Track, complete, and pay

Track, complete, and pay

Chat with the provider, approve changes, and view on-site updates. A small booking fee - processed via secure payment - confirms your booking. Your provider then quotes and invoices you directly for the job.

The booking fee keeps Mendly running and your booking protected. Mendly does not hold or release any job payments. Invoices, photos, and compliance documents stay stored in your Mendly hub for future reference.

Tailored experiences for every role

Clients get clarity and convenience. Service Providers get a command centre built for growth. Community Providers get discovered without the paperwork. Estates get their neighbours’ recommendations recorded, not lost. One platform, four dedicated journeys.

For Clients

Secure, transparent, and effortless bookings. Manage every service - from electrical work to landscaping - in one unified dashboard.

  • Rated providers with clear pricing before you confirm
  • Live job timeline with instant status updates
  • Booking fee via secure checkout - your provider quotes and invoices you directly
  • Store warranties, documents, and job history for future visits

For Service Providers

A business cockpit designed for artisans and trade teams. Fill your pipeline, manage schedules, and get paid on time.

  • Smart job matching and repeat client relationships
  • Built-in scheduling, reminders, and team assignments
  • Digital quotes, invoices, and secure payments
  • Performance analytics to scale your business with confidence

For Community Providers

Independent and informal workers get discovered fast, without the paperwork a formal business needs. Sign up with a phone number and start taking jobs from clients nearby.

  • Sign up with just a phone number - no CIPC, no email, no CV
  • Set your own price on every job request, no bidding wars
  • Ratings build automatically as you complete jobs, no vouching needed
  • Get paid directly by the client - Mendly never holds or releases job payments

For Estates

For committees who want the recommendations already happening in their WhatsApp group to stick, instead of disappearing by the next morning.

  • Recommendations always come from a neighbour, never from the estate
  • One message per tradesman, and only with your written consent on file
  • Opt-out honoured permanently, across every channel
  • A quarterly summary you post into your own group
