R&S Trade Centre and Automate The Trades Partnership

A Christchurch trade supplier for materials, equipment, hire, and trade purchasing around the jobs you already run in ATT.

If you already use ATT, R&S Trade Centre is not another lead source. It fits further into delivery: supplying products, equipment, hire, and trade-account purchasing around the jobs you are already quoting, scheduling, and invoicing in ATT.

Workflow

How R&S Trade Centre Can Support Jobs You Run In ATT

01

You quote and win the job in ATT

ATT remains the place where you manage enquiries, quotes, booked jobs, schedules, and invoices.

02

You source materials, equipment, or hire through R&S Trade Centre

R&S Trade Centre is set up around trade supply categories like paint, plaster, abrasives, masking, ladders, scaffold, sprayers, sanders, safety, and hire products.

03

You keep delivery and admin connected

The practical value is having a supply and equipment partner around the work you are already managing in ATT, especially when speed, product availability, or trade-account support matters.

When R&S Trade Centre Is Worth Adding to ATT

ATT users doing regular paint and plaster work

If ATT already runs your quoting and job admin, R&S Trade Centre can be relevant as a practical supply partner around the work itself.

ATT users who need more than just paint

The platform goes beyond coatings into plaster tools, scaffold, ladders, sanders, sprayers, safety gear, surface protection, and hire, which makes it more useful than a narrow paint-only supplier.

ATT users operating in Christchurch

Its branch footprint, freight messaging, and local trade-service positioning make it especially relevant for Christchurch-based businesses or teams working nearby.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

ATT users doing regular painting, plastering, decorating, or building work are the clearest fit, especially if they want a broader trade-supply relationship rather than buying products ad hoc from multiple places.

It solves the supply and equipment side. ATT already handles quoting and job admin, while R&S Trade Centre can support the materials, consumables, equipment, scaffold, and hire needs around the work itself.

No. ATT remains the place for quoting, scheduling, job tracking, and invoicing. R&S Trade Centre is useful as a trade supplier and operational support partner around the jobs you are already running.

Its site is positioned around a wider trade-centre model: painting and plastering supplies, ladders and scaffold, power tools, safety, surface protection, hire, and trade-account support rather than a single narrow product category.

ATT stays as your operating system. You would still use ATT to quote the work, manage the job, and invoice the client, while R&S Trade Centre supports the supply and equipment side of delivery.
