Locksmith software for Australian businesses
Give the price on the phone before you turn the ignition, book the rekey around the tenant changeover, and send the invoice while the new keys are still warm. All of it from your phone, all of it on one flat price.
The call-out, the cylinders, the hour: one clean quote
Locksmith pricing has a rhythm: a call-out that moves with the suburb and the hour, rekeying priced per cylinder, hardware supplied and fitted at your rate, and a number the customer agrees to before you leave the yard. jobmate247 line items are a rate times a quantity, which covers all of it on one document. Even the three-in-the-morning lockout gets a price over the phone, and a price given is a price you can send in writing.
Licensed work, and your documents show it
Locksmithing is licensed work, and for good reason: you are the one people trust with the way into their house. In Queensland it sits under the Security Providers Act 1993 with the Office of Fair Trading, through a security provider licence (class 2) covering the security equipment installer and security adviser classes, and a licence is also required to get someone into their vehicle for a fee. Check the regulators for how your work sits. jobmate247 prints your licence numbers on every quote and invoice you send, so the customer at the door and the agent on the phone can both see you're the real thing.
Your rates live in your price book
The call-out for town, the call-out for the far side of the river, the after-hours rate. Rekeying per cylinder, the deadlatch, the security screen lock, the restricted key. Save every rate you price the same way as an item in your price book, and the next quote is tapping the items and setting the quantities. Your pricing stays consistent whether you're quoting from the van or from the bench.
Agents and body corporates send the steady work
One rekey for a property manager has a whole rent roll behind it, and a body corporate has every door in the building. jobmate247 client records handle companies properly: one agency as the client, multiple contacts, and a separate site address on every job, so the invoice goes to the office while you're standing at the unit door. When the same agency rings again, their whole history is one tap away.
Invoices that chase themselves
Send the invoice from the doorstep, 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.
Open it tonight, fit the new one Thursday
Half the trade is the second visit: you got them in tonight, and the proper hardware is on order. Book the return before you pull out of the driveway: the job goes in your calendar and a calendar invite lands in theirs, so nobody forgets and nobody waits home for a van that isn't coming. When a regular rings again, every lock you've touched for them is right there.
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 locksmith business software in Australia?
- The best locksmith business software is the one that matches how the trade actually sells: a price agreed on the phone before you roll, a job booked around the tenant changeover, and an invoice sent while you are still at the door. jobmate247 covers that whole workflow, whether you call it locksmith job management software or locksmith business software, for A$35 a month flat: no per-user fees, no job limits.
- Can jobmate247 handle how locksmiths charge?
- Yes. Every line item is a rate times a quantity, and that covers the trade's whole spread: a call-out that changes with the suburb and the hour, rekeying priced per cylinder, locks supplied and installed at your rate for the type, bench work by the hour, and a fixed price for the whole job when that's how you quote it. Mix them on one document, the totals take care of themselves.
- What licences does a locksmith need?
- It depends on the work and the state. In Queensland, locksmith work sits under the Security Providers Act 1993, administered by the Office of Fair Trading, through a security provider licence (class 2), which covers the security equipment installer and security adviser classes, and a licence is also required to get a customer into their vehicle for a fee. Check the regulators for how your work sits. jobmate247 displays your licence numbers on every quote and invoice you send.
- Is jobmate247 like locksmith dispatch software?
- Dispatch platforms are built for a different buyer: a shop with a phone room and several vans, routing technicians on a live board, tracking key stock across a warehouse and running a call centre. If that's you, you need one of those. jobmate247 is for the locksmith who answers the phone himself, quotes the job, books it in and invoices it: the whole quote-to-payment workflow on one flat price.
- Does jobmate247 do key records, master key charts or hardware stock?
- No, honestly, none of those. There's no key code database, no master key charting, and no stock or hardware inventory. What jobmate247 does is the business side: quotes, scheduling with calendar invites, invoices, reminders and payments. The keyway, the lock type and the key code live happily in the job title and notes, and a client's past jobs sit on their record.
- Can I save my standard prices?
- Yes. The price book holds every rate you price the same way: the call-out for each zone you cover, the after-hours rate, rekeying per cylinder, the deadlatches and security screen locks you fit week in, week out. 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 locksmith 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, book and invoice from the van, the bench, or the kerb outside a locked front door.
