We’ve answered the ones we hear most from carpenters.
NextMinute is purpose-built for the way Kiwi carpenters actually work. It handles the full lifecycle of a job—from sending quotes to scheduling the crew and managing progress claims—all while syncing two-way with local accounting software like Xero and MYOB.
You can fire out professional branded quotes in record time by importing takeoffs directly from your quantity surveyor or preferred software. This helps you get your pricing sorted fast so you can lock in the next project and keep the crew busy.
The mobile app is simple to use, so even your greenest apprentice can log their hours against specific jobs or tasks in seconds. It saves you from the Sunday night headache of chasing up paper timesheets or messy texts from the crew.
The back-costing reports give you a real-time look at your actual spend versus what you quoted. You can see how you're tracking on materials and labour for the whole project or just a specific stage, making sure you're actually making a profit.
Managing variations is a breeze with NextMinute. You can track all those extra costs and changes by job stage, keeping your actuals vs estimates accurate so you don't end up eating the cost of extra materials or labour.
The software makes it easy to generate both progress payments and final invoices based on the job data you've already collected. A few clicks and you've got a professional invoice ready to send, which helps keep the cashflow steady while the job's still on the go.
Everyone on the crew can access site plans directly through the app on their phone or tablet. It means they've always got the latest info at their fingertips, whether they're in the ute or standing on the slab.
We've got a support team based right here in Auckland who actually understand the building trade. We offer onboarding and training for life, and we'll even help you bring your existing jobs and quotes into the system during your trial.
You can raise purchase orders with just a few clicks inside the app. It keeps all your supplier orders organised and linked to the right job, so you aren't digging through piles of receipts at the end of the month.
