Job Management App for Tradespeople: Replace the Paper Notebook

Job management app for tradespeople: client records, measurements, jobs and automatic emails. Get notified when Nkapo by Liafrik launches.

Measurements for a dress scribbled on the back of a notebook, a car's history in a stained ledger, forgotten appointments, clients calling to ask whether their job is ready: the paper notebook has its limits, especially as your business grows.

A job management app for tradespeople keeps everything in one place and notifies your clients for you.

Why leave the paper notebook behind?

Lose nothing: a torn page or a misplaced notebook no longer makes your clients disappear.
Find information in seconds: measurements, past jobs, balances.
Track money better: who has paid, who still owes what.
Make a good impression: informed clients and professional follow-up.

What a digital job book should offer a tradesperson

For your day-to-day workshop

One record per client, with contact details and history.
Measurements or details for each job: garment, vehicle, cut.
Job status tracking: in progress, ready, delivered.
Payments received and balances still due.
Appointments and reminders.

For your clients

A client who is told automatically when the job is ready, or reminded the day before an appointment, means fewer calls for you and fewer missed appointments. A quote or receipt sent by email also gives your business a professional image.

How to go from paper to digital without the headache

Start with your regular clients: one record each.
Log every new job as soon as it is ordered.
Update the job status at every step.
Record payments the same day.
