Vivid Trades

An early-launch contractor operations product with a clearly stated 30-day export window but very little public operating record so far.

This file records what was documented in reviewed public sources on 2026-08-31. It is not a security certification, a legal opinion, or a recommendation. Where something is marked not verified, it means we looked and did not find it publicly — not that it is absent or deficient.

Public operating signals

The identified official LinkedIn account was very small, and the identified Facebook account showed limited recent activity and mainly reactions rather than substantive comments. This is an early operating signal, not a product-quality conclusion.

Pricing, contract, security & exit

Pricing
Monthly and annual terms documented; public tier pricing not verified
Contract
30-day post-termination customer-data export window stated
Security
Vendor privacy material describes HTTPS, access controls, workspace isolation, and optional mobile biometrics. No independent certification was located.
Data exit
Export tools are available for 30 days after termination. Complete file coverage and formats need confirmation.

Third-party assurance

Third-party assurance not located in reviewed public sources

No matching public CSA STAR, TrustPartners, trust-center, SOC 2, or ISO evidence was located under the reviewed names. Vivid Security is a different company and its certifications do not apply here.

Documented capabilities

  • Jobs, scheduling, purchase orders, inventory
  • iOS and Android workspace access
  • Estimates, signatures, and attachments

Documented integrations

  • Google Calendar, CompanyCam, and Thumbtack
  • QuickBooks referenced in a vendor social announcement
  • API references in the service definition

Looked for, not found in public sources

  • GPS time tracking
  • Offline mobile mode
  • Subcontractor workflow depth
  • Job-costing logic

These are gaps in the public record. Ask the vendor directly; several may well exist without being publicly documented.

How each dimension is scored ↗

Independent review signals

No attributable review footprint was located on the major independent platforms. For a recently launched product this reflects timing rather than reception, and it should not be read as negative feedback.

Ratings belong to the platforms shown and were read on 2026-08-31. We do not host reviews, and we never convert review sentiment into a security or exit-readiness claim.

What to ask before you sign

  • Run a scoped pilot before making this a production dependency.
  • Confirm phone support, price, response targets, and export format in writing.
  • Ask for a DPA and a product roadmap.
