Pick the plan that fits your crew — and see what you leave behind.
Every SKEDS plan runs the same job flow: book it, dispatch it, run it in the field, invoice it, and sync it to your accounts. The difference is how many people ride along.

SKEDS vs the old way
Most trade businesses don’t switch from other software — they switch from a whiteboard, a group chat and a pile of paper. Here’s what changes.
| The job | Whiteboard + group chat + spreadsheets | SKEDS |
|---|---|---|
| Booking a job | Phone call → sticky note → hope | Booked once, visible to office and field instantly |
| Dispatching the crew | Texts, calls, “where are you?” | Drag onto the board; the tech gets the job, site, notes and directions |
| Site safety records | Paper forms in the ute, if at all | Timestamped hazards, checklists and sign-ins on every job |
| Materials used | Scribbled on the job sheet, often unbilled | Logged in the field, priced from your price book, on the invoice |
| Invoicing | Re-typed into Xero days later | Generated from the job and synced to Xero or MYOB |
| Knowing what made money | Gut feel | Job costing: estimate vs actual, per job and per client |
Comparing SKEDS with other job management software?
If you’re weighing SKEDS against other tools, these are the questions worth asking any vendor — including us:
| Ask | The SKEDS answer |
|---|---|
| Does the field app work when coverage drops? | Jobs keep running offline and sync when you’re back in range. |
| Is Health & Safety built in, or a bolt-on? | Built into the job flow — a job can require its safety steps before it can be closed. |
| Does it talk to my accounts package? | Xero and MYOB sync, with QuickBooks on the roadmap. |
| Can I bring my existing job and client history? | Import & migrate tools bring clients, jobs and price books across. |
| What does it cost as the crew grows? | Per-seat pricing with volume discounts from 4 seats — no lock-in contracts. |
| Can I get my data out again? | Yes — your data stays yours, exportable at any time. |
