Same Tradecraft Network. Activate your company @handle, post overflow, and keep inbound jobs on the Leads you already use.
Overflow coverage
Too far, too full, or outside the trade. Invite nearby shops you trust and keep the job with someone you chose.
Invited work from other shops
When another shop invites your @handle, the work lands on the Leads you already use.
Won work in Service Socket
The winner job is yours. Dispatch and invoice from the OS you already run.
Your name on the work
Build your name. Put your experience to work.
Every member is a business @handle. Your trade, experience, credentials, region, and availability help contractors understand where you fit.
