Smart scheduling

Move one urgent job, not the whole afternoon

Drag the overflow into the gap between two stormwater jobs. The crew sees it before the gear is loaded and nobody has to ring around to explain.

The choke that rings before you have opened the gate.

Sewage does not wait for office hours. Your booking page takes the callout at your attendance rate and puts it in the run before anyone has picked up a phone.

  • Attendance charged, then the hour

    Set what turning up costs and what the hour after it costs, so the price is settled before the chamber lid is off.

  • The photo comes with the job

    What is coming up the gully, where the chamber is, whether the truck will get down the side. On the booking, not in a text you lose.

  • Out of hours is a different price

    Bookable hours are the ones you actually answer, and an emergency rate is an option on the service rather than a second business.

When two days of rain fills the week.

Drainage arrives in weather. The phone goes at once and your page has nothing on it, which is the moment people ring the next name down.

  • Booked reads as booked

    No slots left says so plainly, so the customer asks to go on the list rather than assuming you have shut.

  • Urgent still gets through

    A surcharging line comes in as a message with the address and the photo, and you answer it between jobs.

  • The flat week after fills itself

    Camera runs and quotes that can wait book into the following week, so the dry spell is not empty.

A booking request inside a message thread, answered with accept or decline without leaving the conversation.

Drain in the back yard is overflowing every time the toilet flushes. Can anyone come today?

The same junction, for the third time.

Two clears and a camera run against one address. That history is what turns a cut-the-roots-again call into a lining quote they say yes to.

A day on the schedule where one job is dragged from one time to a later one and snaps into place on the grid.

The day changes by ten in the morning.

One clear turns into a dig and everything behind it shifts. That is the job, and the calendar should move with it.

A map with three service areas shaded over a street grid, and a list of territories beneath, each a group of districts with its crew.

The quote that lands after the next storm.

Nobody signs off a reline the day they get it. See which ones have been opened, and which address is one wet week away from ringing you back.

Every job on the truck

From a blocked gully to a new connection

Blocked gully traps and overflowing wastewater

Books as an urgent callout with an attendance charge and an hourly rate after it, so the price is agreed before the lid comes up.

CCTV drain surveys

A short fixed-price booking with the report as the thing you sell. The repair quote goes out against the same customer record.

Hydro jetting and root cutting

Priced by the hour with an option for the heavier nozzle on old earthenware, which is most of the country.

Pipe relining

Quoted as metres of liner, junction reinstatements and prep on separate lines, so a long quote still reads on a phone.

New drainlaying and connections

Multi-day work quoted in stages, with council paperwork and site notes kept on the job rather than in the glovebox.

Stormwater, sumps and downpipe connections

A half or full day booking with an excavation option group, quoted after the site visit rather than over the phone.

Subsoil and section drainage

Priced by the metre with a depth option, which is an option group with a price change rather than a new service.

Septic tank and treatment system servicing

Recurring bookings on a service interval, so the next one is on the calendar before you leave this one.

Pre-purchase drainage reports

Fixed price, tight window, and the report goes back through the thread the agent or the buyer started.

Storm damage and flooded sections

The work that arrives all at once. Urgent jobs come through as messages with the address and photo already attached.

One blocked line, three straight answers.

Clear it now, camera it and cut the roots, or replace the section that fails every winter. One good, better, best estimate, not three.

  • The while-we-are-here options, with Pro

    Pro adds option groups: after-hours attendance, a second access point, spoil cartage, or a heavier jetting rate for old earthenware. Each carries its own price change on the estimate they already opened.

  • Built from what you measured

    Metres, hours and units with rates behind them. Change the length and the total follows instead of being retyped.

  • Out before you drive off

    The camera comes out of the pipe and the quote goes from the ute, which is when they are most likely to say yes.

  • One number, once

    Estimate numbers are set once behind a confirm, so two versions of the same quote cannot end up with the same number.

Pro: the slot that adds the least driving.

When someone books a camera run, the open times get ranked by how much extra driving each one adds to the day you already have.

  • Ranked, not rearranged

    Nothing already booked moves. The better times just sit higher on the page the customer sees.

  • Suits long gaps between jobs

    A drainage day is a few long jobs with a lot of road between them, which is where ranking pays.

  • Driving is not a charge

    Distance changes which slot is offered first. It never quietly changes the price they are given.

A new job being assigned, with three open slots ranked by how much travel each one adds to the day. The slot that adds the least is marked best.

Paid before you coil the hose.

On drainage work you are either paid at the pit or chasing it for a fortnight, and the difference is whether they can pay while you are there.

  • Cash and transfer cost nothing

    Mark it paid on the job and it is recorded. Free on every plan, permanently.

  • Cards come with Pro

    A link they tap in the driveway, with the receipt landing against the booking rather than in a notebook.

  • Long jobs bill in stages

    A week of drainlaying can be split across stages once the booking exists. Pro, and after the job is on the calendar.

A confirmation that a customer paid one stage of a split card payment at booking, with the next stage due later, paid into the vendor's account.

One app for the whole job

Everything you need to run your drainage business.

Scheduling

Drag an overflowing gully in between two camera runs and the crew sees the new order before the gear is loaded. Free on any plan.

Bookings

The job holds the access notes, the depth, the council paperwork and the photos, so nobody starts the second visit with a call about the gate.

Online booking

Callouts, camera runs and drainlaying sit on a page with your real hours, so a blocked line gets a time instead of a voicemail.

Inbox

The call, the photo of the surcharging trap and the reline quote sit in one thread per customer rather than across three phones.

Estimates

New pipe quotes as metres, bends, a sump, machine hours and reinstatement, each priced, so the number arrives with working attached.

Customers

Every blockage that address has had sits on one record, which is the argument for replacing the line instead of clearing it again.

Territories

Draw the suburbs you genuinely get to and the booking page stops offering a morning slot an hour past where you work.

Team

Each drainlayer has their own hours, areas and run sheet, and roles decide who sees pricing, so an apprentice gets the job not the margins.

Payments

Cash and transfer are recorded by hand and free. Cards come with Pro, and staged billing splits long drainlaying after the booking exists.

Common questions.

No. Registration and annual licensing for drainlayers sits with the Plumbers, Gasfitters and Drainlayers Board, and that is between you and them. Bookables holds the job, the quote and the money, and your licence details go on your own documents.

Estimates are structured lines with a quantity and a rate, so a run of new pipe reads as metres, bends, a sump, hours on the machine and reinstatement, each priced. AS/NZS 3500 work described line by line is easier to say yes to.

Book the site visit or the CCTV inspection as the bookable thing and quote off the back of it. The visit sits on the run sheet as a real job, and is not billed as the work itself.

Your bookable hours are whatever you actually answer. An after-hours rate is an option on the service, so a Sunday callout prices differently without you keeping two sets of books.

Cash and bank transfer are recorded by hand and are free on any plan. Cards come with Pro, and Pro also splits a long drainlaying job into stages billed after the booking exists.

Each person has their own hours, their own areas and their own run sheet, and roles decide who can see pricing. The apprentice gets the job without getting the margins.
