The best AroFlo alternative for Aussie tradies

AroFlo is a powerful job management system built for larger, complex trade and field-service businesses – think big teams, assets, maintenance contracts and lots of moving parts.

NextMinute is a lighter, easier AroFlo alternative for Aussie builders and tradies running project-based work like new builds and renos.

You get the tools you actually need – quoting, Gantt job planning, scheduling, site diaries, photos, timesheets, variations, progress claims and clear job/stage costing – without paying thousands upfront or rolling out an enterprise-style system.
