Contractors lose thousands of dollars every year in deductions simply because they can't find the receipts to prove the expense. A $400 supply run at Home Depot, a $900 lumber order, a $200 tank of gas — these add up fast. Without documentation, you either can't claim them or you risk an audit you can't survive.
The problem isn't laziness. It's that receipts are paper, and paper lives in pockets, gloveboxes, and truck dashboards until it disappears. TradeBase moves the receipt from paper to digital the moment you get it — while you're still standing at the register.
The process takes about 30 seconds:
It works on thermal receipts, printed receipts, and even handwritten receipts in most cases. You never have to type anything manually unless you want to.
When receipts are attached to jobs, you can see exactly what each job costs you in materials. Combined with your labor rate, TradeBase shows you your actual margin on every job. Over time, this data tells you which types of jobs are most profitable — and which ones you should be pricing higher.
