Staying organised when your'e busy can be a struggle

Paperwork

Ok, so everyone isn't this bad... but sometimes notes, receipts, orders and the rest can get lost in the chaos that is a busy tradie's life. Wouldn't it be great to keep it all in one place, easy to refer back to when needed? This is all possible with the Tradie Diary.

CUT THE CONFUSION

Keeping track
