About Us

What Is NextMinute?

NextMinute is job management software built for residential tradies such as builders, roofers, and landscapers who are sick of chasing paper, digging through texts and guessing where the money’s going. It pulls quotes, jobs, timesheets, materials, photos and invoices into one place so tradies can see what’s happening on site and in the office without paper chaos slowing clients down.

Think of it like having a diary, whiteboard, timesheets and job folders all living in your phone and on the computer, all in sync and updated in real-time.

What makes NextMinute unique?

We've got all the bells and whistles you'd expect from any job management software. But with tools specifically designed for tradies working on longer-term projects, here's where NextMinute really shines.

Keep an eye on profitability

Tradies can track actuals vs. estimates in real-time by job or job stage (e.g. framing). Help your clients stay in the black and keep sight of their materials, labour, and other costs.

Job planning made simple

With an intuitive Gaant chart, tradies can drag-and-drop to plan complex projects. Delayed by the rain? SImply drag out the task and all the dependencies will follow.

Timesheets? Too easy

Tradies and their crew add time to a job in a few taps. They can include use talk-to-text to enter site notes, add photos and expenses, and more.

Two-way sync with Xero + MYOB

NextMinute integrates with Xero + MYOB, so all the financials stay in sync without double entry.

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...
