Common Questions

We’ve answered the ones we hear most from landscapers.

How does NextMinute help Kiwi landscapers with quoting?

You can fire out professional quotes in minutes using handy templates and your own materials list. It’s designed to help you get estimates to clients faster so you can win more landscaping projects without the usual office bottleneck.

Can my crew track their hours while out on a landscaping job?

They certainly can. The mobile app is simple to use, so the crew can log their timesheets against specific jobs or tasks while on-site. It saves you from chasing up paper dockets or messy spreadsheets on a Sunday night.

Does the software handle progress claims for larger projects?

It does. Whether it's a quick deck build or a massive multi-stage renovation, you can easily send off progress payment invoices or final invoices with a few clicks to keep your cashflow moving.

How do I keep track of landscaping job variations?

NextMinute makes managing client variations a breeze. You can track any changes to the original scope and the extra costs involved, ensuring they get added to the final invoice so you aren't left out of pocket for extra work.

Can I see if I'm actually making a profit while the job is still running?

Detailed back-costing reports show you real-time actuals versus your original estimates. You can see exactly how much you've spent on labour and materials at any stage of the project, helping you spot if a job is going over budget before it's too late.

Is it possible to track machinery and equipment costs?

Yes, you can set custom buy and sell rates for your gear, like diggers or bobcats. Your team can log the hours used on-site, making sure you're actually recovering those costs and keeping your job margins healthy.

How does the site diary feature work for landscapers?

Your crew can log notes and snap photos directly from the app to record progress on-site. These are saved against the job, which is handy for your own records or for sending quick updates and progress photos to your clients.

Will my team be able to see the site plans on their phones?

Yes, site plans can be uploaded to the app so the crew can view them anywhere, anytime. It's much easier than having a set of soggy paper plans blowing around the back of the ute.

What kind of support is available for New Zealand customers?

You get full support from a local team based right here in Auckland. We offer onboarding and training to make sure you and the crew are comfortable with the tech and getting the most out of it.
