With over 10-years’ experience using job management apps for our admin support clients, we have developed a deep understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of each system from a user perspective. Thus, we are uniquely placed to give our clients an honest and accurate opinion of which job management system will best suit their business and needs.


We are happy to talk to any trade or services business owner about what job management app will best suit your business and give recommendations based off that discussion. Then if you require it, we can help you set it up properly. Whether that’s from scratch or if you’re migrating from a different job management software. If that’s the case, we will set up your new system and then migrate important historical customer and job data from your old system over to the new one. If you’re already set up on a system and happy with it, but require some tweaks, new additions, or further training, we can help you there too.


Choosing the right job management app for tradies is critical to your business success. The wrong job management software risks wasting time, losing jobs and information, losing track of staff and costs, or worse, you risk losing face with your customers. Office Shed will advise you on all the benefits and pricing of each. You can compare all solutions, we can set you up with a trial, then help you select and set up the most suitable for your trades or services business.


You’ll have up-to-date information, accurate customer details, work orders and quote requests updated as they come in, whilst work can be scheduled and allocated to the appropriate staff. Most importantly, labour, materials and other costs will be recorded at the time and billed on the day of completion.


All top apps for tradies sync with Xero, so there’s no double entry. Our advantage is we continuously use these programs on a daily basis, so we understand what the user experience is actually like for tradies. The daily maintenance of job management software is included in our admin support packages.

I’ve been using officeshed for 5 years now and can not fault them. Jay and her team are fantastic answering all my calls and getting all my admin sorted. Tash is a great manager on my account and a pleasure to chat to everyday. My business wouldn’t run without them!

I have been with office shed for over 2 years. Before I used their service I was a typical tradie/ small business owner working until 11pm each night. When I took on their service, they slowly took away all the little admin jobs that eat away at your day. I now finish at 5pm, I am less stressed, I have more time with my family. I can’t recommend their admin and support services highly enough. Dan
