Where Trade2Base pulls ahead
UK-native vs US HVAC software
FieldEdge is built for American HVAC, plumbing and electrical contractors — USD pricing, US tax compliance (QuickBooks US) and US-based support. UK trade businesses need VAT-compliant invoicing, Gas Safe certificate storage, CIS subcontractor tax, Xero integration and HMRC-ready workflows. Trade2Base was built for UK trade businesses from day one.
Campaign attribution vs no marketing tools
FieldEdge manages jobs and service agreements well — but has no concept of which marketing channels generate your customers or what each customer costs to acquire. Trade2Base connects Google Ads, Facebook, Checkatrade and directories to the jobs and revenue they generate, showing cost-per-booked-job by channel so you can optimise your marketing spend.
