Stop chasing leads through word-of-mouth and Facebook groups. SkillsDock puts verified job requests directly in your hands so you can quote faster, win more work, and get paid on time — all from a single dashboard built for Australian tradies.
Picture this: you're a sole-trader plumber in western Sydney. Right now your phone rings off the hook with tyre-kicker enquiries from marketplace sites that charge you just to view a lead. Half the time the homeowner has already hired someone else. Your quoting process is a mishmash of scribbled notes, text messages, and a spreadsheet your mate set up three years ago. Chasing overdue invoices eats up your Sunday nights, and you still have no idea when your contractor licence is due for renewal.
With SkillsDock, verified job requests land in your dashboard each morning — matched to your trade, location, and availability. You build a quote from pre-loaded templates, send it with one tap, and the customer can accept and pay a deposit before lunch. Milestone payments release automatically when you mark a stage complete, so cash flow stops being a guessing game. Your licence, insurance, and ABN details sit in one place with renewal reminders sent well before expiry.
The result? Less time on admin, more time on tools, and a pipeline of work that does not depend on who you know or how often you post on social media.

Six practical tools that solve the problems sole traders and small trade businesses deal with every week.
Receive tenders and job invites that match your trade, service area, and capacity. Every request comes from a verified customer with a confirmed budget, so you spend time quoting real work instead of filtering spam leads.
Build professional quotes using standardised templates with clear inclusions and exclusions. Attach photos, spec sheets, and terms — then send with a single tap. The average quote response time on SkillsDock is under two hours, giving you a head start on competitors.
Store your contractor licence, public liability insurance, ABN, and trade qualifications in one secure vault. Automated reminders notify you 90, 60, and 30 days before any document expires, helping you avoid lapsed-licence fines.
Agree on payment milestones before work begins. Funds are held in trust and released when you mark each stage complete and the customer approves. No more chasing invoices or waiting 30-plus days for a bank transfer.
Showcase completed projects with before-and-after photos and collect verified reviews from real customers. A strong profile ranks higher in marketplace search results, bringing you more inbound enquiries without paid advertising.
Clock on and off from your phone with GPS-verified time entries. SkillsClock records hours against each job automatically, making it simple to bill day-rate work accurately and keep payroll records if you employ apprentices or labourers.
