Job management software
for Australian tradies
& service businesses.

What is Flowody?

Flowody is all-in-one job management software for trade and field service businesses. It brings job scheduling, quoting, invoicing, job costing, digital forms with e-signatures, GPS job check-in, and customer management into one platform — replacing the spreadsheets, paper forms, group chats, and disconnected apps most service businesses juggle today.

It's built in Australia for electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, builders, landscapers, cleaners, and maintenance contractors — from sole traders to growing field-and-office teams. The office runs everything from the web dashboard while field crews use the iOS and Android app to check in to jobs, complete forms, and upload photos on site. Two-way Xero and QuickBooks integration keeps the books in sync, and Stripe handles payments with automatic receipts.

How Flowody runs a job end to end

Most trade software handles one slice of the job and leaves you re-typing the rest. Flowody keeps the whole lifecycle attached to one record, so the customer, site, schedule, paperwork, costs and invoice never drift apart.

Quoting and invoicing

Build branded quotes from saved line items, send them for the customer to accept from a public link, and convert an accepted quote into a job without re-entering anything. Invoice on completion, combine several small jobs onto one invoice, and take payment through Stripe — a branded receipt goes out automatically the moment the customer pays.

Scheduling and dispatch

Plan every crew member and job on one drag-and-drop calendar with day, week and month views. Assign several people to a job and give each their own time blocks across multiple days, then push changes out by notification instead of a round of phone calls.

Job costing

Record materials and labour against the job while the work is running and compare them to the quoted value, so you know the margin before the invoice goes out. Cost reports and a financial summary show which work is actually worth taking.

GPS job check-in and attendance

Crews check in and out of jobs from the mobile app, and each check-in records distance-to-site data so attendance at the job address can be verified. This is attendance verification, not live tracking — there is no map following your team between jobs.

Digital forms and signatures

Build your own forms with the drag-and-drop form builder — safety forms, SWMS, risk assessments, PPE checklists, handover sheets and custom job sheets. Complete them on site, capture a signature on the device or send a secure signing link, and keep them attached to the job.

Customers, sites and contacts

Customers, individual sites and contacts are separate but linked records, which is what you need when one builder has five sites or the person who books the work is not the person who pays. Job history, quotes, invoices, files and notes stay searchable against both the customer and the address.

Xero, QuickBooks and mobile

Two-way Xero and QuickBooks integration keeps invoices and payments in sync without re-keying, and Google Calendar and Outlook are supported too. Field teams work from the iOS and Android app — schedule, check-in, forms and photo uploads — while the office runs everything from the web dashboard.

Who Flowody is for

Flowody suits Australian businesses that quote, schedule and invoice work done at customer sites — sole traders through to teams running a mixed field-and-office operation. It is a good fit if you are outgrowing spreadsheets and paper job sheets, if jobs or invoices occasionally slip, or if your crew and your office are working from different versions of the truth.

It is a weaker fit if you need deep trade-specific modules — a built-in test-and-tag register, a refrigerant log or automatic certificate generation, for example. Flowody lets you build your own forms and store compliance documents against each job, but it does not generate compliance certificates for you. If that is the deciding factor, it is worth knowing before you start a trial rather than after.

Choosing job management software in Australia

Most platforms in this market demo well, so it helps to compare them on the things that actually cost you money later:

• Pricing model. Per-user pricing combined with feature tiers is where bills escalate — check what your team costs in two years, not today. Flowody starts at $30 AUD/month for the first admin seat, adds seats individually, and includes every feature on every plan. See pricing.
• Quote to invoice. Does an accepted quote become a job and then an invoice without anything being re-typed?
• Forms. Can you build your own, or are you stuck with the templates the vendor ships?
• Accounting sync. Two-way, or a one-way export that still leaves someone reconciling by hand?
• The mobile app. Your crew decides whether the rollout succeeds — trial it with them, not just with the office.
• Lock-in. Contract length, and whether you can get your data out again.

The most reliable test is to run one real job end to end during a free trial — quote it, schedule it, complete the on-site form, cost it, invoice it and take the payment. Our buyer's guide goes through the comparison in more detail.
