FAQ

Common questions

Can I invoice a customer on the doorstep after a lockout?

Yes. TradeTally works on your phone: create and send the invoice before you leave the job.

How do I track my lock and key stock?

Log stock purchases as expenses. While TradeTally is not a full inventory system, you will have a clear record of what you have spent on supplies.

Does TradeTally support emergency callout pricing?

Add whatever line items suit your pricing: standard callout fee, out-of-hours surcharge, parts, and labour as separate lines.
