TRADEFIT

The easiest merchant wins.


The trade aren't trying to use your website.

They're trying to get a job done. Whether they're pricing a project at 6am, checking stock from a van, chasing a delivery from site or downloading an invoice at the end of the month, every interaction either makes life easier or creates friction.

TradeFit assesses how effectively your business supports the things customers are actually trying to achieve.

INTENT FRAMEWORK

Trade customers do not experience your business in channels.


They experience it in moments of need. A customer is in a van, on site, at the counter, in front of a homeowner or chasing paperwork at the end of the month. Every mission either feels easy or creates friction.

Measure the mission

We assess the real things customers need to complete, not just the technology or channels you provide.

Find the friction

We identify where customers are forced to phone, email, queue, chase, repeat themselves or wait for answers.

Prioritise the fix

We rank the opportunities by customer value, frequency, effort, cost-to-serve and commercial impact.
