Software for tradespeople and small trade businesses
Opeux is a suite of simple AI tools built for tradespeople who spend their day on the tools, not on a laptop. Quote new jobs in minutes, chase overdue invoices politely, see who is clocked in on which site, and keep a tidy register of vans, tools and equipment — all from one workspace and one bill.
The problem
Most trade businesses run on a mix of group chats, paper job sheets, a quoting Word document, a tatty notebook for materials and a spreadsheet that one person owns. Quotes go out late and lose work, invoices sit unpaid for months, timesheets are written from memory on a Sunday night, and tools go missing between vans. Buying an enterprise field-service platform feels like overkill, but doing nothing keeps costing real money in lost jobs, unpaid bills and missing kit.
How Opeux helps
Opeux gives a small trade business the few tools it actually needs, in one tidy workspace, without forcing a heavy rollout. Send branded quotes from a phone between jobs, chase overdue invoices on a polite schedule that AI drafts for you, run a live who-is-on-site board that turns into approved weekly timesheets, and keep an asset register that tells you which van each tool is on. Each tool is useful on its own — together they replace a stack of disconnected spreadsheets and a lot of Sunday admin.

From enquiry to paid invoice
A typical Opeux week for a small trade business — capture, quote, deliver and get paid without spending the evening on admin.

- 2.AI drafts the first reply and sets a follow-up date so the lead does not go cold.
- 3.The lead converts into a branded quote in Opeux Quotes, sent as a PDF and public link.
- 4.Staff clock in to the site each day in Opeux Clocks; timesheets generate automatically.
- 5.The won quote becomes an invoice in Opeux Invoices and chases itself politely until paid.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need separate apps for quotes, invoices and timesheets?
No. Opeux is one workspace and one bill — turn on the tools you need and ignore the rest.
Will my staff actually use it on a phone?
Yes. Every Opeux tool works on a phone browser, so staff can clock in, log usage and update jobs without installing anything.
Does it replace my accounting tool?
No. Opeux Invoices sits next to your accounting tool and handles the chasing it does badly.
How do customers see a quote?
They get a clean public link plus a downloadable PDF — no login required.
Can I track tools across vans?
Yes. Opeux Assets tracks each tool, where it is and who has it.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. Start free, upgrade when you outgrow the limits.
