Numbers you can actually act on

Live revenue dashboard

See turnover by day, week, month or quarter, with quoted, invoiced and paid totals at a glance — no spreadsheets to update.

Job costing & profit

Compare labour, materials and expenses logged against each job to what you quoted, so you know real profit per job, per customer and per trade.

Cash-flow forecast

Project money in and out from accepted quotes, scheduled jobs and outstanding invoices, so you can see a tight month before it arrives.

Custom report builder

Build the reports you care about — filter by date, customer, team member, trade or job status — and save them to run again in one click.

Outstanding & aged debt

Track who owes what and how overdue it is, so chasing late payers becomes a quick, prioritised list instead of a guessing game.

Export & accounting sync

Export to CSV or PDF, and keep figures aligned with Xero and QuickBooks sync that pushes invoices, payments and contacts across so your reports reconcile with your accounts.
