Overview
Tradify is purpose-built for trade businesses from 1 to 20 staff. Built by a plumber and launched in 2012, it's one of the most widely used job management platforms in Australia and New Zealand.
The workflow is simple: create a job from a customer enquiry, assign it to a technician, generate a quote, complete the job on mobile, and convert to an invoice in a few taps. Xero and MYOB integrations mean invoices land in your accounting software automatically.
Strengths: The mobile app is genuinely good, clean, fast, and works offline on-site. Most tradies are up and running within a day. The quoting tool handles parts, labour, and markup with reasonable accuracy for most trades.
Limitations: Tradify starts to creak for businesses with 20+ staff, complex inventory, or multi-stage construction projects. Reporting is basic compared to platforms like Simpro or AroFlo.
If you're a sole trader or small team moving off spreadsheets and WhatsApp, Tradify is the most accessible starting point in the market.

Aussie-built field service app with a pay-per-job pricing model instead of monthly seats. The iOS app is genuinely great, Android has historically been a step behind.

Fergus
Built by a plumber who was sick of losing money on jobs, so the cost tracking is genuinely good. Pulls live supplier pricing from Reece and Tradelink, which saves real time on quotes.

Simpro
Brisbane-built enterprise platform for trade businesses with 20+ staff who've hit the ceiling on simpler tools. Powerful, but budget for a proper implementation, this isn't a weekend setup.
