TradeYoke — one platform for trade service businesses, on every device

Q: How does a partnership with Assemblysoft work?

Assemblysoft builds firm, transparent client relationships. Each project is supported by a Technical Project Manager as your day-to-day point of contact, a Development Team with a blend of technical skills and communication, and a Client Engagement Manager ensuring alignment with your roadmap and business vision.

Q: What are Assemblysoft's terms of payment?

Projects are generally paid for weekly based on the technical resources being used and features being built within a specific development phase. Assemblysoft shares a live project development plan and works in an agile manner, keeping clients in control of priorities. Payment terms are flexible and can be adapted to suit each client.

Q: Do you provide knowledge transfer?

Yes. Assemblysoft provides demonstrations and supporting documentation to nominated individuals within your business to ensure the success and longevity of every project.

Q: Do you provide visual design services?

Yes. Assemblysoft can operate as a one-stop shop or work with your existing designer. We produce mock designs based on your vision, turn designs into working prototypes, and integrate UI/UX into the codebase with meticulous attention to responsiveness, branding, and user experience.

Q: Why is Blazor and Azure such a good combination?

Blazor integrates seamlessly with Azure services such as Azure Functions, Cosmos DB, and Azure SQL. Blazor Server runs on Azure's scalable hosting, Blazor WebAssembly is ideal for Azure Static Web Apps, and Azure Active Directory handles authentication and authorisation. Azure DevOps automates the full CI/CD lifecycle for Blazor applications. Together they offer a powerful, scalable, and efficient platform for building modern web applications.

Q: What does your typical client look like?

Assemblysoft works across the board — large organisations, medium-sized businesses, and startups — but the majority of work is with SMEs. All clients share an ambition to deliver a well-architected, secure, robust, and performant solution.

Q: Where do Assemblysoft's technical strengths lie?

Assemblysoft is a full-stack team with an enterprise software development and architecture background. Core specialisms include: Microsoft Azure (certified Solutions Architects and Developers), .NET Blazor (Server, WebAssembly, and .NET MAUI Blazor Hybrid), Azure DevOps Services, cross-platform mobile with .NET MAUI, ASP.NET Core Web APIs, Windows Desktop (UWP, WPF, WinForms), and .NET Aspire for cloud-native workloads.

TradeYoke is a modular trade-services platform engineered by Assemblysoft: rounds, jobs, payments, dashboards and customer messaging for trades like window cleaning — delivered as a Blazor web application and as native iOS, Android and Windows apps with .NET MAUI Blazor Hybrid, all from one .NET codebase.

The platform

Built as modules, shipped as one product

TradeYoke is architected as a modular platform: each trade (window cleaning first) and each capability — scheduling, payments, dashboards, notifications, even its arcade mini-game — is a self-contained module with its own permissions, navigation and services, activated per tenant and per subscription tier. New trades and features land without touching the core, and every module runs identically on the web app and the mobile apps because they share one component codebase.

Rounds, jobs & scheduling

Recurring rounds and one-off jobs with route-friendly day plans — the daily operating rhythm of a trade business, designed for one-handed use in the field.

Payments & invoicing

Job completion flows straight into payment collection and customer records, so cash stops leaking between "done" and "paid".

Dashboards & activity

A live activity feed and per-tenant dashboards surface payments, completions and problems as they happen — the same feed the Squeegee Rush title screen showcases.

Notifications

Server-driven notifications keep owners and crews in sync across every device they use, from the van to the office.

Tenancy, tiers & permissions

Multi-tenant from day one, with per-module permissions in a canonical scheme and features gated by subscription tier.

Gamification module

Squeegee Rush — a full arcade mini-game with scores, combos, upgrades and a leaderboard — ships inside TradeYoke as an opt-in engagement module, branded with each tenant's own company livery.

The engineering

One codebase. Every device.

The platform is built entirely on Microsoft .NET and Blazor. On the web it runs as an interactive Blazor application; on iOS, Android and Windows the same components ship as native apps via .NET MAUI Blazor Hybrid — the approach we've delivered to the app stores before for the medical sector. Performance-critical interactions (like the game's pointer-driven scrubbing) run client-side in JavaScript with discrete callbacks into .NET, so the experience stays smooth on every host. Azure provides identity, storage, messaging and telemetry, with server-authoritative business rules so tenant data stays consistent across devices.

You can see one of its modules running right now: the gamification module is embedded, live and playable, on our gamification services page — prerendered for instant first paint, then upgraded to full interactivity.
