Our Story

Started By a Tradie Who Was Sick of Admin Hell

Our founder spent more time in front of a spreadsheet than on the tools. So he teamed up with AI experts to build something that actually works for Aussie tradies.

The Problem We Saw

Our founder — a chippy turned frustrated admin warrior — was spending 15+ hours a week on quotes, invoices, chasing payments, and scheduling. He'd jump between five different apps, none of which understood Aussie trades.

The Apps He Tried:

  • American software measuring everything in inches
  • No GST built in — had to recalculate every quote
  • Generic templates that didn't fit any real trade
  • Bloody impossible to use on a dusty job site with dodgy reception
  • Support team in the US who'd never heard of a tradie

So He Built Something Better:

He teamed up with AI developers who actually listened. Together, they built TradieIQ from the ground up for Australian tradies.

  • Everything in millimetres, dollars, and GST
  • Works offline — sync when you've got signal
  • Built by blokes who've actually been on the tools
  • Support that speaks tradie — no corporate wank
  • We come to you to set it up on your site

What We Believe

Our values are simple. We're obsessed with building tools that actually work for tradies.

AI Should Be Dead Simple

If your nan can't use it, it's too complicated. We obsess over making TradieIQ so easy that you're generating quotes after a 10-minute chat. No manuals. No confusion.

Built For The Site, Not The Office

Mobile-first. Works with dirty hands. Handles bad reception. No fancy buttons you'll never use. Just the essentials, lightning fast, and designed to work in a van, on a roof, or in a muddy backyard.

Aussie Through & Through

We speak Australian. Prices in $AUD with GST baked in. Measurements in millimetres. We understand your trade — from chippies to sparkies to plumbers. No one-size-fits-all nonsense.

We Come To You

No fancy office. No "contact our support team" nonsense. We actually come out to your job site, your shed, your van — wherever you work — and set it up for you personally.

Our Mission

To give every Aussie tradie an AI assistant that handles the boring stuff — quoting, invoicing, scheduling, follow-ups — so they can focus on what they love:

Being on the tools and growing their business.

The TradieIQ Crew

A small team of AI experts and ex-tradies who actually give a damn about getting it right.
