“These six apps are the next logical step in building a trade ecosystem that works the way tradespeople actually work — on site, on the move, and on their phones.”Sitex Industrial Ltd
Sitex Direct — iOS & Android
The flagship Sitex Direct store app brings the full catalogue of construction, industrial, workwear, lighting, electrical, and audio products to mobile. Customers can browse thousands of product lines, access their trade account, track orders in real time, and connect directly with Sitex Mind AI for intelligent product discovery and sourcing support. Whether on site or in the van, trade buyers can search, compare, and purchase with the same confidence as the desktop experience — with optimised performance and a native mobile interface designed for working environments.
Power-Hub — iOS & Android
Power-Hub’s dedicated app is built for professionals and enthusiasts who rely on portable power, solar accessories, electrical tools, and specialist lighting. The app offers a focused, category-led browsing experience complemented by the Power-Hub integration with Sitex Mind AI, enabling users to find the right power solution quickly and with confidence. As Power-Hub scales its presence within the Sitex Marketplace, the app will serve as a direct channel for new product announcements, offers, and technical guidance tailored to the portable power category.
Trade Guy Community — iOS & Android
Trade Guy is the trusted Q&A and discussion platform for UK tradespeople and serious DIYers. The community app brings threaded discussions, trade-focused topic groups, and peer-to-peer knowledge sharing to mobile for the first time. Members can post questions, share expertise, join conversations by trade, and build their reputation within the community — all from a native app designed around the rhythms of working tradespeople. Moderation tools and verified trade profiles are built in from day one.
The app launches sit alongside the forthcoming Sitex Marketplace, which is scheduled to open to vendors in Summer 2026, and complement the broader suite of Sitex ecosystem tools including Sitex SourceLink for specialist sourcing, ONBOARD by Sitex Direct for vendor onboarding, and Sitex Mind AI — the company’s own AI shopping and support assistant active across all brands.
Together, the six mobile applications extend the reach of the Sitex ecosystem in a meaningful way, ensuring that trade buyers, power users, and community members have a native, first-class experience on whichever device they choose.
All six apps are available free to download from the Apple App Store and Google Play from May June.
