Does TradeBrain use AI agents?

Yes. Every TradeBrain partner gets a named AI agent that reads the business's inbox, task board and books, drafts quotes and customer replies, chases overdue invoices, reconciles e-transfers, screens applicants and prepares payroll. Anything that reaches a customer or staff member is approved by a human first. See tradebrain.ca/ai-agents-for-trades.

What does TradeBrain do?

TradeBrain handles the back-office operations of Canadian trade businesses: recruiting, HR, accounts receivable, scheduling and business systems, so owners can lead the business instead of running it day to day.

Who is TradeBrain for?

TradeBrain works with trade businesses across Canada: electrical contractors, cleaning companies, hospitality operators and service businesses that are growing but need operational support without hiring a full-time COO.

Where is TradeBrain based?

TradeBrain is based in Whistler, BC, Canada, and serves trade and service businesses across Canada remotely.

How does TradeBrain pricing work?

TradeBrain works like a fractional operations partner: you get the role without the cost of a full-time hire. Pricing is a flat monthly number scoped to your business on a free consultation.

Back-office operations for service businesses in BC

Your service business, running without you.

TradeBrain runs the money, the people and the admin for owner-run trade and service businesses. A small team and AI agents work every day, so invoices get collected, hires get made and the inbox gets answered, whether you're on a job site or not.

The four things that quietly run a trade business into the ground.

Every partner came to us with at least two of these. We take them over, build the system, and keep running it.

Money that isn't collected

Invoices out on time, overdue accounts chased every week, e-transfers matched to jobs, a monthly close you can read in five minutes.

Pricing that lives in your head

A real price sheet, quotes that go out the same day, and someone holding the line on margins when a customer pushes back.

Hiring that never sticks

Job posts, AI-screened applicants, interviews booked, contracts signed, onboarding done, and the monthly check-in that keeps good people.

An inbox only you can answer

Customer emails triaged and drafted, bookings and quote requests handled, receipts filed, so the phone stops running your day.

AI agents for service businesses

One agent per business. Working every day. A human signs off.

Reads your inbox, books and task list every morning, so you stop being the one who has to remember.
Does the recurring admin, from invoices and payroll prep to quotes and follow-ups, so you get your evenings back.
Asks before anything goes out, so nothing reaches a customer or your crew until a person says go.

Morning. Before the crew heads out: reminders are drafted for 3 overdue invoices, Thursday payroll is ready for 6 people with hours checked, and there's a reply ready for a new quote request in Squamish. Yesterday's books are closed.

Looks good, go.

His warmth, insight, creative problem-solving and genuine, practical support make him a pleasure to work with. Thanks to his work, we have scaled to be able to operate independently. I would recommend TradeBrain to any business, whether they believe they need support or not.

Kirsty

Operations & Admin Coordinator, Summit Hospitality

Don’t ever discount inviting in an outside perspective. A sounding board. A VA. A task maestro. A systems nerd. A friendly bearded man. Chad is quick to understand and listens well.

Kelvin

Owner, Summit Hospitality

TradeBrain’s understanding of how businesses SHOULD work has allowed me to systematize the business, hire more team members, bring on a virtual assistant, and free up some much-needed time for personal growth.

Scott

Owner, Sierra Property Services

The support TradeBrain provides is invaluable. In fact, I no longer feel the need to hire an assistant manager or office manager because of the confidence and structure he’s brought to my business.
