ServiceM8 API Integration Solutions
ServiceM8 keeps your jobs organised on the go. Your accounting software keeps the money side tracked. Right now, you are probably the link between the two, typing invoices after hours or copy-pasting customer details between apps.
We connect ServiceM8 to Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks using the API. Completed jobs become invoices. Customer records stay in sync. Payments are tracked. All without the nightly admin session.
HELLO PEOPLE is a Perth-based software consultancy. We work with small service businesses across Australia. Cleaners, pest controllers, locksmiths, appliance repairers, gardeners and mobile trades who need their systems talking to each other.
What ServiceM8 users tell us
You run a tight ship on the tools. It is the paperwork between ServiceM8 and accounting that eats your time.
Finishing jobs on the app, then re-entering in the office
Your tech completes the job on their phone. But the invoice still gets created manually by someone back at base. So the app does half the work and then stops.
Invoicing takes days when it should take minutes
The job is done Monday. The invoice goes out Thursday — or next week if it is a busy one. That delay costs you cash flow and makes you look disorganised.
Customer records that drift apart
You update a customer phone number in ServiceM8 but your accounting software still has the old one. Or worse, you have three versions of the same client across two systems.
No clear picture of who owes what
Some invoices are in ServiceM8, some in accounting, some in neither. Chasing outstanding payments means checking two systems and hoping nothing slipped through.
Photos and job notes trapped in the app
Before-and-after photos, site notes, customer sign-offs. All sitting in ServiceM8 with no link to the financial record. When there is a dispute, finding the evidence is a dig.
The Zapier sync keeps breaking
You set up a Zap to push invoices across. It worked for a while. Now it drops records when a field is empty, and nobody finds out until a customer calls about a missing invoice.

Most ServiceM8 businesses need invoice sync to their accounting software. Tell us your setup and we will give you a straight answer on what it costs.
ServiceM8 Integration Workflows
The most common ServiceM8 integrations we build. Pick a tab to see how each one works.
Completed jobs to invoices
A job marked as complete in ServiceM8 creates the invoice in your accounting software automatically. Customer details, line items, GST — it all comes across properly.
Handles different job types: quoted work, hourly, and flat-rate. If the customer pays on-site through ServiceM8 payments, that is recorded too.
Built for operators who complete 10, 20, or 50 jobs a week and cannot afford the admin lag between finishing the work and sending the bill.
Customer and contact sync
New customers created in ServiceM8 during a booking or on-site appear in your accounting software. Existing clients with updated details sync both ways.
Addresses, phone numbers, email, billing preferences — the fields that matter are kept consistent without anyone maintaining two separate contact lists.
Good for businesses with returning customers where accurate records affect billing, warranty tracking and communication.
Payment tracking and reconciliation
On-site payments taken through ServiceM8 — card, cash or bank transfer — are recorded against the invoice in your accounting software. No manual matching needed.
Outstanding amounts are visible across both platforms. When the customer pays later, the status updates flow through so your aged receivables report is always accurate.
Good for mobile operators who take payment on the spot and need it reflected in accounting without going back to the office.
Quotes to accounting workflow
Quotes accepted in ServiceM8 can trigger records in your accounting system — a pending invoice, a job reference, or a customer account setup — so nothing waits until the work starts.
This keeps your pipeline visible in both systems. You know what has been quoted, what has been accepted, and what is still pending without checking two platforms.
Good for businesses where quotes often sit in ServiceM8 and accounting has no visibility until someone manually enters the job weeks later.
Combined reporting and dashboards
Pull ServiceM8 job data — completions, revenue, average job value, repeat customer rate — and combine it with your accounting figures for a full business picture.
Works with Power BI, Google Sheets, or simple email summaries. The format fits how you actually review your numbers.
Good for owners who want to see this week's performance without logging into two systems and doing mental arithmetic.
Invoice goes out the moment the job is done
Tech finishes the job, customer signs on the phone screen, and the invoice lands in your accounting software within minutes. No one in the office needs to touch it.
For a solo operator or a small crew, that means getting paid days faster without adding admin hours.
Clients stay in sync across both systems
Add a customer in ServiceM8 and they appear in your accounting software. Update their address in one place and it flows to the other.
No more duplicates. No more sending invoices to an address that changed six months ago.

AI-powered document processing that cut manual work by 85%

Ongoing support included
APIs change. Platforms update. We monitor, maintain, and evolve your integration so it keeps working as your business grows.
I was doing invoices every night after the kids went to bed. Now jobs just flow into Xero when they are done. I have my evenings back.
ServiceM8 integrations by service type
Different services have different workflows. Here is how we tailor the integration.
Cleaning Services
Recurring and one-off cleaning jobs completed in ServiceM8 generate invoices automatically. Great for operators managing 20+ jobs a day across residential and commercial.
Pest Control
Inspection reports, treatment schedules and service agreements managed in ServiceM8. Invoices and customer records sync to accounting without double-handling.
Locksmiths
Emergency callouts and planned jobs logged in ServiceM8 on-site. Invoice generated before the tech drives to the next job. Payment captured on the spot.
Appliance Repair
Service calls logged, parts used recorded, and invoices sent, all from the ServiceM8 app on-site. Parts costs and labour flow into accounting for accurate job costing.
Pool & Garden Maintenance
Recurring service routes completed weekly with photos and checklists. Monthly invoices generated automatically based on completed visits, no manual tallying.
Painting & Decorating
Quote accepted, job scheduled, work completed, invoice sent. The whole workflow stays connected between ServiceM8 and accounting without spreadsheets in between.
Common questions about ServiceM8 integration
Can you connect ServiceM8 to Xero or MYOB?
Yes. It is the most common ServiceM8 integration we build. Completed jobs create invoices, customers sync both ways, and payment status flows between systems. A quick call is enough to confirm what makes sense for your setup.
I am a solo operator. Is this worth it for a small business?
Often, yes. If you are spending an hour a day on admin that could be automated (invoicing, data entry, reconciliation) the integration pays for itself quickly. We scope it so the investment matches the size of the business.
How much does a ServiceM8 integration cost?
A standard job-to-invoice and customer sync integration typically runs $4,000 to $12,000 fixed price. If you need payment reconciliation and reporting on top, expect $10,000 to $20,000. We will give you a clear number after a short call.
How long does it take?
Most ServiceM8 integrations are live within 4 to 6 weeks. Simpler setups (just invoice sync) can be faster. We will confirm timing during scoping.
Does this work with ServiceM8 on-site payments?
Yes. When a customer pays on-site via card or records a cash payment in ServiceM8, that payment is matched to the invoice in your accounting software automatically.
What happens if ServiceM8 changes something?
Most clients are on a monthly support plan. When ServiceM8 updates their platform or API, we make sure the integration still works. You do not need to manage it.
Can you migrate our existing data?
Yes. If you have historical jobs, customers and invoices in ServiceM8 that need to align with accounting records, we handle that as part of the go-live process.
Do you work with businesses outside Perth?
We are based in Perth and work Australia-wide. We have ServiceM8 clients in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and regional areas. Remote delivery works well for this kind of project.
