A new free-to-download application (app) is designed to be a one-stop business management tool, allowing on-call trade specialists to access job requests.

“The TOD Hero app really is like an Uber for people who need plumbers, handymen, locksmiths and electricians in real time,” says TOD CEO and founder Shannon Mackrill. “TOD wants to be the voice of small businesses and entrepreneurs, by offering them access to market via our business management tool. We provide credibility and, in so doing, help them grow their businesses.”

New business management features in the app prioritise simplicity, direct connection and cashless payment, allowing tradespeople to email personal job quotes, have them approved, generate invoices and send them to clients. The app also includes a diary management tool and reminders for TOD jobs and private work that allows clients to book services for a future date.

Additional add-on features include GPS tracking, photo sharing, detailed job card descriptions, tool suggestions and an in-app chat function.

Mackrill says the aim of the TOD HERO platform is to provide work and opportunities for tradespeople, with an innovative tool to conduct and manage back-office work.

“At its heart, the app connects customers to credible tradespeople based in Cape Town, Johannesburg, Pretoria, Port Elizabeth, Bloemfontein and Durban, on-demand or at a future date, 24/7/365. Add to that TOD’s ability to develop and manage the world’s largest connected tradesperson workforce, and what you have is a powerful tool to empower individuals to manage and grow their own businesses,” he says.
