For tradespeople & owner-drivers

Your van's in the shop. Is it fair?

Your van is income. When it's off the road you're not earning — and the last thing you need is to pay above benchmark on top of that. Kwoute checks every line against UK industry benchmarks in 60 seconds.

How it works

Three steps. 60 seconds.

Step 01

Upload your invoice

Photo or PDF — takes 10 seconds. We handle photos taken in bad lighting, crumpled invoices, and handwritten quotes.

Step 02

We check every line

Labour hours verified against LCV-specific benchmark times. Parts cross-referenced against live UK trade pricing. Labour rate compared to your regional average.

Step 03

Know before you pay

Plain-English assessment with the specific data points. If something is above benchmark, you'll know exactly which line and by how much.
