What is the Trade Hounds App?

Trade Hounds is America’s largest social marketplace for the construction industry. Nearly 400,000 people use the free app to watch tutorials, share subject matter expertise and find products at nearby distributor branches.

The app started as a social media community for skilled tradespeople. It has now grown into a platform that supports the entire ecosystem, including contractors, manufacturers and distributors.

Distributors share their product catalogs to make it easier for workers to buy from them all in one place. Manufacturers share news about product launches and get feedback from Trade Hounds users. The professional Trade Hounds community helps manufacturers learn from the customers who user their products every day. Precise user targeting capabilities means marketing campaigns reach relevant audiences depending on a user’s zip code, job title, trade and industry.

In February 2025, Trade Hounds acquired WRANGLD, a software company that specialized in contractor tools. Our mission is to eliminate inefficiencies that slow workers down, and help distributors and manufacturers better serve their customers.
