What’s New at Locentra

When more than one tradie sends a formal quote for your job, your Jobs dashboard now shows each price right on their application card and lets you open a compare view — sorted cheapest first — so you can pick a tradie without digging through separate chats.

Tradies get a new dedicated stats page — see your leads-to-jobs funnel, completion rate, average rating, and credits spent by week, month, or all time, plus how close you are to unlocking your next Local Perks tier.

Tradies can now create a formal quote for a resident straight from the job chat, and send a proper tax invoice once a job is confirmed complete — itemised, with GST handled automatically, and delivered as a downloadable PDF the resident can open right there in the conversation.

Local Perks — discounts from local business partners — are no longer just for residents. Tradies now unlock the same offers as they build up their Locentra Score through completed jobs and reviews, right from a new Local Perks page in the tradie dashboard.

Reach Local Hero status (Level 3) to start unlocking ongoing discounts from local business partners — a new way Locentra rewards active residents, separate from your points.

Add Locentra to your home screen for quick access, just like a native app — no app store download required.

Share your personal referral link with friends. Once they sign up and complete their own first job, you'll earn reward points (residents) or bonus credits (tradies).

Get notified the moment a new job matching your trade is posted — instant push notifications plus a daily email digest of matching jobs. Manage alerts anytime from your profile.

Top-performing tradies now earn bonus credits and badges each week based on completed jobs and customer reviews.

Residents can now see a tradie's name, photo, rating, and trade category directly in the chat, plus a link to view their full portfolio.

Chat now updates instantly — see new messages and conversations without refreshing the page.

Tradies and residents now have quick access to helpful video guides and tips right from their dashboard.

Residents can now use Apple sign in for faster access.

Residents can now sign up and log in faster with Google.

Homeowners can now mark a preference for a female tradie when posting a job.
