Trade Software Curriculum for Vocational and Technical Schools
Trade Software Curriculum for Vocational and Technical Schools
The SoftwareLit Business & Trades Series
The SoftwareLit Series teaches the skills behind business software by letting learners run real businesses—not by lecturing about features. Across all titles, students work inside fully functional, browser-based applications paired with instructor-ready curriculum, building practical, transferable software literacy.
The series spans 11 industries across two categories:
Trades Series (Contracting & Skilled Trades)
HVAC (AirFlow)
Electrical (VoltFlow)
Welding & Fabrication (WeldFlow)
Plumbing (PipeFlow)
Construction (BuildFlow)
Business OS Series (Service & Professional Industries)
Dental (SmileFlow)
Property Management (RentFlow)
Automotive
Real Estate
Salon
Healthcare
A Shared Learning System Across All Titles
What ties all 11 experiences together is a consistent instructional design. While each app reflects a different industry, learners encounter the same foundational concepts throughout:
Records and data structures
Fields and relationships between data
Multi-step workflows
Role-based permissions and access control
Data accuracy and downstream impact
In the Trades Series, this consistency appears as a shared contractor workflow:
clients and leads, projects, scheduling, time tracking, materials, equipment, crews and subcontractors, and financial tracking.
In the Business OS Series, each app is tailored to its industry, but the same underlying software logic and system behaviors remain consistent.
This approach means:
Instructors learn one system and can teach multiple pathways
Learners build transferable skills instead of starting over each time
Concepts repeat in new contexts, strengthening understanding
