We’ve answered the ones we hear most from carpenters.
It sure does. It features a two-way sync with Xero, MYOB, and QuickBooks. This means your financial data flows between the two systems naturally, so you don't have to worry about double-handling invoices or timesheets.
The site diary feature lets the crew log notes and snap progress photos throughout the day. It’s a great way to keep a running history of the build and makes it easy to show clients exactly what’s been happening on their job.
The software makes progress claims and final invoicing really straightforward. You can generate professional, branded invoices based on your tracked hours and materials, helping you keep the cash flow steady throughout the project.
Your crew can pull up site plans anywhere and anytime directly through the mobile app. It keeps everyone on the same page and helps avoid those 'where's the plan?' phone calls while you're trying to get stuck into your own work.
Managing client variations is a breeze. You can track all those extra costs and changes separately to make sure you’re actually getting paid for the extra work, rather than letting it chew into your profit margin.
You get live financial reporting that shows your actual costs versus your original estimate. You can see exactly how much you've spent on labour and materials at every stage, so you know if a job is in the green or heading into the red before it's too late.
They sure do. NextMinute is the official recommended job management software for Carpentry Australia. If you’re a member, you can score exclusive perks and mates’ rates on your subscription.
The mobile app is simple to use, so even your apprentice won't have an excuse for forgetting theirs. The crew can log hours against specific jobs or tasks in seconds, meaning no more chasing scrawled notes or texts on a Sunday night.
It’s purpose-built for the way Aussie carpentry crews work, covering everything from framing and fit-outs to full renovations. It helps you ditch the messy paperwork and spreadsheets by putting your quoting, scheduling, and timesheets into one simple app you can use on the ute or on-site.
