A supplier list with account numbers and payment terms

Every trade business runs on four or five merchants and can never find the account number. Gaffer keeps suppliers as proper records — contact, account number, payment terms and address — so purchase orders, deliveries and expenses all point at the same place.

Replaces a separate invoicing app and a folder of unpaid PDFs. Money arrives in days rather than weeks, and nobody has to make the awkward phone call.

Why it matters

Invoice from the driveway. Get paid before you leave it.

One tap turns the job into a branded invoice with a Pay Now link — card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or Direct Debit. Reminders chase politely on your behalf. Xero or QuickBooks are updated for you.

Debtor days drop from weeks to days, and nobody has to make the awkward phone call.

Step 05 of the job: invoice

Marking the job complete raises the invoice from the accepted quote, nets off the deposit, attaches the certificate and sends it with a Pay Now link — before the van has left the drive.

Suppliers is one part of that step. The rest of the job — quoting, scheduling, certificates, invoicing and payment — runs in the same system, on the same record. See the whole job →

Common questions

About suppliers

What does suppliers replace?

For most trade businesses, a separate invoicing app and a folder of unpaid PDFs. Money arrives in days rather than weeks, and nobody has to make the awkward phone call.

Does suppliers work on a phone, and offline?

Yes. The mobile app is offline-first: records created on site are stored on the device and synced automatically, in order, when signal returns. Lofts, plant rooms and rural sites were the design brief.

Which plan is it on?

Every paid plan. Suppliers is included for unlimited users at no extra cost — the monthly, annual and lifetime plans differ only in how you pay.
