Custom Software for Trades & Field Service Businesses

A trades business usually outgrows its systems in the same order: the diary becomes a spreadsheet, the spreadsheet becomes three spreadsheets, and then somebody spends every Friday reconciling them. Off-the-shelf field service platforms solve part of it and then charge per user for the parts you do not use, while still not matching how you actually quote.

The alternative is not a bigger platform. It is a small piece of software that does your specific job — the quote format your customers expect, the certificate your regulator wants, the schedule your crews actually follow — and integrates with the accounting package you already pay for.

Common questions

Is custom software worth it for a small trades business?

It depends on what the manual process is costing. If a person spends a day a week moving information between systems, that is the number to compare against — not the subscription you are replacing.

Can it work with Xero or MYOB?

Yes. Integrating with the accounting package you already use is normally part of the build, not a replacement for it.

How long does something like this take?

A focused first version is usually weeks rather than months. We scope it so the first release solves the one process that hurts most, then build out from there.

Not sure which way to go?
