Six ways we deliver trade-fit job management software
From a custom JMS built from scratch to extensions layered on ServiceM8 / Simpro / Tradify — and the dispatch, mobile and reporting that make either option run cleanly.
-
Custom Trade JMS
Built from scratch around your specific trade workflow — electrical, plumbing, gas fitting, carpentry, fit-outs. Web + mobile app, job tracking, scheduling, quoting, invoicing.
- Electrical · plumbing · gas
- Carpentry · office fit-outs
- Custom workflow design
-
ServiceM8 Extensions
Built on top of your existing ServiceM8 (or Service M8 / Service Mate) to add the custom fields, custom queues, automated workflows and integrations the platform doesn't deliver out of the box.
- Custom queues & job types
- Custom fields & forms
- Workflow automation
-
Simpro & Tradify Extensions
Custom workflows, dashboards and integrations layered onto Simpro or Tradify. Cost-centre reporting, custom field mapping, project codes — your accountant's view, not the platform's default.
- Simpro cost-centre flows
- Tradify custom dashboards
- Job-to-GL mapping
-
Job → Invoice Automation
Jobs signed off in the field become Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks invoices the moment they're marked complete — with tracking categories, BAS line items and tax codes preserved.
- Field sign-off → invoice
- BAS & GST mapping
- Cost-centre tracking
-
Dispatch & Scheduling
Custom dispatch boards, intake forms, technician scheduling and territory routing. SMS / email customer comms automated end-to-end.
- Job intake forms
- Dispatch board
- Customer SMS / email
-
Trade Reporting & Mobile
Live Power BI / Excel dashboards on margin per job, WIP, technician utilisation and outstanding AR. Mobile apps for field staff to capture photos, signatures and time-on-job.
- Live margin dashboards
- Mobile field app
- Photo & signature capture
A job management project, end to end
Three stages. Sandbox build, parallel-run, then cutover on a planned weekend — delivered personally by the founder.
-
Week 0
Workflow Audit
15-minute scoping call. We map your trade workflow (job types, scheduling rules, custom fields, GL mapping) and decide together whether to extend an existing platform or build custom. Fixed-price quote inside 48 hours.
-
Weeks 1–4
Build or Extend
Sandbox build — either a new JMS or an extension layer on ServiceM8 / Simpro / Tradify. Parallel-run with your current process for a week before cutover. Every workflow rule and tax code mapped explicitly.
-
Weeks 5–6
Cutover & Handover
Live cutover on a planned weekend that avoids BAS and end-of-month. Field-team training, office-team training, documentation. 30 days of post-launch support included by default.
Before you book the scoping call
We're looking at ServiceM8 / Simpro / Tradify — should we buy one of those instead of building custom?
Often yes. Off-the-shelf platforms cover 70–80% of most trade workflows. Where custom development helps is the remaining 20–30% — the custom fields, the specific reporting your accountant needs, the workflow rules that don't fit the platform's template. The scoping call covers both options honestly — sometimes we'll recommend you go straight to ServiceM8 and just need a setup helper, not a developer.
How much does a custom job management system cost?
Fixed-price after a 15-minute scoping call and a discovery session. A ServiceM8/Simpro/Tradify extension typically takes 3–6 weeks. A custom-built JMS for a single-trade business with web + mobile typically runs 8–16 weeks. The cost is known before any code is written. No hourly billing that drifts.
We're an Australian electrical / plumbing / gas / carpentry business — do you know our workflow?
Yes. We've built and extended job management systems for every trade — electrical (AS/NZS 3000 compliance), plumbing, gas fitting (gas certificates and CoCs), carpentry (cost-plus and fixed-price fit-outs), HVAC, solar. The scoping session covers your trade-specific rules — RCD test records, gas type II certificates, fit-out variations, prime cost items — and how they need to be handled.
Will my office staff need to learn a completely new system?
Depends on the path. If we extend ServiceM8 / Simpro / Tradify, your team keeps using the platform they know — they just get new automations and custom fields. If we build a custom JMS, training is part of the project (typically a half-day for office staff, an hour for field techs).
Do we own the code if you build it custom?
Yes. Every engagement results in working code that you own outright. No per-seat SaaS subscription to us. You can take the codebase to another developer at any time. Hosting stays on your AWS, Azure or DigitalOcean account so the running cost is at cloud pricing, not agency mark-up.
What about integrations to Xero / MYOB / QuickBooks?
Built in by default. Every JMS we build or extend includes accounting integration — Xero, MYOB AccountRight / Business, QuickBooks, NetSuite. Jobs become invoices automatically when signed off. Tracking categories, BAS line items and GST handled.
Field staff need a mobile app — is that part of it?
Yes. Custom JMS builds include a mobile app (iOS + Android via React Native) or progressive web app for field technicians — job assignment, photo capture, signature, time-on-job, parts used. Extensions to ServiceM8 / Simpro / Tradify use the platform's existing mobile app and add custom data where needed.
When can we start?
Scoping call within 48 hours of your enquiry. Project kickoff typically 2–3 weeks after the quote is approved. Most projects deliver inside 6–12 weeks depending on scope.
