"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..."

Common Questions

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

Is there a way to keep a record of what's happening on-site daily?

The site diary feature is perfect for this. The crew can log notes, progress updates, and photos throughout the day, giving you a clear view of how the job is tracking without you needing to be there 24/7.

Can the crew see the site plans on their phones?

They sure can. You can upload site plans to the job so the team has access to them anywhere, anytime. It saves everyone a lot of time and avoids those 'where's the paperwork?' conversations on-site.

How does the app handle supplier bills and materials?

NextMinute features a two-way sync with Xero, MYOB, and QuickBooks. This means your supplier invoices pull straight into the job, saving you a heap of admin and ensuring your cost-tracking is always spot on.

Does the software track machinery and equipment costs?

It does. You can set custom buy and sell rates for your machinery and have the crew log their hours against specific equipment. This ensures you're accurately capturing the cost of having diggers or pumps on-site.

Is it easy for the crew to use on-site?

The mobile app is simple—even the apprentice can figure it out. The crew can log timesheets, snap site photos, view site plans, and check their assigned tasks for the day without having to call you for every little detail.

What happens if a client changes their mind on the pool tiles or finishes?

Managing variations is a breeze. You can track those client changes and the associated costs by job stage, ensuring you aren't chewing up your margin on extra work that hasn't been quoted for.

Can I send progress claims as the pool construction moves along?

You certainly can. The app is set up for progress and final invoicing, allowing you to bill for specific milestones. You can even attach photos of the completed work to the invoice so the client can see exactly what they're paying for.

How does NextMinute help with multi-stage pool builds?

You can track every stage of the project—from excavation and the shell to plumbing and tiling—with real-time actuals vs estimates. The Gantt chart lets you drag and drop tasks, so if the weather sets you back, updating the entire schedule takes seconds.
