"NextMinute is probably the program that you'd design for yourself to use for scheduling and quoting, if you could! It's got a refreshing design... and the support is second to none... Recommended by The Landscape Association... if you're thinking of switching from your current system then look no further..."

Common Questions

We’ve answered the ones we hear most from earthworks crews.

What’s the best way to keep a site diary for earthworks?

The crew can use the site diary feature to log daily notes, progress updates, and photos from on site. It’s a great way to keep a paperless trail of exactly what’s happening on every site without chasing paper.

Can I manage my crew scheduling in one spot?

The drag-and-drop job planner lets you schedule your team and stay on top of who needs to be where. You can assign tasks to the crew so everyone knows their role for the day, which keeps the job moving.

Do you offer any help getting my earthmoving business set up?

We have a Sydney-based team that actually knows the industry. We offer setup and onboarding, and we can even help import your existing projects and quotes into the system so you can get moving faster.

How do I keep track of variations when the scope of work changes?

Managing variations is a breeze. When a client adds extra work or the site conditions change, you can track those extra costs and hours separately to make sure you're not chewing up your margin.

Can I see if I'm actually making money on a job before it finishes?

The financial reporting gives you a real-time look at your actual costs versus your original estimates. You can see your gross profit and margins for the whole project or even specific stages, so there are no nasty surprises at the end.

Is the mobile app easy enough for the crew on-site?

It's simple—even the apprentice will get the hang of it. The crew can log their timesheets, snap site photos, and check site plans directly from their phone or tablet while they're out in the dirt.

Will NextMinute sync with my accounting software?

It has a two-way sync with Xero, MYOB, and QuickBooks. This means your timesheets and equipment hours flow straight through to payroll and invoicing without you having to enter the same data twice.

How does this help with earthworks quoting?

You can fire out professional quotes in minutes using your own templates or by importing takeoffs from your quantity surveyor. It’s built to handle the complexities of earthmoving projects so you aren't stuck behind a desk all night.

Does the software handle progress claims for larger projects?

It does. If you're working on a multi-stage development or a long-term earthworks contract, you can easily generate progress invoices or final claims to keep your cashflow steady throughout the job.

Can I track hours for my excavators and bobcats in the app?

You sure can. The equipment charges feature lets you set custom buy and sell rates for your machinery. Your crew can then log their hours directly against specific machines on-site, so you know exactly what to charge out.
