The everyday grind

Stop running labour hire from scattered tools.

Every call, text, and spreadsheet is another place for a missed shift, an expired ticket, or a re-keyed timesheet. Tradie Flow closes the gaps.

Requests buried in messages

Job requests arrive by call, text, and email — and get lost before anyone can act on them.

One structured intake

Documents expiring unseen

White Cards, visas, and licences lapse with no warning — and a non-compliant worker ends up on site.

90/60/30/7-day alerts

Timesheets stuck waiting

Approvals stall on site and clock-outs go missing, so billing slips days behind the work.

GPS clock + token approval

Payroll rebuilt by hand

Pay runs and invoices get reassembled from spreadsheets every week, and the mistakes compound.

OT-aware pay & billing
The Tradie Flow workflow

One flow from client request to cash collected.

Every stage hands off cleanly to the next — with the audit trail, compliance checks, and rate logic carried the whole way through.

  1. 01 Request Client intake AI-assisted parsing turns free-text client requests into structured labour orders.
  2. 02 Allocate Compliance check Matching checks compliance, availability, role, and project fit before offers go out.
  3. 03 Confirm Worker offer SMS and push offers let workers accept or decline, with backup paths ready.
  4. 04 Clock in/out Site proof GPS and photo timesheets capture work on site, with offline sync when needed.
  5. 05 Approve Client sign-off Clients sign off in the portal or through a secure token approval link.
  6. 06 Invoice Draft invoice Approved hours flow into draft invoices and stay ready for Xero sync.
  7. 07 Pay Pay run OT-aware pay runs apply rates and contractor bills from approved hours.
  8. 08 Reconcile Close the loop Collections and payment polling close every invoice against the work.

The platform

Everything labour hire needs, in one operational system.

Six connected modules share one source of truth — workers, compliance, hours, money, and people all stay in sync.

Workforce & Compliance

Every worker, document, and ticket in one record — with deployment blocked the moment something expires.

  • Worker profiles & CW1–CW4 classifications
  • VEVO, White Card & licence tracking
  • Expiry alerts & deployment blocking

Operations & Allocation

Match the right workers to every request, with backups ready before a shift ever falls through.

  • Labour requests & worker matching
  • Backup shortlists & shortage escalation
  • Automatic replacement chains

GPS Timesheets

Hours captured on site with proof, ready to approve and bill before the crew leaves the gate.

  • Clock in/out with photo evidence
  • Offline sync & client approval
  • Rule-driven auto-approval

Payroll & Billing

Award-correct pay and accurate invoices, generated from the same approved hours.

  • Rate books & Australian construction OT
  • Pay runs & contractor bills
  • Invoices with Xero sync

Recruitment

From job board to onboarded worker, with a pipeline that keeps every candidate moving.

  • Public job board & Kanban pipeline
  • Resume parsing & bilingual descriptions
  • Offers & automated onboarding

Client & Worker Portals

Self-service for both sides — clients request and approve, workers see their week.

  • Client labour requests & approvals
  • Worker schedule & availability
  • Invoices & payslips on demand
Compliance by design

Compliance is built into the workflow.

Tradie Flow blocks deployment the moment a required check is missing or expired — so a non-compliant worker never makes it onto site by accident.

Built for the Australian labour hire context, with an append-only audit log retained for 7 years. Compliance isn’t a report you run later — it’s a gate the work has to pass through.

AI with guardrails

AI where it helps. Rules where it matters.

AI does the reading and drafting. Deterministic rules do the deciding. People sign off on anything that counts.

AI extracts & drafts

AI models parse job requests, resumes, and documents, and drafts bilingual job descriptions — turning messy input into structured data.

Reads & suggests

Rules decide

Deterministic logic handles compliance gates, candidate scoring, allocation checks, OT, pay, and billing — the same way every time, with no AI bias.

Consistent & auditable

Humans approve

Hiring, compliance, invoices, and sensitive decisions all require human sign-off — with every AI input and output logged for the audit trail.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Yes. It’s built specifically for Australian construction labour hire — CW1–CW4 classifications, White Card and VEVO checks, Australian construction award overtime, and a 7-year audit retention aligned with the Fair Work Act 2009.

Workers get an installable PWA with offline support. They clock in and out with GPS and photo evidence, see their schedule, set availability, accept or decline shifts, and download payslips — even with patchy site reception, with clocks syncing when they reconnect.

Yes. The interface is bilingual with a locale toggle, and AI can draft job descriptions in both English and Mongolian — built around the realities of a workforce that operates in two languages.

No — it works with Xero. Tradie Flow generates invoices and bills from approved timesheets and syncs them to Xero over a secure connection, then polls for payments to reconcile. Your accounting stays in Xero; the labour hire workflow lives in Tradie Flow.

Each worker has required checks — a verified VEVO result, a current White Card, and valid trade licences. Alerts fire at 90, 60, 30, and 7 days before expiry. At zero days the worker is blocked from deployment, not just warned, so an out-of-date ticket can’t slip through onto site.

No. AI extracts data from documents and drafts content. Candidate scoring is rule-based and deterministic to keep it fair, and a person approves every hiring, compliance, and invoicing decision. All AI inputs and outputs are logged for the audit trail.
