born and based in Australia, built for Australian trade and construction teams. No offshore handoff, no support tickets disappearing into the void overnight. You get a local crew that works your hours and talks straight.

Most agencies sell you a website and wave goodbye. We're automation-first: we build custom software and the quiet systems behind it, then wire your existing tools together so the admin looks after itself. The site is one piece. The real win is hours back every week.

It's yours. We build on systems you own, hand over the keys, and price the build up front so there are no nasty surprises. Start with one automation and add more as you grow. We stick around to support and extend it, but you're never held hostage just to keep the lights on.
