NextMinute

NextMinute is a New Zealand-based job management app for residential builders and tradespeople working in Australia. Quoting, scheduling, cost tracking and invoicing all sit in the one app.

What NextMinute offers

• Quoting — imports price books and templates to speed up quoting, plus takeoffs from separate takeoff or quantity surveying software.
• Scheduling — a Gantt-chart tool assigns jobs and tasks to crew members.
• Timesheets — staff record hours and expenses with photos and voice-to-text notes.
• Site tracking — crews view plans on site and log progress notes and photos.
• Invoicing — turns completed job costs into progress or final invoices and purchase orders.
• Variation tracking — tracks variations against original quotes and reports actual costs versus estimates by job and stage.

Who it works with

Residential builders and tradies in Australia. The company says over 5,000 tradespeople and industry partners use it; it integrates with Xero and MYOB and partners with bodies such as Carpentry Australia and the Landscape Association.
