    GeoOp forms partnership with Tradebusters to help tradies be better at
    business
    
    Mobile workforce software company GeoOp (GEO) has formed a partnership with
    online business and consumer based marketplace Tradebusters(R) to help
    Australian tradespeople develop their business skills.
    
    The Tradebusters Academy is Australia's most trusted resource hub for
    tradies, offering advice, tips and forums on a range of topics from
    technology, marketing to business skills. GEO and Tradebusters will hold a
    series of webinars and local events across the country, with a focus on
    helping small operators deal with the demands of everyday business life.
    
    The goal of the Tradebusters Academy, which was created in 2014, is to be a
    "one-stop" resource that helps tradies streamline their work processes and
    grow their businesses. As well as being suitable for sole traders and
    businesses with more than 50 employees, the content is aimed at those people
    close to tradies - often partners or family members - who are brought in to
    help keep businesses running effectively.
    
    Tradebusters CEO Laorence Nohra says the academy plays an important role in
    helping tradies learn essential business skills.
    
    "Most tradies are great on the tools but struggle with the complexities of
    being a business owner and simply don't know where to start," Ms Nohra says.
    "The academy provides everything they need, from information on starting and
    growing their businesses, to online marketing help, automated solutions to
    help streamline their operations and how to connect with niche service
    providers that have a true passion in helping them grow their business.
    
    "What is interesting are the number of women - usually partners of tradies -
    who have become key service users of the academy. They are usually the ones
    behind the scenes dealing with compliance aspects, business administration,
    social media and online marketing."
    
    GEO's chief executive Anna Cicognani is excited about being involved with a
    resource that helps small businesses achieve better productivity. "GEO's
    suite of features are all about making businesses more efficient," Dr
    Cicognani says. "We're proud that GEO is easy to use, allows jobs to be
    tracked in real time, that customer details are available instantly and that
    we have integrations with fabulous navigation and accountancy software. We
    recently introduced GeoPay, which allows our clients' customers to pay them
    from anywhere on any device, securely and safely."
    
    "We know that we have a role in helping business managers and owners become
    better at what they do, so they can work better for their customers."
    
    Ms Nohra says Tradebusters and GEO share a mission to help great tradies
    succeed and build their brands as trusted and reputable business operators.
    "This partnership with GEO allows us to get even closer to tradies and help
    them with the entire automation aspects of their business, which is becoming
    more important in this digital age," Ms Nohra says.
