ProWorks is a type of job management software solution that helps UK tradespeople and contractors manage jobs, quotes, scheduling, timesheets, costs, and invoicing from a single platform. It is designed specifically for trades such as electricians, plumbers, builders, and other field-based professionals who need to organise work, track progress, and handle administrative tasks efficiently. ProWorks works in web browsers on both desktop and mobile devices and incorporates smart tools to automate routine workflows.
Core Functionality and Workflow

- Project oversight: Builders and contractors can group related jobs under larger projects, coordinate subcontractors, and compare actual costs against budgets in real time.
Platform Characteristics
- Web-based access: No app download required; works across browsers on different devices.
- UK tax and compliance: Includes features relevant to UK tax rules and construction schemes like CIS.
- AI tools: Automatic extraction of material costs from invoices and assistance in creating job descriptions and quotes reduces repetitive admin.
