NextMinute

Does NextMinute talk to my accounting software like Xero or MYOB?

It sure does. It features a two-way sync with Xero, MYOB, and QuickBooks, which means your financial data flows back and forth automatically. You won't have to waste time entering the same supplier bills or invoices twice.

Is the mobile app easy enough for the crew to use on-site?

We've made it simple so even the apprentice can get it right. From their phone, the crew can log timesheets, snap site photos, view site plans, and add notes to the site diary without having to touch a pen or paper.

Can I track whether I'm actually making a profit on a job?

You get real-time reporting that compares your actual costs against your original estimates. You can see your gross profit and margins by project or even by specific job stages, so you know exactly where you're making money or losing it.

What exactly is NextMinute and how does it help my trade business?

NextMinute is an all-in-one job management app purpose-built for Aussie residential construction. It acts like a digital tool belt for your business, helping you ditch the paper mess and handle quoting, scheduling, timesheets, and invoicing all in one spot so you can get your weekends back.

How does the job scheduling work if we get rained off site?

The scheduling uses a drag-and-drop Gantt chart with dependencies. If you're delayed by weather or a subbie doesn't show, you just move one task and the rest of the job stages will automatically shift to match the new timeline.

Which trades is this software actually built for?

It's designed specifically for residential construction teams like builders, chippies, landscapers, roofers, and renovation specialists. It’s perfect for crews of three or more people who are running multi-stage projects rather than just quick one-off callouts.

How do I handle client variations without losing track of costs?

Managing variations is a breeze with the app. You can track the extra labour and material costs against specific job stages, ensuring you’re actually getting paid for the extra work instead of it chewing up your margin.

Who do I talk to if I need a hand setting things up?

You'll deal with our AU-based support team — legends like Tarsha or Ryan who actually understand the Aussie construction industry. We offer onboarding and training for life to make sure you're getting the most out of the software.
