Never Run Late Again.
Smart Travel-Buffer Booking.
TradeSlot automates job intake via WhatsApp & Webchat, enforces mandatory 30-minute travel buffers between appointments, and captures flat £15 platform fees directly via Stripe Connect.
Platform Architecture
Built Specifically For How Tradespeople Operate
Eliminate double-bookings, back-and-forth phone tags, and manual invoice tracking.
30-Min Buffer Math
Every booked job automatically creates a mandatory 30-minute travel window (T_end + 30m buffer). Zero overlap and zero stress between appointments.
2-Channel Normalized Intake
Customers can book via WhatsApp Webhook or our on-site Web Chatbot. Both feed into the single unified state engine.
Stripe Connect Split Payouts
Instant destination charges. The customer pays in full, the platform captures the flat £15 application fee, and the trader gets paid directly into their bank account.
Trader Daily Work Area
Traders declare their active operating zone or postcode for the day. Protects from driving across town for low-margin call-outs.
Why Standard Calendars Fail for On-the-Road Trades
Traditional booking tools schedule back-to-back appointments (e.g. 10:00 AM, 11:00 AM, 12:00 PM). For an on-site plumber or electrician, 15 minutes of traffic cascades into being 2 hours late by afternoon.
Back-to-back zero buffer booking
Creates guaranteed delays and frustrated homeowners.
TradeSlot 30m Auto-Pad Protection
Every job window is automatically extended in the schedule with travel time.
