It is built for the kind of work that runs for weeks or months rather than closing out the same day, whether you have one big build on the go or ten jobs running side by side, and for crews of 3 to 30 who spend their days on the tools. Most trade businesses do not lose money on the jobs they quoted badly. They lose it on the jobs they never costed at all. Hours land on a scrap of paper, materials get bought and forgotten, a variation gets agreed in the driveway and never written down, and by the time the invoice goes out nobody can say what the job actually made. NextMinute closes that gap by keeping the quote, the schedule, the timesheets, the receipts and the variations attached to the one job, from first estimate to final invoice. Job costing and back-costing is where it earns its keep. Every job, and every stage inside a job, tracks estimated against actual labour, materials and variations, updating as the work happens rather than three weeks after handover. You can see a job trending over budget while there is still time to do something about it, and you can look back across the business to see which types of work, which clients and which crews are genuinely profitable. Quoting and estimating flows straight into the live job, so the numbers you priced are the numbers you measure against. No rebuilding the estimate in a spreadsheet, no separate version of the truth. Scheduling is built around a build sequence rather than a dispatch queue. You can plan who is on which job, in which week, across every job in flight, and move things when the weather or a late delivery forces your hand. The mobile app is the part your crew actually touches, so it is deliberately simple. Timesheets, photos, site notes, job details and plans, captured on site by people in boots, not re-typed in the office at 7pm. Office and site see the same job, which cuts out most of the phone calls. Variations get recorded and signed off, so extra work turns into extra revenue instead of an awkward conversation at the end. Clear records of job progress and quote acceptance also keep client disputes from turning into arguments about who agreed to what. Two-way sync with Xero, MYOB and QuickBooks means invoices, bills and payroll-ready hours move between systems without anyone keying the same data twice. NextMinute is a strong fit if your jobs run for weeks or months, you have 3 or more people to coordinate between office and site, and you could not confidently say which of last quarter's jobs made money. The businesses that get the most out of it are builders doing new builds, renovators and alteration specialists, roofers, landscapers doing design and build work, concreters, tilers, decking and fencing crews, and light commercial fit-out teams. Pricing is month to month with no lock-in contract and no minimum term, priced on the size of your crew, with unlimited jobs and full feature access on every plan. A 10-day free trial is available, and support is included for every customer. > > Verdict: Rated **4.4/5** by 18 users.

I love the job planning feature for my bigger jobs and I have a live view of my finances and job profitability. > > **Cons**: It's not quite field service. I knew that going in when I did the trial but the other features are so good and its so cheap, I've stuck with NextMinute. So, I don't really have any cons. > > Awesome.
