Sound familiar around Brisbane?
- Storm season turning a booked month into a queue nobody can see the end of
- Emergency call-outs dispatched by ringing around to find who is free
- Work spread from Ipswich to the bay with the river cutting the city in half
- Insurance and make-safe jobs where the paperwork matters as much as the work
- Jobs finished in the field but invoiced weeks later
Flowody replaces the spreadsheets, paper forms, and group chats with one platform your whole Brisbane business runs on.
Running jobs across Brisbane
Brisbane's defining scheduling problem is volatility — a summer storm can generate more call-outs in two days than a normal month. Here is how the system holds up under that.
Absorbing a storm-season backlog
After a serious storm the constraint stops being the work and becomes the queue. Jobs come in faster than anyone can write them down, and the ones that get lost are the ones that only ever existed as a phone call. Putting every enquiry in as a job record — even before it is scheduled — means the backlog is visible and sortable rather than living in a notebook. Every worker and booking sits on one drag-and-drop calendar, so triaging a week of make-safe work is a matter of dragging jobs into the days you actually have.
Dispatching urgent work without three phone calls
The usual way to dispatch an emergency is to ring people until someone answers. With the whole crew's day visible in one place you can see who is finishing what and assign the job directly, and the assigned worker's phone updates with the address, notes and any files attached. That turns dispatch into an action rather than a negotiation, which is the difference between fitting in six urgent jobs a day and four.
A city split by the river and stretched to Ipswich
Greater Brisbane runs from Ipswich in the west to the bay in the east, and the river forces a small number of crossings that decide how long any given day takes. Grouping jobs by side of the river before the week is locked in saves more time than any individual efficiency. Because the calendar shows every worker at once with day, week and month views, that grouping is something you can see rather than something you have to remember.
Make-safe and insurance work where evidence is the deliverable
On insurance and make-safe jobs the photos, the signed form and the record of who attended and when are half of what you are being paid for. Build your own forms with the drag-and-drop form builder, complete them on site on a phone, capture a signature on the device or send a secure signing link, and attach photos to the job as you go. Everything stays on the job record against the customer and the site, so a claim queried three months later is a search rather than an excavation.
Paperwork stored, not lodged
Queensland trade work has its own document trail and the practical need is retrieval — finding the right signed form later. Each job has folders for certificates and reports, organised by customer and site. Being plain about the limit: Flowody stores and organises those documents. It does not generate compliance certificates and it does not lodge or submit anything to the QBCC or any other regulator.
What Brisbane businesses get
Schedule around real travel time
One drag-and-drop calendar for every person and every booking, with day, week and month views — so you can group jobs by area instead of sending a crew back across the city at 3pm.
GPS check-in with distance-to-site
Crews check in and out from the mobile app and each check-in records distance-to-site data, so attendance at the job address can be verified without tracking anyone between jobs.
Quote, invoice and get paid
Branded quotes that convert to jobs in one click, invoices on completion, Stripe payments with automatic receipts, and two-way sync with Xero or QuickBooks.
Build your own site paperwork
Drag-and-drop form builder for SWMS, risk assessments, hazard reports, PPE checklists and your own job sheets, completed on site with a signature or a secure signing link.
