KEY DIFFERENCES

The main differences between GES & TradeHelp

Running your whole business on one platform

Gas Engineer Software connects quoting, scheduling, certificates, invoicing, payments and reminders into one system — and the customer history behind them joins up and builds in value year after year.

Quote, schedule, certify, invoice and get paid — all linked
Every job tied to the customer and their history
One system to run the business from, web and mobile

TradeHelp's free app is a handy toolkit for paperwork on the job — not one connected system your whole business runs on.

Keeping your diary full

Automatic service reminders bring repeat work back through the door. With Gas Engineer Software, 1 in 3 becomes a booked job and the average firm sees 37% more revenue in year one.

Reminders go out automatically on your book
1 in 3 turns into a booked job
37% average revenue increase in year one

On TradeHelp's free app you set each reminder by hand when you issue a record — Gas Engineer Software sends them automatically.

Connecting your flue gas analyser

Pair your Kane, Anton or TPI analyser over Bluetooth and your readings drop straight onto the record — no writing them out twice.

Readings auto-filled onto certificates
Kane, Anton & TPI supported
Fewer transcription mistakes on site

Boiler manuals with AI assist

2,300+ boiler manuals built into the app — and you can ask the manual a question and get a cited answer with the page number, instead of scrolling a PDF on a doorstep.

Find fault codes faster on site

TradeHelp has manuals, but no AI assist to help you find your answer in seconds.

Accounting your way

Gas Engineer Software syncs your invoices and payments straight to your accounts — Sage, Xero or QuickBooks — so the bookkeeping looks after itself instead of being re-keyed.

Native Sage, Xero & QuickBooks
Invoices and payments sync automatically
CIS & reverse charge ready

While TradeHelp Office PRO has accounting integrations, the free app won't provide any help with your bookkeeping.

Who it's for

TradeHelp's free app is a strong toolkit if you want no-cost paperwork, plus a buying group and customer finance under one roof. Gas Engineer Software is for the owner-led gas or heating business that wants one platform to run a streamlined business on.
