Job management software for tradies: your questions answered

What is job management software for tradies?

It's one app that runs the whole job for a trades business - the enquiry, the quote, the schedule, the crew, the hours and materials, the safety paperwork and the invoice - instead of juggling a quoting app, a calendar, a notebook and a separate invoicing tool. Tradescraft puts all of that on a single job sheet, so nothing falls through the gap between tools and you can see every job from first call to final payment in one place.

How does Tradescraft help a trades business day to day?

You take the call and log it, quote from your own price book, and the customer accepts online. You convert the win to a job and schedule the crew on a 14-day board, with a live map showing who's nearest so you send the right person. On site, the crew logs hours, draws materials, signs off the safety document and snaps photos - all onto the one job. When it's done, you convert it to a tax invoice with your ABN, GST and bank details filled in, the customer pays by card, and overdue invoices chase themselves. Nothing is re-keyed and nothing is lost.

Which trades is it for?

Any trade that runs jobs - from electricians, plumbers, builders and carpenters to HVAC and refrigeration techs, solar installers, landscapers, painters, tilers, roofers, concreters, bricklayers, plasterers, fencing contractors, cleaning and pest control businesses, mobile mechanics, glaziers, cabinet makers, security installers, pool builders, handyman businesses, locksmiths and arborists. The job sheet, scheduling, safety, stock and invoicing work the same way for all of them; what changes is the safety documents and licences each trade needs, which the system holds for you.

Is it built for Australia and New Zealand?

Yes. Invoices carry your ABN or NZBN, the right GST rate, and your bank details, and the safety tools follow the Safe Work Australia model regulations. It's built for how AU and NZ trades businesses actually quote, comply and get paid - not adapted from somewhere else.

What does it replace?

Quoting, scheduling, dispatch, invoicing, online payments, stock control, timesheets, JSA and SWMS safety documents, a customer portal and even your own website - all in one place. Most tradies who switch are replacing three or four separate subscriptions plus a notebook and a spreadsheet.

How is it different from Tradify or ServiceM8?

Two things. First, safety and compliance are built into the job, not bolted on - including a check that won't let a worker be dispatched without the right tickets, which (as at June 2026) neither Tradify's nor ServiceM8's published plans include. Second, it's one flat price per user with every feature included: no tiers to climb, no caps on the number of jobs you can run a month.

What does it cost?

$29 per user, per month, in AUD including GST. Every feature is on the one plan - no tiers, no job caps - so a five-person crew pays $145 a month. Your own website ($29/mo) is an optional add-on (SMS texting is coming soon). You can cancel any time.

Will it work on my phone on site?

Yes. It runs in your phone's browser, so you can log a job, record hours, draw materials, sign off a safety document, snap photos and send an invoice from site - no laptop, no separate app to install.

Does it work with my accounting software?

Yes - there's two-way Xero sync for invoices and payments, plus a push of your supplier bills and purchase orders, so what you bill and collect in Tradescraft and what's in your books stay matched without double entry.

Is my data safe and private?

Each business's data is kept completely separate and private - locked down at the data level, not just hidden in the screen. Your customers, jobs and numbers are yours, and no other business can see them.
