Small trade contractors already know their craft. What they don't have time for is redoing quotation math by hand or losing track of who owes what. TradeKhata replaces the paper khata and the scattered WhatsApp voice notes — nothing more, nothing that gets in the way of actually running the job.
Painting was first. Tiles, Plumbing, and Rajmistri followed on the same ledger. The goal is the same platform serving every small trade in India's informal sector — one place to quote, track, and get paid, regardless of what you build.
Every contractor I know keeps a notebook full of half-finished sums and a phone full of unanswered "when will you finish" messages. That's the actual problem — not a lack of features, a lack of time.
TradeKhata started as a single-trade tool for painting contractors, built to solve one specific, recurring headache: quotation math taking longer than it should, on a job that was already running late. It worked, so it grew — first into a full job ledger (materials, labor, GST invoices, profit tracking), then into a platform covering Tiles, Plumbing, and Rajmistri alongside Painting.
The company behind it builds small, focused SaaS tools for India's informal sector — recurring low-ticket billing, WhatsApp-first communication, and manual UPI confirmation instead of payment gateways that don't make sense at this scale. TradeKhata is one product in that family.
Every feature explained — Smart Estimator, materials, GST invoicing, staff roles, and more.
