What is SubTrade Software?
SubTrade is a construction management platform built exclusively for trade subcontractors in electrical, HVAC, plumbing, drywall, and concrete. Unlike general contractor tools, SubTrade is designed around the workflows subcontractors actually use in the field.
Core Features
SubTrade includes GPS-based time tracking with real job costing, crew scheduling across multiple active projects, digital daily logs with photo documentation, safety forms and toolbox talks with digital signatures, change order management, submittals, RFIs, and purchase orders — all accessible from mobile or desktop.
Who It's For
SubTrade serves Canadian commercial and residential subcontracting companies with field crews of 5 to 100+ workers. The platform is used by operations that previously tracked labour and compliance through spreadsheets, paper forms, or disconnected apps.
Key Differentiators
SubTrade aims to replace multiple disconnected tools with one platform purpose-built for subcontractors. Field workers can clock in, submit daily logs, and complete safety forms from any device. Office staff get real-time visibility into crew hours, job costs, and project documentation without chasing the field for updates.
Deployment
SubTrade is a web-based SaaS platform with iOS and Android mobile apps. Setup requires no hardware and companies can onboard field crews within days.
