Our Story

Founded by the field.
For the field.

TradeFlow Planner started with a commercial HVAC veteran who was tired of managing crew schedules in spreadsheets. After 22 years in the field, he knew exactly what was missing — and what needed to be built.

We didn't adapt a generic project management tool. We built TradeFlow Planner from scratch, shaped by real conversations with contractors, project managers, and field supervisors who needed something that actually fit how construction works.

Our Mission

Our mission

Give every contractor — from a two-person crew to a 200-person GC — the scheduling clarity that used to require a full-time planner.

Construction is one of the most complex coordination challenges in the world. Yet most teams are still managing it with spreadsheets, whiteboards, and phone calls. We believe every contractor deserves a tool that makes the complexity manageable — without requiring a software degree to use it.

Clarity on the Schedule

Every team member — from the PM to the foreman — should be able to see exactly what's happening and when.

Control Over Manpower

Crew shortages and overloads shouldn't be surprises. They should be visible weeks in advance so you can act.

Confidence in Delivery

When your schedule and manpower are under control, you can commit to owners and subs with confidence.

How We Work

What we believe in.

Field-First Thinking

Every feature is evaluated against one question: does this make life easier for the person running the job? If not, we don't build it.

Focused, Not Bloated

We deliberately keep TradeFlow Planner focused on what construction teams actually need. We'd rather do a few things exceptionally well than everything poorly.

Built With Contractors

Our product roadmap is driven by conversations with real contractors. Every major feature has been shaped by feedback from the field.

Simple by Design

If your field supervisor won't use it, it doesn't matter how powerful it is. We obsess over simplicity so your whole team actually adopts it.
