Built around you

We adapt our platform to your business.
Not the other way around.

This isn't generic software with your logo bolted on. The way WorkLane behaves changes to match how your business already runs — not the other way around.

01

Your trades, your categories

Add, rename or delete the trade categories you tag jobs and staff with — WorkLane doesn't force a fixed list on you.

02

Your job numbering

Set your own prefix, separator and padding for job references — letters, numbers, or both, formatted the way your team already talks about jobs.

03

Your client pricing rules

Set a markup or discount per client, and choose whether it flows into billable costs too — not just quoted prices.

04

Your workflow, your rules

Decide whether field staff can mark jobs completed themselves, whether the schedule shows weekends — toggle it to match how your team actually works.

05

Your invoice defaults

Set your VAT rate and payment terms once — applied automatically to every invoice from then on.

06

Your notification rules

Choose exactly which events trigger an email to staff and managers — nothing you don't want, nothing missing.

It already works out of the box for plumbers, electricians, roofers, landscapers, property maintenance, council contractors and solar installers — and configures further from there. On a free onboarding call, we'll set it up your way.

The numbers

Admin isn't free.
It just feels that way.

Most contractors underestimate how much time — and money — disappears into scheduling, chasing, and paperwork every week.

Who it's for

Built for the trades.
All of them.

WorkLane works for any business that sends people out to do jobs. Here's how different trades use it.

🔧
Plumbing & Heating
Problem:Jobs booked on WhatsApp, parts costs lost, invoices weeks late.
WorkLane:Log every callout, snap parts receipts on-site, invoice the same day the job closes.
Electrical Contractors
Problem:Certificates stored in inboxes, H&S docs not reaching the team.
WorkLane:Attach EICR templates and risk assessments to every job. Field staff see them before they arrive.
🏠
Roofing
Problem:Managing 10 crews via text, no idea who's doing what or where.
WorkLane:Assign crews, track job status live, and get photo evidence uploaded from the roof.
🌿
Landscaping
Problem:Seasonal surge means jobs fall through the cracks.
WorkLane:Dashboard shows every open job at a glance. Nothing gets missed at peak.
🏢
Property Maintenance
Problem:Multiple landlords, multiple sites, full address history needed per property.
WorkLane:Property records with full job history per address. Every visit, cost and photo in one place.
☀️
Solar & Renewables
Problem:Long install jobs need detailed cost tracking and milestone sign-off.
WorkLane:Log materials and labour per phase, attach H&S docs, get customer sign-off on completion.
🏛️
Council & Social Housing
Problem:High job volumes, strict SLAs, audit trails demanded by procurement teams.
WorkLane:Full job history per property, timestamped updates, photo evidence and H&S compliance — everything councils ask for, ready when they ask.

Data protection

Your client data is yours.
Full stop.

Contractors trust us with their most sensitive information — client records, job histories, financial data. Here's exactly how it's protected.

01

Complete data isolation

Every company on WorkLane lives in its own walled partition. Your clients, jobs and financials are technically invisible to every other company — enforced at the database level using Row Level Security, not just application code. Even if our app had a bug, one customer's data cannot leak into another's.

02

Encrypted everywhere

All data is encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.2+). Your passwords are hashed, never stored. Authentication tokens are short-lived and scoped to your session only. No plaintext data ever touches a disk or travels over a network unprotected.

03

Role-based access control

Field staff only see jobs assigned to them. Finance sees invoicing but not staff management. Every API call checks the caller's role before returning any data — it's impossible for a field operative to see financial figures or another company's records.

04

Hosted on Supabase (SOC 2 certified)

WorkLane runs on Supabase, which is SOC 2 Type II certified and fully GDPR-compliant. Your data is stored in ISO 27001-certified data centres and undergoes regular independent security audits.

05

Full audit trail

Every action on every job is permanently logged — who did what and when. Status changes, cost additions, reassignments, file uploads. If there's ever a dispute with a client or insurer, you have an unalterable timestamped record.

06

We never sell your data

Your data is never sold, rented, or shared with advertisers. When you use the AI import feature, only your column headers are processed — never the actual records. We make money from the software subscription, not by monetising your clients' information.

Questions about how your data is handled?

We're happy to walk through our security practices in detail.
