Background

About Matthew Blume

I didn't get into the trades to be a secretary.For years, I lived the "hidden shift"—finishing the physical work at 5 PM, only to start the mental work of reports, bids, and invoicing at 7 PM. I knew there had to be a way to get off the tools without losing the margins.That’s why I founded The Automated Tradesman.I’m bridging the gap between grit and tech. I don't just talk about AI; I deploy it in the field to handle the "cognitive overhead" that burns out the best pros in our industry. From computer-vision job reporting to automated bidding engines, I’m building the blueprint for the Zero-Desk Trade Business.What I do: Workflow Automation: Turning 20-minute reports into 20-second videos. Strategic AI Implementation: Helping fleet owners reclaim billable time. Community Building: Solving one job site "headache" at a time.If you’re ready to stop being the bottleneck in your own business and start acting like the CEO, let’s connect. The future of the trades isn't just about better tools—it's about smarter systems.#TheAutomatedTradesman #ConstructionTech #AIinTrades
