GES FOR SOLE TRADERS

For the gas engineer who is the whole business

For less than £32 a month, Gas Engineer Software takes the paperwork off your plate. Stop spending your evenings on admin, and fill your diary with repeat business from automated service reminders. 

  • Saves sole traders 6.6+ hours per week
  • Quick & easy setup
  • Free demo & onboarding

Ideal for one-person businesses

When you’re juggling jobs, admin, and calls…

There’s no one to catch what slips. Without a system in place, many engineers find themselves working all day only to come home to a pile of paperwork.

GES streamlines the admin so certificates, invoices, payments and reminders get done without a second thought.

Every part of the job stays connected, on track, and in one place.

BRING EVERYTHING TOGETHER

On site

Everything you need on site, in your pocket

Your schedule, the customer's history, every certificate and the calculators you use most are all on your phone.

It works in a loft with no signal, and everything syncs the moment you're back online. No paperwork to bring home, nothing to write up later.

  • Every certificate, done on site

    Fill it in on your phone, get it signed, and send it to the customer before you've packed the van.

Between jobs

Run the office from the van

There's no one back at base to take the booking, write the quote or update the customer. It all happens between jobs, on the phone, usually while you're still on someone's drive.

GES makes each of those a couple of taps instead of a job for the evening.

  • Book the next job while you're still on this one

    Take the call, see your week and drop the job straight into a free slot. Syncs everything to your personal calendar.

Getting paid

Get paid quicker, with less faff

Once you've done the job, you shouldn't have to start chasing up payments.

GES helps quickly turn finished work into invoices, gives customers an easy way to pay, chases the ones who don't, and keeps your accounting software up to date so the books aren't a weekend job.

  • Invoice on site and take payment by link

    Send a payment link or show a QR code before you leave, so a lot of jobs are paid before you're back in the van.

ALL FEATURES

All-In-One Software For Heating & Plumbing Businesses

Frequently asked questions

Got a question we haven't covered? Talk to our team.

Is Gas Engineer Software good for sole traders?

Yes. A big share of heating and plumbing businesses are one-person outfits, and the software is built to work for them as well as for teams. It's easy to pick up, works offline, and there's a UK-based support team on the phone if you get stuck. Working on your own doesn't mean sorting it out on your own.

What does a sole trader actually need software for?

Every part of the business rests on you, and the paperwork isn't the part that pays. The features sole traders lean on most are the gas certificates, quoting and invoicing from the phone, and the automatic service and payment reminders. Going digital also means your records are backed up and searchable without you filing anything.

Which plan is best for a sole trader?

Most sole traders land on Core or Pro. Core covers the day-to-day: certificates, quoting, invoicing, online payments, your calendar and automated service reminders. Pro adds the accounting integrations for Xero, QuickBooks and Sage, Boiler AI Assist, AI quoting and invoicing, and appointment confirmations.

The 14-day trial gives you everything, so you can work out which one you need before you pay. Compare the plans here.

What happens if I lose signal on site?

The app works offline. You can still see your day, open a job and fill in a certificate. It saves to your phone and syncs the moment you've got signal again, so nothing gets lost.

Will I get on with it if I'm not that techy?

If you can use WhatsApp, you can use GES. You also get a free onboarding call to get set up properly from the start.

I'm on paper pads or another app. Is it a pain to switch?

No. If you've got a customer list from another system, get in touch and our team will import it for you during onboarding, so you're not typing it all in again. Coming off paper, most sole traders are up and running the same week.

What support and training do I get?

You run your business on this, so support is one of our highest priorities. Ring us on 0207 129 7058, email support@gasengineersoftware.co.uk, or use the live chat. We're here Monday to Friday, 9 to 5, and we'll return any missed calls outside those hours.

You can also book a personalised demo with one of the team.

What if I take on an engineer later?

You add a user for them and carry on. Nothing needs rebuilding and nothing gets moved across. Plenty of GES customers started on their own and now run a van or two. See how engineer-led teams use GES.
