Built by trades,
for the trades.
Gaffer was born from frustration with clunky, expensive software. We're building something better.
The problem we saw
Our founder spent years building systems and websites for tradespeople—watching them wrestle with spreadsheets, lose track of leads, and chase late payments. The software options were either eye-wateringly expensive or painfully basic.
With experience from Shopify and deep expertise in AI and automation, we set out to build the job management software they deserved. Powerful but simple. Affordable but feature-rich. Built for what's next.
What we're building
Gaffer is more than software. It's a system that lets tradespeople focus on what they do best: their craft. We handle the admin, the scheduling, the invoicing, the chasing.
Today, thousands of contractors use Gaffer to run their operations. We're just getting started.
