How Burdi Helps Business Owners Streamline Operations and Reduce Admin |
Running a trade business can sometimes feel like juggling a dozen jobs at once. You’re chasing suppliers, trying to keep pricing up to date, training new staff, quoting for jobs, and still needing time to focus on the work itself. It’s no wonder many owners feel stuck in the admin instead of growing their business.
That’s exactly why Burdi was built — to take away the manual grind, connect systems, and give owners back the clarity and control they need.
Burdi wasn’t designed in a boardroom. It was created by Joel, an electrician who wanted a smarter way to run his own electrical business. Because of that, every feature has been shaped around the realities of trade work.
Joel still uses Burdi day-to-day in his own business, which means the platform continues to evolve based on real-world needs, not just theory.
One of the biggest headaches for trade business owners is keeping track of purchases. Prices change, suppliers send endless invoices, and it’s hard to know whether every dollar is accounted for.
With Burdi, owners can:
Manage all purchases in one place
Monitor supplier pricing live to stay on top of changes
Set up and maintain bundles that feed directly into quotes and invoices
This makes it easy to standardise pricing, avoid underquoting, and keep margins healthy.
Having all your financial data in one place is powerful. Burdi gives owners detailed reporting tools that provide visibility over profitability, expenses, and business performance.
Rather than relying on gut instinct or chasing spreadsheets, you can see the numbers clearly — and make smarter decisions.
Every new hire comes with the challenge of training. Without systems, it can take weeks for someone to settle into their role. Burdi changes that.
Because processes are already built into the platform, new staff can be “up and running quickly with minimal downtime.” Owners don’t need to spend hours training them on how things should be done — Burdi guides the way.
Business ownership isn’t just about managing today’s work; it’s also about thinking ahead. Burdi supports owners beyond the software through the Passport Lounge, a weekly space where Passport Holders can join expert-led discussions and connect with other business owners.
It’s a chance to get advice, share challenges, and gain ideas that directly impact your bottom line.
Burdi is more than just software. For business owners, it’s like having a silent partner that keeps the back office running, flags issues before they become problems, and gives you confidence that the numbers are right.
With less time lost to admin, you get more time back to focus on growth, staff, and customers.
