Card machines and invoicing for tradespeople.
Get paid on the doorstep, not thirty days later.
Deposits taken in the workshop, not chased afterwardsThe story →

Why tradespeople choose Atlas.
- We tell you the simplest kit that does the jobSometimes that's your phone.
- Fitted on site, not posted in a boxAcross the East Midlands we come out, place the kit and train whoever is on shift. Elsewhere in the UK we ship it configured and set it up with you on a call.
- One number afterwardsThe person who specced it is the person who answers. Not a ticket queue, not a call centre.
