Overview
Powered Now is a UK-focused job management app for trades, with published plans covering quotes and invoices, contacts, expenses, supplier invoices and purchase orders, project management and job sheets, plus digital certificate features.
Boksit is business and project management software for tradespeople, built around the life of a job from quote through changes to completion.
Both are UK-oriented. The clearest differences are Powered Now's industry certificate features and Boksit's Additional Works approval workflow, RAMS and client-facing Project reporting.

Frequently asked questions
- Does Boksit produce electrical or gas certificates?
- No. Boksit stores certificates as Documents against a job, but it does not generate industry certification documents. If certificates are central to your work, check a provider that specialises in them.
- Does Boksit support VAT and CIS?
- Boksit's document totals handle discount, VAT and CIS deduction so the amount due is clear. It is not accounting software and does not replace advice from your accountant.
