"
I constantly asked myself: "Am I actually making money on this job?"
I spent years running a painting business in Australia, using spreadsheets, multiple apps, and way too much time on admin. After building Trackexa for my own business and seeing how much time and stress it saved me, I realised other tradespeople were facing the exact same frustrations.
Trackexa is designed from the ground up with the real challenges of running a service-based business in mind. It's not theoretical — it's built on years of practical experience in the field.

Founder & Painting Business Operator, Cairns
Built by a Tradie, for Tradies
1
The problem was real
Spreadsheets, three different apps, and hours of admin every week. No clear way to know if a job was actually profitable until it was already done.
2
Built it for himself first
Joel built Trackexa to run his own painting business in Cairns. The result: less time on admin, more visibility on every job, and smarter quoting from day one.
3
Other tradies needed it too
The same problems showed up everywhere — painters, plumbers, electricians, cleaners. Trackexa was opened up so every tradie could run a smarter business.
4
Built for Australia, natively
GST breakdowns, Australian financial year reporting, and BAS-friendly income views. Not an afterthought — built in from the very beginning.
