Common Questions

We’ve answered the ones we hear most from builders and tradies.

What trades is NextMinute actually built for?

NextMinute is built for residential builders and project-based tradies who need to quote jobs, schedule work, track costs, manage variations and get invoices out without the usual mess. It is a strong fit for builders, carpenters, landscapers, roofers, earthworks crews and pool builders doing longer jobs with moving parts.

Is NextMinute a good fit for service jobs and quick one-off callouts?

It can still work, but that is not really its sweet spot. NextMinute makes the most sense for residential trade businesses running longer, project-based work where quoting, planning, cost tracking and variations matter. If your jobs have a few stages and plenty of moving parts, it is much more in its wheelhouse. The planning side is explained on the construction planning software page.

Does it work for smaller trade teams, or only bigger operators?

It is a solid fit for smaller growing crews too, especially if you are sick of running the business off spreadsheets, whiteboards and whatever is written on the back of an invoice. A lot of value comes once you have a few people to coordinate and need a cleaner way to stay on top of jobs, time and money. You can check pricing on the pricing page.

Will my crew actually use it, or will it be another app they ignore?

If the app is clunky, the crew will dodge it, fair enough. NextMinute is made to be simple on site, so your crew can check job info, upload photos, add notes and log timesheets without stuffing around. That gives you a better shot at getting real buy-in from the team. The mobile app page shows what they can do from site.

Does NextMinute help tradies stay on top of profit, not just paperwork?

Yes, and that is a big part of the value. It helps you track labour, supplier costs, expenses and invoices against the quote, so you can see when a job is drifting before the margin disappears on you. If protecting profit matters, the back costing page is worth a look.

Does it work with Xero, MYOB and QuickBooks?

Yes. NextMinute connects with Xero, MYOB and QuickBooks, so you are not double-handling invoices, contacts, payments and timesheet data between systems. That is handy if you want better job control without making the books side messier. You can see the options on the integrations overview page.

How do I know if NextMinute is the right fit for my trade business?

The quickest way is to look at the kinds of jobs you run. If you are doing residential, project-based work with quotes, schedules, crew coordination, cost tracking and invoices to manage, there is a good chance it fits well. If you want to give it a crack properly, start with a free trial or book a demo.

How long does it take to get set up?

Not long, because you're not starting from a blank screen. Onboarding is available with our Sydney-based team: we set up your account, import your jobs, contacts and price book, and train the crew, so you can run your first job in NextMinute properly from day one. Ongoing support is included in your subscription. Want to see it first? Book a 15-minute intro and talk it through.

How much does NextMinute cost?

NextMinute is AU$299 a month plus GST for up to 5 users, then AU$30 a month for each extra user, with onboarding available to get you set up and your crew trained. Every customer gets every feature, whatever their trade, and it's month to month with no lock-in contract. See the full breakdown on our pricing page, or start a free trial.

We started using NextMinute to simplify our systems. We have been surprised at how easy the program is to navigate and how much it has helped our small business run more efficiently. We had Ryan run multiple training sessions with us and guide us when we needed help. Overall, we are very happy with the program and support we have received.

The NextMinute mirrors our operations smoothly. Easy communication with Duncan from NM, adjusting our templates and processes to match our dynamic. On top, their price remains very competitive across to what they offer. Thanks team

We're a new and rapidly growing landscaping company, and NextMinute has been an incredible platform for us. It's helped us create structure and solid processes, speed up our quoting, and present a more professional front to our clients. It's also made a big difference for our team — allowing them to track their time more accurately — and has given us much clearer insight into our finances...
