We learn your business
A quick call. What you do, where you work, what a good job looks like for you.
About · The founders
We're not tradies. Here's why that's a good thing.
Every competitor says they understand your business because they ARE tradies. We can't win that fight — and we don't need to. We're outsiders who actually listened, built something that works, and have nothing to hide.
- Honesty
- No lock-in
- Simple
- Transparent

Systems · Engineering
Ran kitchens for a decade. 400 covers, half the staff, middle of a heatwave — nothing got dropped. That's not cooking. That's systems under pressure. Now he builds the systems that do the same thing for trade businesses.

Brand · Marketing
Brings the brand, the marketing eye, and the human side. She's the reason Freetide doesn't feel like software built by engineers.
Why we built Freetide
Our best mates are tradies.
That's the whole story.
Sparkies. Concreters. Chippies. We've watched them miss calls on-site, spend their Sundays chasing quotes that go nowhere, and lose jobs to blokes with worse work but better Google reviews.
We built Freetide because we were sick of watching good tradies get beaten by bad systems. Not because we thought tradies needed more software — because we saw smart, hard-working people losing jobs to problems that shouldn't exist in 2026.
The trades aren't a small corner of the economy. In Australia it's a $141.8B market — 2.7 million homeowners and tradies finding each other every year. That gap, between how good these businesses are and the tools they're handed, is the whole reason we exist.
Missed calls while on the tools
Hours wasted on people who were never going to book
No reviews even though the work was great
Paying for ads with no idea what was working
“We don't know how to pour a slab. But we know how to make sure the bloke who does never misses another job.
How we work · done-for-you
Three steps. That's it.
We build your system
We set everything up — website, phone, Google presence, job intake. You don't touch a thing.
You get qualified jobs
Leads come in, we filter them, you get the ones worth calling.
Typical setup · 7–14 daysDone for you — not done by you
The shift is already happening
40%
of Australian SMEs already use AI — productivity is the payoff they name most. The early movers get the head start.
What we believe
Principles. Not promises.
If it's not working, we'll tell you.
No hiding behind dashboards and jargon. If something needs to change, we say it.
We only win when you do.
No lock-in contracts. No setup fees for things that don't fit. Our incentive is your results.
Simple beats clever.
Tradies don't need a 47-feature platform. They need a system that works while they're on the tools.
Show everything, hide nothing.
You can see exactly what's running, what it costs, and what it's doing. Full transparency.
