About
Built for the people who make things work.
Trade Mechanics is one system to run a trade business, from first call to final payment. It's built for the trades, starting with electrical contractors.
The name
Mechanics.
- The people who make things work. The skilled professionals who build, install, repair, and maintain the things we depend on.
- The underlying mechanics of running a successful business. The processes, tools, coordination, and fundamentals that keep a business operating smoothly.
Trade Mechanics brings both together.
We provide the business management tools that help the people who make things work run their businesses.
Why we built it
Contractors pay for several products, for estimating, scheduling, a time clock and job costing, and tie them together by hand or in spreadsheets. The same numbers get typed twice, and by the time they meet, the job is long finished.
Trade Mechanics does that work in one system, built around the job. A job starts as a call, an email or a request from your website, gets an estimate and a signed proposal, is scheduled, bought for and worked, and is billed and paid. The costs land on it along the way, so you know your profit while the job is still running.
It builds what's specific to the trade: estimating, proposals, job management, purchasing, job costing, billing, time and scheduling. It works alongside what you and your accountant already use for the books, taxes, payroll and card payments.
What we stand by
-
Built with people in the trades
In use at an electrical contractor since July 2026, and built with them, in the trade's own words: jobs, supplier invoices, the crew.
-
Your data is yours
Each company has its own private system: its own site, database and storage. Your customers, jobs and prices are never shared with another company, and your data isn't used to train AI models.
-
AI that does specific jobs
The System reads supplier invoices, works out what a supplier's item is, and suggests products for estimate rows. You can check its work: anything it isn't sure of is listed for a person.
Who makes it
Trade Mechanics is a product of Innovation Mechanics, LLC.
