When Fintrano
makes sense

Fintrano takes a different approach - We've deliberately kept things simple so you don't need to spend time learning new software. It is designed to keep customers in the loop every step of the way, reducing your admin and generating reviews from happy, well-informed, customers.

Fintrano's philosophy

We believe software should adapt to the way that small businesses work, rather than expect you to adapt to the software. That's why we prioritise clarity and simplicity over unnecessary complexity.

  • Platform freedom – Your team can use Android, iPhone, or a laptop or a combination.
  • Clear customer communication with 4 automated texts per job to confirm, remind, track, and then a feedback request.
  • Zero learning curve – If you can use a calendar, you can use Fintrano. No templates to configure, no modules to learn.
  • Customer experience focus – Automatic confirmations, reminders, live location tracking, and review requests are built in. Your customers get a premium experience without you lifting a finger.
  • Review generation – Fintrano actively helps you build your online reputation by by prompting a review from your customer at the best time.
  • Genuinely simple pricing – 80p per job (or 70p on Pro). No surprises, scales as you grow.

When Fintrano
isn't right:

We are honest on what we do and do not do so if you are looking for these features maybe Powered Now is the better choice

  • Powered Now includes over 70 official UK trade certificates, including Gas Safety and Electrical Condition Reports.
  • You want an app that can fill out, sign, and issue these legal documents straight to the client while on-site.

For us, it was the perceived quality. Quality companies do stuff like this. Quality companies tell you exactly when they're going to be there.

Gav, Coffee Central

It’s made us more efficient, more professional, and it gives customers confidence in who we are. I wouldn’t want to be without it. It’s an invaluable part of our business.

Keely-Ann, Window Pains MK

It’s amazing. It just makes everything easier for us and better for the customer.

Jack McWilliam, McWilliam Electrical Services

Fintrano automatically sends a reminder to our customers when the job is complete. This tends to be the moment when they are at their happiest and have the time to leave a quick review when prompted by the text message. 

Hanna McWilliams, A&A Gas Services

Fintrano has changed the way we work. It saves us time, keeps customers happy, and makes every job run smoothly.

Jack McWilliam, McWilliam Electrical Services

It keeps that repeat custom with our existing customers. And I'm not spending hundreds of pounds on advertising when my customers' word of mouth is our advertising.

Ben, Made4Pressure

That’s what I love about it. I’m getting so many more reviews because I never ever asked before. I still don’t ask for reviews — but we just get them.

Lee Ives, Lives Electrical

Fintrano has transformed how we work and how our customers experience our service. It just makes everything smoother.

Keely-Ann, Window Pains MK

If you take Fintrano away, our customer experience would be a little bit less. And I don't want it to be a little bit less.

Gav, Coffee Central

Fintrano has made my life a lot easier and it’s making our customers’ experience better. It’s been a game changer for our business
