About StraightFlow

Built for the trades that keep Ireland running.

Plumbers, electricians, heating engineers and every service trade with an office and people on the road. StraightFlow keeps the jobs, the day and the invoices in one place, so the paperwork is done before the van is home.

Why it exists

The work is done on site. The paperwork follows you home.

In most trades businesses the day's work ends at the last call-out and the office work starts after it: enquiries sitting in an inbox, a diary on the dashboard, notes on the back of a docket, invoices typed at the kitchen table.

StraightFlow puts each of those steps where the work happens - in the office when the enquiry arrives, on the technician's phone at the job, and on the invoice when the job is done.

The Irish rates on every invoice line, and invoice numbers with none skipped.

Irish dates

The fifth of March is 05/03 - when the jobs come in from your old files too.

How we work

Four things we will not bend on

01

A person presses send

StraightFlow drafts the invoice; somebody in your business reviews it and sends it. It never sends one by itself, and a sent invoice is corrected by a credit note, never edited.

02

Your data stays yours

Customers, sites, jobs, visits and costs come out as CSV at any time. If you leave, everything goes with you.

03

Nothing here is a plan

Every feature on this site is built and tested today. What is not ready is not on the page.

04

Made with the people using it

The first businesses shape what comes next. Prices, and what it does after this, are worked out with them.

How the pilot runs

StraightFlow is taking a small number of Irish trades businesses for its first pilot. We set it up with you, not for a demo.

  1. Step 1

    Write to us

    Tell us about your business - the trade, the office and how many people are on the road.

  2. Step 2

    Your business, set up

    We set up your business, your people and your work types and prices.

  3. Step 3

    Your history comes in

    Customers, sites and past jobs come in from your old system's files.

  4. Step 4

    Office and van start

    The office works in the browser; technicians use the Android app or their phone's browser.
