The bench and the ute in one diary, fabrication quoted in the metal the customer picks, and call-outs that can only book where you actually drive.

A snapped hinge or a broken tow hitch has a price you already know, so it takes the next real gap while you are still under the helmet.

Workshop time sits beside the on-site jobs, so an install is never promised on a morning the bay is already spoken for.
Learn moreA workshop job and two call-outs are the same Tuesday, not two diaries. One board holds both, so an install is never promised on a morning the bench already owns.
A hinge, a tow hitch, a cracked bracket. Work you can price without seeing it goes on your page and takes the next real gap on its own.
Every fabricator quotes the same handrail three ways: painted mild steel, hot-dip gal, or stainless. Price it once and let them pick.
The customer sees what the metal cost and what the fabrication cost, so a query is about one line rather than the whole number.
They accept and sign online, and the install day lands in the diary without anyone typing the job out a second time.
The quote goes from the phone while you are still parked at the gate, which is usually before the next mob has rung back.
Gal instead of paint, stainless instead of gal, a powder coat, an extra return down the steps. Each carries its own price and moves the total when it is ticked, so nothing gets re-typed at nine at night.
The merchant is short and Thursday is dead. Move the install, and the customer knows before they take the day off work.
Pick the job up and drop it on a day that works. The board rebuilds around it and the job keeps its history.
Move the install and the reminder moves with it, so nobody is standing at a gate on the old date.
Moving work around your own day has never been the paid part and never will be.
Driveway gate has dropped and the hinge is torn out of the post. Can you look at it in Newtown this week?
Steel work backs up. When there is nothing bookable this side of the month, the page says so and takes the job as an enquiry rather than losing it.
Two workplaces need two sets of hours. Set them per welder and the board stops offering a call-out to the one who is fabricating all week.
A fabrication quote sits on a builder's phone beside two others. See what has been read and what has been signed, so the one worth a call is obvious.
Every job in one place whether it happens at the bench or at an address, with what it is, when it is and what it is worth on the row. No second book for the workshop.
Built for your trade
A run of gates and rails quoted off the measurements you took at the yard, with the steel and the fabrication hours on separate lines.
A set price on the everyday patch-up, so a bent drawbar books the next open morning instead of turning into three phone calls.
Measure visit first, quote second. Painted, gal and stainless sit side by side on the one quote and the accepted version books the install.
Weeks of bench time held on the board as workshop days, so nobody sells the same fortnight to a second customer.
Steel, cutting and the install day itemised, signed online by the builder, and in the diary before the concrete is poured.
The machine is down and the customer wants a day. Show the first morning that is genuinely free rather than the one you hope for.
Sheet, folding and fit-out priced as their own lines, so a fit-out queried at the end is queried one line at a time.
Fixed-price fitting work the customer books off your page, with the vehicle and the date on the job before they arrive.
Builders come back every few months. Their sites, their rates and every frame you have hung for them sit on the one card.
The job that jumps the queue. Drop it into the day, push what it displaced, and both customers hear about it the same minute.
The gate is hung and the customer has looked at it. That is the moment to ask, not thirty days after a posted invoice.
Mark the job paid when the money lands. Free on every plan and it will stay that way.
Send a card link from the job while you are winding the leads up, and the receipt goes out on its own.
Ask for the material up front and the balance at install. Staged requests come with Pro and go out once the job is booked.
A call-out an hour up the highway eats the day it was meant to fill. Draw the areas you cover and the page will not take work outside them.
Mark out what the ute covers. An address past it is told straight away instead of a fortnight later.
Drop-off work at the workshop is not gated by an area at all. Only the mobile jobs are.
Inside your area the price is the price. Bookables never quietly adds anything for a longer drive.
Add your whole team and get booking for nothing.

One app for the whole job
Yes, and that split is the point. Put a set price on the jobs you can price blind, a hinge, a tow hitch, a mower deck, and leave balustrades and carport frames as an enquiry that lands as a quote instead. Nobody books you into a number you did not give.
Yes. Bench days and on-site jobs sit on the same board, so a balustrade install cannot land on a Thursday you already owe the workshop. When the steel turns up late, drag the install to the following week and the customer is told.
Yes. Quote painted mild steel and put hot-dip gal and stainless beside it as priced options. The customer ticks one and the total moves with it, so you are not writing the same gate out three times. Priced options come with Pro.
Yes. Draw the areas the ute covers and an address outside them cannot book a mobile job at all. Inside your area the rate is the rate: Bookables never adds anything for a longer run, and drop-off work at the shed is not gated by an area.
Mark the job paid when the transfer lands, which costs nothing on any plan, or send a card link from the job while you are packing up the leads. Cards come with Pro. You can also ask for the steel up front and the balance at install.
No, and it should not pretend to. Bookables holds the job, the quote and the money. Your tickets, your procedures and anything an engineer signs stay with the people who issue them.
