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.

Could not fault the onboarding process from start to finish...and beyond! Tarsha was absolutely amazing at making sure every query was answered and went above and beyond. Highly recommend the software for any construction based company thinking about taking the leap. Nothing is overwhelming once the onboarding is complete. Thanks again guys! :)
