The Scheduling Struggle Every Trades Business Knows
If you run a trades business, you know schedules are everything. Most of us start out with Google Calendar or Outlook. They’re fine for basic jobs, but as your team grows, so does the chaos. Double bookings, missed jobs, and endless back-and-forth become part of the daily grind. Suddenly, what used to work just isn’t cutting it.
Introducing Intrflex: Scheduling, Sorted
Intrflex was built to take the headache out of job scheduling for trades teams. It’s more than a digital diary. It’s your control centre for getting every job, tech, and task organised. No more cobbling together calendars, spreadsheets, and job sheets. With Intrflex, you get a clear, all-in-one view. Schedules, jobs, resources, and teams are all in one place, right on your phone or desktop.
Who Benefits from Better Scheduling? Everyone.
Intrflex isn’t just for the person in the office. It’s designed for everyone on your team:

Make Every Minute Count
The old way of scheduling wastes time, yours and your team’s. Intrflex lays out who’s doing what, when, and for how long. Need to build in travel time or buffer between jobs? Easy. Need to shift jobs on the fly? One click and everyone’s updated. Less confusion, more work done, and fewer mistakes.
Location-Based Scheduling Because Time Isn’t Everything
In trades, jobs aren’t just about when. They’re about where. Intrflex lets you plan jobs by location so you can group site visits, cut down travel, and spend less time stuck in traffic. Whether you’re running a plumbing firm, cleaning crew, landscaping team, or construction business, this means smoother days and lower costs.
Fast Changes, No Panic
We all know things change. Someone’s off sick, a client cancels, or an urgent job pops up. With Intrflex, changes are quick and clear. Drag, drop, update. Your team gets notified instantly. No more “I didn’t get the memo.”
Tailored for Your Trade
Every business has its quirks. That’s why Intrflex can handle complex crew setups, recurring jobs, equipment bookings, and more. Whether you’re running a cleaning rota, scheduling installs, or keeping tabs on multiple job sites, Intrflex adapts to fit your way of working.
Payroll, HR, and Scheduling All Connected
Scheduling isn’t just about jobs. It’s about your people too. Intrflex connects the dots between scheduling, timesheets, and payroll. Hours worked, overtime, and holidays are automatically tracked and ready for payroll. Less admin, fewer errors, and your team gets paid right.
Real Trades, Real Results
Don’t just take our word for it. Plumbing firms have cut admin by 40 percent. Landscaping companies see fewer mistakes and happier customers. When your schedule runs smoothly, your whole business feels the benefit.
