Sound Familiar?

Your team is spending hours on things that should take minutes.

You're already on the right platforms. JobTread and QuickBooks have everything — job data, costs, invoices, financials. The problem is none of it talks to each other, and someone on your team is manually bridging the gap every single day.

That's not a software problem. It's an ops layer problem. That's what I build.

  • ✗
    Estimates built from scratch every time — no catalog, no consistency, no speed
  • ✗
    Vendor invoices from Sherwin-Williams or Home Depot re-keyed by hand into JobTread and QuickBooks
  • ✗
    AIA G702/G703 billing assembled manually every cycle — slow, error-prone, and painful
  • ✗
    No single view of job profitability — GP% only visible after the job closes
  • ✗
    Sales pipeline lives in JobTread with no urgency signal — stale proposals slip through
  • ✗
    Google review requests depend on someone remembering to send them
  • ✗
    Owners asking the office for updates that should be visible on a dashboard
  • ✗
    JobTread and QuickBooks running in parallel with no shared vocabulary or data flow

You want a fixed-price deliverable, not an ongoing retainer
✓
You want something built and running in weeks — not after a 6-month implementation

Case Study

9 tools. 8 weeks. One painting contractor who can now run their business without asking the office.

A commercial painting contractor in Georgia — $3M+ revenue, 140+ active jobs — was running on gut feel. Estimates built from scratch. Vendor invoices re-keyed by hand. AIA billing assembled manually every cycle. No visibility into job profitability until it was too late to act.

In 8 weeks, I built their entire internal ops platform on top of the JobTread and QuickBooks they were already paying for. Zero new software. Nine tools live and in use by the whole team.

About

Andres Bedoya

Founder, TradeOpsLab

I'm not a consultant who makes recommendations. I'm the person who builds the thing.

My background is in product ownership and operations strategy. I came to the contractor space through a single engagement with a painting contractor in Georgia — and in 8 weeks built their entire internal ops platform from scratch: AI estimating, live financial dashboards, AIA invoicing, vendor invoice automation, sales pipeline, and more. All on top of the JobTread and QuickBooks they were already paying for.

Nine tools. Zero new software subscriptions. A team that can now run their business without asking someone to pull a report. That's what I build.
