"After trying nearly every job tracking app that is compatible with Xero NextMinute was the only one that suited our needs and worked well for us...Being in the painting and decorating trade NextMinute is easily adaptable to work for tracking our jobs and costings and for staff to do their timesheets on, it was simple to set up and the support is super helpful if you get stuck. I highly recommend you give it a try."

"Changing to NextMinute has been such a great move for us... It is intuitive, user friendly and easy to nut out. Coming from a program that was like working with the dinosaurs this has been a breath of fresh air. Big shout out to Duncan who has been such a pleasure to work with. He has the patience of a saint getting us up and running. Thanks to AK as well..."

"Ryan has been very patient and provided endless help, no matter how many times I probably asked the same thing over and over again. The videos and clear written instructions are particularly helpful, so I can refer back to when needed. To top it off the friendly service is a bonus. A joke and laugh goes a long way."

Common Questions

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

Is there a limit on how many contacts or leads I can store?

All our plans come with unlimited projects and no cap on the number of contacts you can store. Whether you're a small crew or a larger outfit doing multi-stage renos across NZ, we’ve got you covered.

Where is the support team based if I need a hand setting up my CRM?

We’ve got a local team right here in Auckland. You can book a quick chat with Duncan or the crew, and they’ll even help you import your existing jobs and quotes during your free trial so you’re ready to go from day one.

Does the CRM help with dispute resolution if a client gets difficult?

It’s a massive help for that. Because all your comms, variations, photos, and signed quotes are saved in one secure place, you’ve got a clear paper trail to stand on if any disagreements pop up about what was agreed on site.

Is it easy to access client info while I'm out in the ute or on the tools?

No worries there. The app works on mobile, tablet, and desktop. If you’re heading to a site visit and need the client’s address or previous job notes, you can just pull it up on your phone while you're on the road.

Can I store info for my subbies and suppliers here too?

It’s not just for clients; you can store all your supplier and subbie details as well. Having everyone's contact info and site history in one place makes it much easier to manage the whole team when things get busy.

Will I have to manually enter all my existing contacts into the system?

Not at all. NextMinute syncs two-ways with accounting software like Xero, MYOB, and QuickBooks. This means all your existing client and supplier details pull through automatically, saving you from a heap of boring double data entry.

Can I see the financial history of a specific client within the CRM?

Yes, you get a full bird's-eye view. You can drill down into any client to see their job summaries, total spend, quotes, and even site-specific notes and photos. It’s great for seeing who your best customers are and keeping their history organised.

Can I send messages to my clients directly through the app?

You certainly can. You can fire off SMS updates or emails to your clients and the crew straight from NextMinute. It’s a lifesaver for keeping everyone in the loop without having to jump between different apps while you're on site.

How does this help me keep track of new leads and enquiries?

It makes lead management simple by letting you categorise your contacts. You can filter for things like 'new leads from last month' to make sure you're following up on potential work and not letting any good jobs slip through the cracks.

What exactly is a construction CRM and how does it help a Kiwi tradie?

A construction CRM is basically a digital filing cabinet for all your client, supplier, and site info. Instead of losing lead details on scraps of timber or tucked away in your email inbox, NextMinute keeps everything in one spot so you can track a job from the first inquiry right through to the final invoice.
