The autonomous office for UK trades
Know your cut before the van leaves the driveway.
Corem8 runs the office around every job — lead, quote, dispatch, engineer split, invoice, review — and tells you what you actually made. Per job. Per engineer. Per ad campaign.
Card required through Stripe. Nothing is charged today — cancel before the trial ends and you pay nothing. Built by a working locksmith.

Proof, not promises
Corem8 runs the daily dispatch, engineer payouts and Google Ads reporting of the founder's own working UK locksmith operation. It was an office before it was a product.
The job's done. The customer paid. So what did you actually make?
Most trades businesses can't answer that until the spreadsheet gets opened at night — after the ads, the engineer's cut, the materials and the card fees have all taken their bite in different tools. The work is good. The office leaks.
- DispatchJobs handed out from a phone's call history and three WhatsApp groups.
- QuotesEstimates in one app, invoices in another, payments in a third.
- PayoutsEngineer splits worked out in a spreadsheet at nine o'clock at night.
- AdsGoogle Ads optimising toward phone calls — including the ones that never became jobs.
- ReviewsFinished jobs that should have become five-star proof, and never did.
One job, run end to end. Then it feeds the next one.
These aren't promises — they're the six stations every job passes through inside Corem8 today.
- 01
Lead in
Calls, SMS, email and web forms land in one place — with the source captured, down to the ad click that brought them.

Quote
Draft the estimate — Corem8 can suggest line items from your own job history — and the customer approves it from a link. No login, no chasing.

The split
The moment the job closes, the money is already divided: engineer's cut, materials, office margin. Percentage, fixed, hourly or salary — per engineer, with per-job overrides.

Invoice & payment
The invoice raises itself from the completed job. Send a payment link through Stripe or Square and watch the status, not your inbox.

Proof
A review request is drafted for you to approve and send. And the job's margin is reported back to Google Ads as the value of that conversion.

…and because Google Ads now knows which clicks became margin, your next ad pound goes where the profit was — not where the phone calls were.
Most software counts jobs. Corem8 counts what you kept.
Every completed job carries its own ledger: revenue, minus the engineer's payout, minus materials, minus the ad spend that bought the lead. That's your gross. Take off card fees and expenses and you have your net. Not at year end — the moment the job closes.
Splits work the way trades actually pay: percentage of the job, fixed fee, hourly, or salary — set per engineer, overridable per job, settled in payout runs you can hand to whoever does the books.
The differentiator
Your ad account learns your margin.
When a job completes, Corem8 uploads the conversion to Google Ads natively — with the office margin as its value, matched back to the original click. So campaigns stop being judged on phone calls and start being judged on profit.
Generic CRMs count the enquiry. Corem8 tells Google what the job was worth after the engineer was paid.
job complete → margin calculated → conversion uploaded with click ID → Google optimises toward margin
Built on the tools, not in a boardroom.
Corem8 was built by Dom — a locksmith with a decade on the tools, running dispatch and subcontractors in a working UK locksmith business. The software everyone told him to use could build a marketing funnel, but none of it could answer his actual question: what is 40% of this job, and what's left for the office after the ads?
So he built the office he needed — first for his own engineers, now for other UK trades. That's why the job split, the payout run and the margin-per-campaign aren't reports bolted on at the end. They're the spine of the product.

The questions we'd ask too.
Is this just another CRM?
No. CRMs count contacts and pipelines. Corem8 is organised around the job and its money: what it sold for, what the engineer's cut was, what the office kept, and which ad paid for it. The contact management is there — it's just not the point.
Who is it for?
UK trades businesses that dispatch engineers or subcontractors — locksmiths first, because that's where it was built, but the job-split model fits any dispatch-led trade. If you pay people a cut of the job, this was built for you.
How does the 14-day free trial work?
You sign up at corem8.io, choose a plan and add a card through Stripe during onboarding. Nothing is charged for 14 days, and if you cancel before the trial ends you pay nothing. The first 50 trade businesses are onboarded personally by the founder, who sets up your first real job with you.
What does it cost?
Plans are Solo £25, Starter £49, Growth £149 and Pro £299 a month, ex VAT. You choose your plan and add a card during onboarding; your card isn't charged until the 14-day trial ends, and you can cancel before then at no cost.
Do I have to rip out my existing tools?
No. Corem8 connects to the things a trades business already runs on — Google Ads, Stripe or Square for payments, SMS — and replaces the spreadsheet-and-WhatsApp layer in between.
Where does my data live?
In the UK-operated Corem8 platform, under UK GDPR. The full posture — hosting, sub-processors, deletion — is published on our security page, not hidden in a PDF.
