Our Story

Tradespeople have some of the most grueling and time-consuming tasks in the world. On top of the physical workload is the time spent on administration and finance. The quoting process is almost as tiresome as the work itself.

Thanks to the Plumbers behind the MPN Plumbing Price books and the flat-rate sales models from 1995, administration work became slightly less arduous. The demand for trade services has undeniably put a strain on the industry. For this reason, the team at MPN have joined forces with FlatRateNOW to develop a revolution in quoting and pricing that will save you time and money.

In 2016, the team at FlatRateNOW identified the need to bring pricing books into the current modern era and be able to continually update them with ease. Printed pricing books are no longer reliable with stock price increases and new technologies being regularly introduced.

That’s how our revolutionary app came to exist!

The Future Of FlatRateNOW

Moving forward, we will be expanding our app to include services such as:

  • HVAC
  • Solar & Battery
  • Rainwater & sceptic
  • Painting

We will also be extending our services to large industrial companies and conglomerates in an aim to standardise and regulate trade industries. One of the most prominent issues tradespeople face is losing track of job records or quotes due to the overwhelming amount of paperwork they carry.

Losing vital record leads to lousy customer relationships and damaged reputations. Lack of accountability leads to confusion around installed products, time and purpose. Misdirected quotes and fierce competition are all factors that make the job harder than it needs to be. FlatRateNOW prevents all this with automated digital record keeping.
