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'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...

"NextMinute is probably the program that you'd design for yourself to use for scheduling and quoting, if you could! It's got a refreshing design... and the support is second to none... Recommended by The Landscape Association... if you're thinking of switching from your current system then look no further..."

"Man the most important thing for me is being able to just ring someone to get the support when I don’t know how to do something in the programme. I’ve come from a major pm software called which is offshore and received very limited support. Ryan and the guys have been wicked to say the least. If you need a decent construction based software look no further you won’t look back."
