Building a High-Performance, Scalable Job Management Platform for Trade Professionals

Tech Used 

  • Mobile App (iOS & Android) 

  • Web-Based Admin Panel 

  • Node.js, React Native, PostgreSQL / Firebase (based on their architecture) 

  • Scalable Microservice-Based Architecture

 

Problem Statement 

Trade Apps is a job management solution initially focused on gas engineers, with plans to expand to electricians and other trades. 
However, the founder came from a trade background (plumbing); not software, which led to challenges such as: 

  • Limited clarity on technical architecture and scalability 

  • Difficulty ensuring the product was structured for future expansion 

  • Need for a reliable long-term technical partner to guide roadmap and development decisions 

  • Requirement for consistent, transparent communication throughout development 

The core goal was to build a scalable, well-structured product foundation that allows the company to confidently extend into new trades and markets.

 

Solution by Us 

We worked as an integrated product and engineering partner, focusing on both technical direction and hands-on development: 

  • Re-architected the system to support future scalability and modular feature expansion 

  • Provided clear technical guidance to translate business objectives into development priorities 

  • Ensured daily communication loops, walkthroughs, and transparent decision-making 

  • Defined a roadmap that allows the platform to expand into additional trade categories 

  • Delivered improvements with a steady, planned release cycle for smoother product evolution 

Our approach emphasized clarity, scalability, and partnership — not just development execution.

 

Benefit to the Customer 

  • The development process became structured, predictable, and easier to manage 

  • The founder gained clarity and confidence in technical decisions 

  • The product is now positioned to scale into multiple trade sectors 

  • Overall operations and delivery pace improved due to stronger architecture and communication practices 

 

Measured Impact: 

  • Smoother development lifecycle and faster feature rollout 

  • Clear scalability path for new trade categories 

  • Improved visibility and decision confidence for the founding team
