Sound familiar?
Every tradie we talked to had the same Friday ritual.
Before TradzMate
- Type hours into Notes: start, smoko, finish
- Try to remember what you did Tuesday three weeks ago
- Calculate total hours by hand
- Copy it into a spreadsheet
- Email it to your boss
- Chase approval so you can get paid
With TradzMate
- Open the app at site and start the clock
- Tap smoko when you break, tap again when you are back
- Tap knock off and your hours are calculated
- Send your timesheet in one tap
- Boss approves fast and pushes to Xero
- You get paid right, every time
Three taps. That's it.
Designed for crews whose hands are dirty all day.
Clock on
GPS recognises the site. Tap once and your day starts.
Track smoko
Breaks are logged cleanly, with unpaid time handled for you.
Knock off
Review the day and send the timesheet before you leave the driveway.
Works solo. Works better connected.
TradzMate is useful from day one, even if your employer is not on it yet.
Solo mode
Self-employed or employer not on TradzMate
- GPS clock-on, one tap when you arrive on site
- Smoko tracking, unpaid time auto-deducted
- Weekly totals always accurate, no mental maths
- Export or email your timesheet as a PDF
- AI mate tracks your week and flags overtime
Good for: sole traders, subbies, or anyone whose employer uses a different system. Your records are yours, tidy, accurate and always on your phone.
Connected mode
Your employer is on TradzMate
- One tap sends your timesheet straight to your boss
- Boss approves in seconds, no emails and no chasing
- Approved hours push straight into Xero
- Overtime is flagged automatically
- Crew visibility without making the workers do extra admin
How it works: Your employer sets up a company account and sends you a code. Enter it in settings and you are connected. They approve, Xero does the rest.
Start solo. Connect to your employer any time. No data lost, no setup drama.
Your AI mate.
Got your back.
Every TradzMate user gets their own AI mate, an assistant who knows your schedule, reminds you to clock on, flags overtime and nudges you to log the fuel receipt you nearly forgot.
Named after Dan, the sparkie's apprentice who built this.

Our story
Built from a Friday timesheet problem
Dan was a sparkie's apprentice in New Zealand. Every Friday, he would dig out his Notes app, calculate his hours by hand, copy them into a spreadsheet, and email it to his boss. Same as every other tradie he knew.
He looked at the apps that were out there. All built for the boss. Too complex, too expensive, not how a tradie actually works. So he built his own, called it TradzMate, and put his name in the AI assistant too.
Now every tradie who uses TradzMate gets their own Dan in their pocket.
