Handyman software for Australian businesses
Quote the whole job list at the front door, book it in before you're back at the ute, and have the invoice paid before the last picture frame's hung. All of it from your phone, all of it on one flat price.
Quotes that itemise the job list
A handyman quote is never one line. It's the call-out, the hours, the flat-pack wardrobe, the two door handles and the silicone. jobmate247 line items work the way you charge: a rate times a quantity, whether that's hours at your hourly rate, a fixed price per job off your list, or materials at cost. Build the quote at the front door, send it before you leave the driveway.
Know where the handyman line is
Queensland draws the handyman line by job value: under the cap, general repairs and maintenance don't need a licence, and above it, QBCC licensing takes over. Electrical, plumbing and gas work always belong to the licensed trades, no matter how small the job. If you do hold a licence or accreditation, jobmate247 prints it on every quote and invoice you send, so agents and owners can see you're the real thing before they say yes.
Your rate card lives in your price book
Call-out fee. Hourly rate. Flat-pack assembly. TV wall mount. Door handle swap. Save every job you price the same way as an item in your price book, and the next quote builds itself: tap the items, set the quantities, done. No more working it out from scratch in the ute with the client waiting at the door.
Property managers send the repeat work
Ask any handyman where the steady work comes from and the answer is agents and property managers. jobmate247 client records are built for exactly that: one agency as the client, every rental address saved as its own site, and each job carrying the address it belongs to. The invoice goes to the office, the work order history stays in one place, and nobody's digging through texts to find which property the towel rail was for.
Invoices that chase themselves
Send the invoice from the driveway, and if it isn't paid on time, jobmate247's automatic reminders follow it up for you. Clients get a share link with a clear how-to-pay block, so there's no "I never got it" and no awkward phone call. You do the work; let the software chase the money.
Book the next visit before you leave
A happy client always has more on the list. Book the next visit while you're still there: the job goes in your calendar and a calendar invite lands in theirs, so nobody forgets and nobody double-books. When a regular rings up again, their history is one tap away.
Bring your client list with you
Import your clients from a CSV or straight out of Cashflow Manager with your account codes kept intact, and export invoices as a CSV formatted for Xero or MYOB for your bookkeeper.

Frequently asked questions
- What's the best handyman business software in Australia?
- The best handyman business software is the one that matches how you actually work: quoting a mixed job list, scheduling around regulars, and invoicing the same day. jobmate247 covers that whole workflow, whether you call it handyman software or property maintenance software, for A$35 a month flat: no per-user fees, no job limits.
- Can jobmate247 handle how handymen charge?
- Yes. Every line item is a rate times a quantity, and that covers a handyman's whole spread: an hourly rate against hours worked, a call-out fee as its own line, a fixed price for a defined job, half-day and full-day rates, and materials charged at your price. Mix them on one quote, the totals take care of themselves.
- Do handymen need a licence in Queensland?
- Queensland's rule works on job value: general repairs and maintenance under the cap don't need a licence, and above it, QBCC licensing applies. Electrical, plumbing and gas fitting always require the licensed trade, whatever the job's size. Check QBCC's guidance for where your work sits. If you hold a licence or accreditation, jobmate247 displays it on every quote and invoice.
- Is jobmate247 like the marketplace apps that find handyman work?
- No, and that's deliberate. Marketplace and lead-gen apps are where customers post tasks and handymen bid for them: they help you find work. jobmate247 is for running the work you've already won: quoting it, scheduling it, invoicing it and getting paid. Plenty of handymen use both; they do different jobs.
- Does jobmate247 do online customer booking or find me leads?
- No, honestly, neither. There's no customer-facing booking page and no lead marketplace: you take the enquiry, you quote it, you book it in. jobmate247 keeps the workflow after the phone rings: quotes, scheduling, invoices, reminders and payments, all on one flat price.
- Can I save my standard prices?
- Yes. The price book holds every job you price the same way: call-out, hourly rate, flat-pack assembly, TV mounting, the lot. Building a quote becomes tapping the items and setting quantities, and your pricing stays consistent from job to job.
- What does jobmate247 cost?
- A$35 per month flat, GST inclusive. No per-user fees, no limits on jobs, quotes or invoices, and no job credits to run out of halfway through the month.
- Is there a handyman app?
- jobmate247 runs in the browser on any phone, so there's nothing to install from an app store. Add it to your home screen and it opens just like an app. Quote, schedule and invoice from the ute, the front door, or the kitchen table.
