Field service software usually means enterprise pricing and six-month implementations. TradeKit flipped the model: branded website, booking, quoting, invoicing, GPS tracking, missed-call auto-text, and SEO for tradespeople with a $149 launch fee and $0/month positioning.
The full TradeKit asset is listed at Sizzle Store / TradeKit.
What was already built
- Custom logo and SEO website generator
- Online booking with SMS reminders
- Quoting, invoicing, Stripe payments
- Uber-style GPS tracking for customers
- Missed-call auto-text in 10 seconds
- Hyper-local SEO and review automation
Overhead you skip
Mapping, SMS, payments, and vertical copy for 100+ trade types is not a weekend project. It is a category product. Acquisition lets you scale distribution instead of proving the bundle.
Who this is for
Vertical SaaS acquirers, marketing agencies serving trades, or founders who already sell to HVAC/plumbing and need the software layer.
Next step
The team you do not have to hire
Greenfield builds quietly assume a product owner, designer, two engineers, and someone who understands DevOps. That is $25K to $40K per month in loaded cost before ads, legal, or trade shows. Acquisition converts that burn into a single line item and lets you redirect budget toward customers.
When buying beats building
Buy when your advantage is distribution: you already sell to schools, trades, borrowers, or fans. Build when the asset is a side experiment with no operator attached. These Sizzle Store listings target operators who should not spend another year proving the wedge exists.
Honest caveats
Transfer is not autopilot. You rebrand, reconnect integrations, and own go-to-market. Pre-revenue products stay pre-revenue until you sell. Metrics cited in portfolio history reflect past marketing conditions, not guarantees. The listing page states exactly what transfers.
