Septic pumping software for Australian businesses
Quote the pump-out while they're still on the phone, book the run before the hose is wound back on, and have the invoice paid before the tank lid's back down. All of it from your phone, all of it on one flat price.
Quotes that price the tank, not the guesswork
A pump-out quote writes itself once your prices are set: the tank size at your rate, the call-out as its own line, the tricky-access surcharge when the truck can't get close, and the inspection if they want one. jobmate247 line items are a rate times a quantity, which covers every way a liquid waste business charges: per tank, per service, per litre where you need it. Quote it over the phone, send it before the call ends.
Your environmental authority, on every document
Transporting regulated waste in Queensland runs on an environmental authority under the Environmental Protection Act 1994: ERA 57, the licence every operator in this trade holds. jobmate247 prints your EA number on every quote and invoice you send, alongside any other licence or accreditation you hold, so councils, agents and commercial clients can see you're the real thing before the truck's even booked.
Your tank sizes live in your price book
The 3,000-litre pump-out. The 5,000. The grease trap service. The call-out. Save every service 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 the call comes at the desk or halfway up a driveway in the ute.
Grease traps run on a cycle. So does your calendar
Grease traps have to be serviced by a licensed liquid waste operator on a schedule, and that schedule is your steadiest work. Set the job as recurring in jobmate247 and every service lands in your calendar on cycle with a draft invoice already raised: send it the moment the trap's been pumped. Septic regulars are the same story on a longer clock: when the same tank comes around again, the client's history is one tap away.
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 run before you leave
A commercial client with one grease trap usually has three. Book the next service while you're on site: 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 whole history is right there.
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 septic business software in Australia?
- The best septic business software is the one that matches how the trade actually sells: a price over the phone, a booked run, an invoice when the lid goes back on. jobmate247 covers that whole workflow, whether you call it septic software or liquid waste software, for A$35 a month flat: no per-user fees, no job limits.
- Can jobmate247 handle how septic and liquid waste businesses charge?
- Yes. Every line item is a rate times a quantity, and that covers the trade's whole spread: a fixed price per tank size, a call-out fee as its own line, per-litre rates where volume matters, access surcharges, and an inspection as an add-on. Mix them on one quote, the totals take care of themselves.
- What licences does a liquid waste business need?
- In Queensland, transporting regulated waste requires an environmental authority for ERA 57 under the Environmental Protection Act 1994, with waste tracking obligations attached, and disposal to sewer runs through your water authority's trade waste arrangements. Councils oversee on-site sewage facilities. Check the regulators for how your operation sits. jobmate247 displays your EA number and any other licence on every quote and invoice you send.
- Is jobmate247 like waste management software?
- Waste management software is built for a different buyer: councils and multi-truck fleets running route optimisation, tank monitoring, weighbridges and standing contracts. If that's you, you need one of those platforms. jobmate247 is for the operator with a truck and a phone who quotes the pump-out, books it in and invoices it: the whole quote-to-payment workflow on one flat price.
- Does jobmate247 do route optimisation, tank monitoring or waste tracking paperwork?
- No, honestly, none of those. There's no route planner, no tank-level monitoring, and your waste tracking obligations stay with the regulator's own process. What jobmate247 does is the business side: quotes, scheduling with calendar invites, invoices, reminders and payments. Tank details live happily in the job title and notes.
- Can I save my standard prices?
- Yes. The price book holds every service you price the same way: the 3,000-litre pump-out, the 5,000, the grease trap service, the call-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 septic 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 truck, the depot, or the kitchen table.
