Referral partner programme

Know a tradie drowning in paperwork? Earn $100 for pointing them our way.

Work Flow Trade is job-management software for New Zealand trade businesses, built by someone who runs one. If you are an accountant, bookkeeper or adviser, you already know which of your clients would be better off with it. This programme pays you for the introduction. You are recommending useful software to people you know, not selling anything.

What Work Flow Trade does

  • Scheduling and dispatch for the whole crew
  • Jobs, quotes and invoices in one place
  • Timesheets, leave and job costs
  • Inventory and purchase orders
  • A customer portal that books work
  • One flat monthly price, unlimited users

Who it suits

  • Trade businesses with roughly 2 to 20 staff
  • Plumbers, electricians, builders, painters, HVAC, landscapers, locksmiths, security
  • Owners still running jobs from a phone, a diary and a spreadsheet
  • Businesses paying per user elsewhere and tired of it

How the programme works

  1. 1

    You get a personal link

    Share it, or type a client's name and email into your dashboard and we send them one short invitation that names you. No follow-ups, ever.

  2. 2

    They sign up

    The signup form shows "Referred by" your business, so they know. They get a free month, then pay the normal monthly price.

  3. 3

    Three paid months, then 30 days

    Once they have paid for three months and stayed on for a further 30 days, the referral is confirmed.

  4. 4

    We pay you $100

    GST inclusive, per business, by bank transfer after we approve it. No cap on how many you can refer.

How referrals are tracked

Your link and your emailed invitations are both recorded against you. If a client you invited signs up within 30 days, even without clicking, it still counts. First introduction wins, so nobody can jump in front of you. Your dashboard shows every referral and its status in plain English: registered, trial active, paying, qualification pending, qualified, awaiting payment, paid.

What you see, and what you don't

You see a business's name and whether they are trialling or paying. Never their jobs, customers, staff or money. The business is told that you can see this, and can ask us to hide its name. We never ask you for anything about your clients beyond a name and an email to invite them.

Being upfront

Because you are paid for the recommendation, you should tell any client you recommend us to. Many accountants' and bookkeepers' professional codes require this, and it is simply good practice. When you join, you confirm that you are permitted to receive referral payments and that you will disclose them. If you are GST-registered, the $100 includes GST and we will need a tax invoice from you before paying.

Invitation only, for now

We are starting with people we know. If you have been given a link, use it to set up your account. If you would like to be invited, email us and tell us a little about who you work with.
