From solo operation to a full scale team

Fintrano grows with you

A smart system that supports your growth

When you're just starting out as a sole trader, every job matters. You're juggling bookings, travel, reminders and asking for reviews. You need tools that make things simple, help you look professional and free up your time so you can focus on doing the work.

And, as your business grows, you're taking on more responsibility. You bring in helpers, you take on more jobs, you start to coordinate your 'crew' – the demands change. Fintrano works when it's just you, and it's your number one companion now that you manage multiple people going to different jobs, coordinating calendars, tracking work and workers and still keeping your customer experience top notch.

Fintrano is designed to grow with you, so you don't have to replace your tools every time you scale. The same platform supports your entire journey from solo trader to and established team business.

Stage 1 – The Sole Trader

At this stage you need:

A simple diary system to organise your jobs

Automated reminders and confirmations so you look professional and reduce missed appointments.

Customer reviews to build trust and referrals.

Fintrano delivers these in a simple to use system with no learning curve. If you can use a diary, you can use Fintrano. It will automate your customer confirmations and reminders, send live location notifications when you’re on your way, and ask for feedback after the job. For a single person business this means fewer administrative headaches, more time doing the work a highly effective way to collect customer reviews on Google, or Trustpilot, or Check a Trade, or whatever platform you prefer.

Stage 2: Hiring helpers or collaborating

Once you bring in a second person or work with subcontractors, things get more complex. You need to assign jobs, manage who's where and ensure clients receive consistent service.

With Fintrano you can:

  • add unlimited users - staff, apprentices or subcontractors.
  • use the same customer management and review generation tools so your brand stays consistent.
  • let your team view jobs, maps and updates in real time.

This means you can scale from 'just you' to 'you plus a crew' without changing systems.

Stage 3: Running a larger operation

As your business really takes off with dozens of jobs every day and multiple workers and subcontractors, your system needs to keep up.

You'll need:

  • a platform that manages many users, customers and jobs seamlessly.
  • clear visibility: where your team is, what parts of the job are done and what's outstanding.
  • the same customer experience you had when it was just you - confirmations, live tracking and feedback prompts.

Fintrano is built for that. You can have unlimited users and customers, job-mapping, backtrack history, live tracking, job photos and collaboration with other systems. You stay organised, professional and consistent - even with a much larger team.

So

if you're a sole trader; a small service business thinking of hiring more staff; if you want to manage jobs and customers as you grow OR if you want to keep gathering positive reviews without the effort

Fintrano is for you.
