One job, from the front desk to the field to your books.
A job booked out front flows straight to dispatch, onto a technician's phone, back as a signed-off completion, and into an invoice ready for Xero or MYOB. No double handling, no paperwork run back to the office.

Book & dispatch
Raise a job from anywhere, then drag it onto the right crew member on the dispatch board.
Do the work
Technicians see only their jobs, sign H&S, clock on, add parts and capture the customer's signature.
Get paid
Sign-off raises a draft invoice automatically, approve it and it syncs straight to your accounts.
How a job runs through SKEDS
Five stages take you from a blank workspace to live jobs, field sign-offs and synced invoices. Set the foundations once, then watch every job follow the same clean path.
Set it up once
Configure your workspace and SKEDS applies it to every job, invoice and report, so the numbers are right from day one.
- Currency, GST & payment terms set once, 15% GST itemises automatically.
- Office address & mileage rate, travel is added to each job as a billable line.
- Add your team with roles, pay rates and trade responsibilities.
- Bring your history across from Fergus, ServiceM8, Simpro, Tradify or AroFlo.
Book & schedule the work
Raise a new job from any screen. The dispatch board shows the whole day, drag unassigned work straight onto a crew member to send it out.
- New job from anywhere, SKEDS suggests common job titles for your trade.
- Drag-to-assign on the dispatch board, with every site plotted on the map.
- Day, week & month views on the schedule, filterable by crew.
- Auto-notify crew the moment a job lands on their plate.
Run the job in the field
The mobile field view turns a phone into a job sheet. Safety is signed before work can start, time tracks while on the tools, and stock comes off as parts are added.
- Sign-before-start, the job (and its billing) is blocked until H&S is signed on site.
- Clock on to tally billable hours, and tick off the checklist with photos and notes.
- Add parts used, inventory is decremented and labour totalled automatically.
- Customer sign-off on the spot, with the GST-inclusive total shown.
Invoice & get paid
Completing a job in the field raises a draft invoice automatically: labour, parts and mileage already itemised. An admin approves, and it syncs to your accounting package.
- Draft invoice on sign-off, no paperwork back at the office.
- Approve & send pushes to Xero or MYOB via their API, logged against your name.
- Payments & retention tracked, with a % held back on large contracts.
- Receivables ageing into 30 / 60 / 90-day buckets on the dashboard.
Track performance
Your dashboard answers the daily questions at a glance; reporting lets you slice the detail and export it for the accountant or a board pack.
- Headline KPIs, jobs completed, revenue incl GST, completion rate and H&S compliance.
- Cash flow, ready-to-invoice, awaiting payment and paid, plus ageing.
- Needs-attention queue, unassigned jobs, unsigned H&S and overdue invoices.
- Export CSV or PDF for the team meeting or your accountant.
The bits that keep a trade business honest
Electrical, plumbing, HVAC, drainage and general trades, SKEDS is shaped around how the work actually runs on site and in the office.
Health & Safety, enforced
A versioned library of safety docs, attached per job and signed on site before work, and billing, can begin.
Roles that fit the rail
Five access levels mean each person sees exactly what they should, the navigation adapts automatically.
Inventory that chases itself
Track cost, sell price and on-hand stock. Low-stock and out-of-stock flags do the reordering nudge for you.
Bring your history with you
Import clients, job history, invoices, quotes and stock in four steps. Nothing changes until you confirm.
Synced to your accounts
Approved invoices push to Xero or MYOB via their API, with GST itemised and the action logged against your name.
Travel billed by default
SKEDS measures the drive from your depot to each site and adds mileage as a separate line, at your rate plus GST.
Everyone gets the right access
Give each person the lowest role that lets them do their job. The rail and the available actions adapt to match, there's nothing to hide manually.
Your office, your field and your books, in sync.
Stand up your workspace, get your crew on the tools, and run a job end-to-end. Start free with one user and add seats as you grow.
