Most of the builders we work with save between 10 to 15 hours a week just by ditching the paper timesheets and manual data entry. It means less time stuck in the office on the weekend and more time on the tools or with the family.
The crew can attach notes, site diary updates, and photos directly to the job from their phones. It’s a great way to keep a solid record of progress and any variations that pop up during the day.
Yes, you can set custom buy and sell rates for your gear. Whether it’s an excavator or a specialized kit, the crew can log the hours used on-site so you can accurately charge it out and track your equipment costs.
It’s built specifically for Kiwi tradies and builders, so it’s practical and straight to the point. Most crews pick it up in minutes. If you can send a text or use Facebook, you'll have no trouble logging your hours or checking site plans in NextMinute.
They certainly do. We’ve built a two-way sync with Xero, MYOB, and QuickBooks so your timesheets flow straight through to payroll. It cuts out the double-handling and means your bookkeeper won't be chasing you for messy paper dockets on Friday night.
Absolutely. You can log time against specific stages like excavation, roofing, or landscaping. This makes back-costing a breeze because you can see your actual labour costs compared to your original estimate for every part of the job.
You bet. NextMinute gives you live labour costs job-by-job and even stage-by-stage. You can see exactly how much you're spending on framing versus the fit-out in real-time, helping you keep the project on track and within budget.
The crew just use the NextMinute app on their phone or tablet to record their hours as they go. It’s simple to use, so even the apprentice will have no drama logging their time, adding notes, or snapping a few site photos before they head home.
