Service plans are a great way to generate ongoing revenue, but it’s not always easy to set these up. 

Our new desktop platform gives engineers a one stop solution, with professional and personalised documents, terms and conditions, and simple direct debit set-up, all available at the touch of a button.

Not only that, but we provide a full suite of marketing materials (at no extra cost) to help you advertise the availability of plans to your customers.

How does it work?

Within TradeHelp Office HeatPRO you can personalise your documents and set your own pricing.  A plan is created in seconds by selecting the preferred option, including any add-on items such as a Landlord’s Gas Safety Certificate or Gas Cooker Safety Check, then choosing a start date. Your customer receives a professional plan via email and a personal, electronic sign-up link. This can be signed instantly and connects directly to an online direct debit mandate. You can then manage each subscription and view the monthly payment through the easy-to-use software.

How do I start?

The service plan software is available in the HeatPRO upgrade of TradeHelp’s new desktop software ‘TradeHelp Office’.

New users can sign up through the link below and current TradeHelp members simply log in using the same credentials for the mobile app.  There’s a free trial to explore the software, after which the subscription costs £25+vat per month (no payment details are taken for the trial though, and there is no minimum term and no commitment).

The upgrade also boasts integration with Quickbooks and Xero, remote appointments by video link, an online tool to provide instant quotes and generate leads via your website, and all users can join the free TradeHelp Buying Group and apply to offer customer finance.

There is no limit on entries, the more boilers installed, registered and connected to the internet, the more opportunities to win each month. A winner will be selected at random and announced after each month.

• Register your interest for the promotion. If you have not previously registered for a promotion with Viessmann, please open this email and reply ‘YES’ to allow us to share your details with Viessmann.  Your local rep will then be in touch to provide further information. If you have already registered through TradeHelp you do not need to do this.

TradeHelp Network Growth

Over the past year the TradeHelp Network has seen huge growth, with results doubling those forecast when launching our app in September 2017.

More members in the network has led to increased buying power, leveraging further discounts and sparking interest from new supply chain partners.

This exciting success has enabled us to further develop the app and begin our expansion into multi-trade, with new bathroom functionality being launched this November.

The New TradeHelp App

The new TradeHelp app release will include options for bathroom installations as well as all the original heating tools and benefits.

Boasting a new bathroom quote tool, installers will now be able to create detailed bathroom plans in their customers’ homes using the simple drag and drop technology.

“The new software has been designed to create professional quotes and plans in just minutes.  You simply create your room layout, add doors, windows and any obstructions before selecting your chosen bathroom suite items and positioning them within the room. Sundry items, additional works and pricing can then be edited before emailing to the customer along with the Terms and Conditions provided.”  Martin Jones, TradeHelp MD

Interest Free Finance

Installers can also benefit from offering customers the option of 0% finance through the app.  TradeHelp charge nothing to broker the finance for the first 6 jobs in each year, and provide free, over the phone, training.  Simply refer the customer to us through the app and we will take care of the application for you, notifying you when the job is ready to be installed.

Purchasing Savings

Finally, the new tool also allows installers to access special offers and discounts on bathroom suites and associated products from nationwide merchants.  Join the TradeHelp Buying Group for free within the app and a member of the team will talk you through the options available in your area.

The TradeHelp Buying Group now offers discounts and savings from 19 supply chain partners in the heating, plumbing and bathroom industry. There is no cost and no commitment.

Construction Marketing Awards

The Construction Marketing Awards recognise marketing excellence across the built environment, raising the profile of the construction sector’s marketing professionals and their achievements.

CIB have been shortlisted in the ‘Best Product Launch’ and ‘Best Use of Press and Public Relations’ categories for the campaign to promote the TradeHelp app during its launch September 2017.

TradeHelp and CIB

When launching our app in 2017, CIB advised a product launch to kick start the campaign.  Over 6 months of consistent exposure followed resulting in double the network growth originally forecast for the first year.  Our Buying Group also benefited greatly, with the increased buying power of the network leveraging further discounts and sparking interest from new supply chain partners.

The exciting growth led to further development of the app and the expansion into bathrooms which we recently launched at a second event just a few weeks ago (read the story of our bathroom launch event.)  And it doesn’t stop here!  2019 will see TradeHelp offer free benefits to an even wider audience as we branch into multi-trade.

The Awards

The awards ceremony is taking place at the Hilton London Bankside on Thursday 29^th November and we wish CIB all the very best for a successful evening!

Press Launch

Members of the heating and bathroom press joined us at London’s Duck and Waffle for a special preview of the new TradeHelp Bathroom App which will be available from next month.

After enjoying the breathtaking views from the 40th floor with a cocktail or two (and building their own lego bathrooms!) the guests enjoyed a short presentation before tucking into a fabulous lunch at the iconic restaurant.

TradeHelp founders, Martin and Nell Jones, reviewed the impressive growth of the Network since the launch of its heating app in September 2017 and the exciting development planned for the future including expansion into multi-trade.  Project Manager, Sophie Hedgecoe, then lead the group through a demonstration of the new bathroom app which, along with all the original benefits, now boasts a bathroom quote tool with professional room planning software.

A big thank you to all those that attended.  Watch this space for more news on the release of the bathroom app!
