Trade parts near you · London to Southend · Founding 500 open

Stuck? Ping it.
Spare? Sell it.

Every van on the road is already a mini wholesaler. Short of a part? Ping it, and the vans and trade counters near you see it straight away. Got spares? Answer someone else's ping.

One free account for both. Founding 500: launch subscription pricing for life. Takes 60 seconds.

In plain English

VanStock.trade is a trade-only app that connects trades who need a part with the vans and trade counters nearby that have one.

You ping what you need. The trades near you who carry it get the ping. Whoever's got it replies with a price, you collect it, job done. And when it's someone else who's stuck, the spares on your van can help them out.

Post any time, day or night — when the merchants are shut, the trade's still out there Every trade that joins makes the next ping faster

Step 1 of 5

Post what you need

Three steps between you and the part you need.

Stuck?

Get the part from a trade round the corner.

No driving round the merchants. Post any time, day or night. When the merchants are shut, the trade's still out there.

Spare?

Turn the leftovers in your van into cash.

Every job leaves odd fittings and boxes you over-ordered. Answer a ping when you've got what they need. Sellers keep 100% of their price during the pilot.

Join to sell spares

We’re not here to change how you work.

Other trade apps want you logging every part on the van, scanning every receipt and costing every job down to the last fixing. VanStock.trade just gets you the part, from a trade round the corner.

Today it’s you who needs the part. Tomorrow it’s the trade who helped you. We’re all in it together.

Trades helping trades. Get the part, get the job done.

Founding 500 — London to Southend

London to Southend. First on the road, first to lock in the price.

Founding members lock in launch subscription pricing for life. Everyone after pays more. Verified by a real phone number, so it's 500 real trades, not 500 sign-ups. Not live in your area yet? You still get your place.

Built by a Tradie, for Tradies

Not built in a boardroom.

I've stood on site missing a part, burned an hour driving between wholesalers chasing one fitting, and had plenty of nights and weekends when every merchant's shut and the job still has to finish.

Every van on the road is already a mini wholesaler. VanStock.trade just puts you in touch with the one nearest you.
