Why UK trade SMBs choose Trade2Base
Field service vs construction management
Procore is enterprise construction project management software — built for managing large commercial builds, subcontractor coordination, tender management and multi-million pound projects with hundreds of stakeholders. UK trade SMBs doing domestic and commercial service work need job scheduling, quote-to-invoice workflows, customer portals and marketing attribution. Trade2Base is built precisely for that.
Campaign attribution for trade businesses
Procore has no marketing attribution layer. It does not connect Google Ads, Facebook or Checkatrade to the jobs and revenue they generate. Trade2Base was built specifically to show UK trade businesses which marketing channels generate profitable booked work — cost-per-job across every channel in one dashboard.
Trade SMB pricing vs enterprise contracts
Procore is enterprise-priced — typically £400-£800+/month with annual contracts and implementation costs. It is designed for construction companies with 20-200+ staff, not trade SMBs with 1-15 engineers. Trade2Base starts at £29/month with a 7-day free trial and no minimum contract.
