Two channels, one business

Pick whichever suits you. Your invoices, clients, quotes and laybyes are the same wherever you log them โ€” both channels read and write the same TradeJot.

โœˆ๏ธ

Telegram

Invoice on the go โ€” open @MyTradeJotBot, send SIGNUP to join (or /login if you already have an account). Same commands, same PDFs.

๐ŸŒ

Web dashboard

Bigger screen, full history, magic-link login by email. Available at tradejot.co.za/login. Pro+.

Built for the messy real world

SIMs get banned. Phones go missing. Roaming charges. Power's out. TradeJot doesn't have a single point of failure โ€” log a job on whichever channel works right now, and it shows up everywhere.

How it works

Just message your bot

"Did a tile job at Mrs Jones for R5,300." TradeJot parses it, creates an invoice, and sends you a PDF โ€” straight in Telegram, or on your web dashboard.

No app to learn

If you can send a message, you can use TradeJot. No installs, no accounting jargon. Web dashboard for when you want a bigger screen.

Shareable business card

Reply publish card and you get a public link clients can tap to save your name, trade, phone and banking straight to their contacts. Pro plan adds your custom logo.

Remembers your prices (Pro)

Log a geyser at R6,500 once and the next geyser job autofills the price โ€” even when you skipped it. Type prices to see your book or save geyser R6500 to add one manually.

Built for SA tradies

Plumbers, sparkies, mechanics, painters, builders. Rand-priced. POPIA-compliant. South African support.

Your data, encrypted

Client phone numbers and addresses are encrypted at rest with AES-256. Daily encrypted backups. Never sold, never shared.

See it in action

About a minute โ€” sign up free, log your first invoice, and share your business card. No app, no logins.
