This sheet is for plumbers, electricians, air conditioning contractors, builders, civil contractors, landscapers and subcontractors. The day is a list of jobs at other people's addresses: quoted from the office, run from a phone in the van, invoiced when the paperwork catches up, held together by a job management subscription and Xero or MYOB. Ozwebnet builds websites, web applications, online stores, data platforms and integrations around what you keep — written from scratch in Adelaide for businesses across Australia, source code and IP assigned to you, for one fixed quote.
Most trades businesses run a job management subscription for quotes, scheduling and invoices, with Xero or MYOB for the books; builders add estimating and project software. Each does its job well; most connect to the accounting file. The gaps sit between them: the estimate re-keyed as a job, supplier invoices matched by hand, site photos left in a camera roll, customers ringing to ask where their job is up to, and the margin report built in a spreadsheet.
Job management for small trades crews: job cards, the diary, quotes and invoices done from a phone, with a link to Xero or MYOB. Each models a job one way. A quoting or scheduling flow that works differently, or a connection to software they do not list, sits outside them.
Job management for larger electrical, plumbing, air conditioning and fire contractors: catalogue quoting, scheduling, purchase orders, timesheets, project and maintenance jobs, invoicing, and an accounting link. Both expose an API. Reporting that joins their data with your other systems, and a customer-facing screen that follows your own process, are what gets built around them.
Estimating and job management for residential builders and trades: take-offs from plans, estimates priced from supplier lists, schedules, purchase orders and invoices, with a link to Xero or MYOB. It models the residential estimate-to-invoice path; a client-facing build tracker in your own shape, or figures joined with a separate job or accounting system, are built around it.
Project management for commercial builders and larger contractors: drawings, RFIs, submittals, daily logs, budgets and subcontractor management on one platform, with an API and accounting connectors. It runs the project; the estimating, field service and accounting systems either side of it are separate, and the data passing between them is where an integration earns its place.
The books: invoices, bills, payments, payroll and BAS. Nearly every trades tool posts to one of them, and both have APIs. They record what happened; they do not run the job, and the report that puts hours, materials and invoices side by side has to be built somewhere else.
Rostering and timesheets: shifts, clock-on from a phone, pay rules applied to the hours, and hours pushed to Xero or MYOB payroll. It knows who worked when; it does not know which job they were on, so hours against jobs are keyed a second time unless the two are connected.
Plumbing and electrical wholesalers issue a trade account, an online ordering portal and a price file, and email a PDF invoice per delivery. The price list has to reach your quoting tool and each supplier invoice has to be matched to a job and to the accounting file, both usually by hand.
Where everything the other seven do not cover ends up: the tender register, the margin report, the WIP figure for the accountant, the safety forms, the photos from site. Fine until two people need the same figure and get different answers, which is the point at which a data platform or an internal tool is built.
PRODUCT NAMES BELONG TO THEIR OWNERS. WE CONNECT TO WHAT YOU KEEP; WE DO NOT RESELL ANY OF THEM.
A website built for the searches that bring work: a page per service and per area you cover, licence numbers and insurances stated, photos of real jobs, and a quote-request form that lands in your job management system rather than an inbox. Built for the phone first, because that is where it is read.
THE WEBSITE SHEET →A job management system written around your own process when the subscriptions do not fit: quote to job to schedule to invoice, a field app for the phone in the van with checklists, photos and signatures, progress claims and variations for longer jobs, and a customer login showing where each job is up to.
JOB MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS →For the trades that sell what they install — hot water systems, air conditioners, sheds, blinds, joinery — a store that prices the product and the installation together, books the install date at checkout, and hands the order to the job system. Made-to-order items get a configurator that quotes from your own price rules.
PRODUCT CONFIGURATORS →One place the job system, Xero or MYOB, timesheets and supplier invoices agree: margin by job and by crew, hours quoted against hours worked, work done but not invoiced, retentions and claims outstanding, next month's load. Read on a screen in the office, or sent as a report on Monday morning.
DASHBOARDS AND REPORTING →The re-keying removed: the estimate becoming the job without retyping, supplier invoices read and matched to the job and the accounting file, Deputy hours landing against jobs, the website enquiry created as a lead in simPRO or ServiceM8, and a builder's Procore project feeding the subcontractor's own job system.
WORKFLOW AUTOMATION →Not sure which? Ten minutes on 1300 699 321 tells you — Mon–Fri 9–5 ACST.
Corvane Homes is a concept build for a premium custom home builder: the homes, the design-and-construct process as milestones the owner can see, the craft, and an enquiry that asks the right questions. Everything on it — the type, the imagery, the phone layout — was designed and coded from scratch, the way a site for your business would be.
Corvane Homes is a fictional business. The page is a concept build, designed and coded by Ozwebnet to show the work — not a client project.
OPEN THE SPECIMEN →
One fixed quote, set in writing before the build and staged against milestones. The scope that sets it — a website, a job system, a customer portal, a report, an integration — is agreed at the specification stage, and you can stop at any milestone and keep a working system.
No. If it runs your jobs, keep it. The build sits beside the job system and the accounting file, not in place of them: the estimate, the hours and the supplier invoice are taken from where they are already entered and put where they are needed next, so nothing is keyed twice.
You do. The source code is delivered and the IP assigned to you at handover, so the system stays yours whoever maintains it later.
Yes. Field screens are built for the phone or tablet in the van: today's jobs, the site details, checklists, photos, a signature, hours and materials, synced back to the office.
Yes, Australia-wide. Adelaide first, remote-capable: discovery, the written specification and every milestone can run over a call, and a web application reaches your crews the same way in any state, through the browser on the phone in the van.
Call, or answer a few short questions — what you run, what breaks, when you need it working — and we reply within one business day. The quote is fixed in writing before any build starts.
