"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."

Common Questions

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

Does NextMinute help with job costing and profit tracking?

Yes, and this is one of its stronger features. You can track labour, supplier bills, expenses and invoices against the original quote, so you get a clearer read on whether a job is actually making money or quietly chewing up margin. If profit tracking is a big one for you, our back-costing feature page explains it well.

What features do you actually get with NextMinute?

You get the core gear most builders and tradies need to run jobs properly: quoting, scheduling, timesheets, variations, job notes, photos, invoicing, cost tracking, reporting and a mobile app for the crew. Instead of patching together five different apps, you can run the whole workflow in one place.

Does it have a proper scheduling tool, or just a basic calendar?

It is more than a basic calendar. NextMinute gives you a visual scheduler with Gantt planning, so you can lay jobs out clearly, shift tasks around fast and keep everyone on the same page when dates move, which they always do. If you want to dig into that side of it, check out our scheduling feature page.

Can NextMinute handle quoting, scheduling and invoicing in the one system?

Yep, that is one of the big reasons people move over. You can build the quote, turn it into a live job, schedule the work, track what the job is costing you, then send invoices without bouncing between spreadsheets and different bits of software. If quoting and invoicing are the bits giving you grief, check out our quoting feature page and invoicing feature page.

What can my crew actually do from their phones?

Plenty. They can check job info, look at plans, log timesheets, add site notes, upload photos and keep the office updated without ringing every five minutes. That is the sort of stuff that keeps jobs moving instead of everything bottlenecking through one person. To see how that works on site, have a look at the mobile app feature page.

Can I manage leads, customers and job details in the same place too?

Yes. You can keep leads, customer details, quotes, job files, notes and updates tied together, which makes it a lot easier to stay organised once the work starts piling up. It saves a heap of mucking around trying to work out where the latest info lives. If that matters to your workflow, have a look at our CRM feature page.

Does NextMinute integrate with Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks?

Yes, it integrates with Xero, MYOB and QuickBooks, so contacts, invoices, payments, timesheets and supplier bills can stay in sync. That means less double handling in the office and fewer chances for things to get missed between job management and accounts. You can see the full setup on our integrations overview page.

How do I know if these features are right for my business?

Best thing is to match them against how you run jobs now. If you need better control over quotes, schedules, crew, costs, variations and invoices, there is a good chance the feature set will suit you. If you want to give it a proper look, book a Demo or start a Free Trial.

Will it replace spreadsheets, whiteboards and paper timesheets?

For most crews, yes, that is the goal. Instead of having one system for quotes, another for scheduling and a pile of paper for the rest, you can bring the lot into one place and stop losing time to double handling. It is a much cleaner way to run jobs once the business gets busy.

Can it handle variations, notes, photos and all the day-to-day job admin too?

Yep. That is the stuff that usually ends up scattered across texts, emails, notebooks and someone’s camera roll. NextMinute gives you one spot for variations, notes, files, photos and job updates, so you have less chasing around and a better record of what happened on site. If you want to dig into the day-to-day side of that, have a look at our mobile app feature page and CRM feature page.
