See the real profit on every job, not just the invoice total
Gaffer's job costing tracks labour, materials and margin per job in real time — so you know which work actually makes money, where the slippage is hiding, and exactly how to price the next quote.
Replaces a paper diary, a whiteboard and a WhatsApp group. Every job has one owner, one time and one place to look. The office stops relaying messages and the engineer stops ringing in for the next address.
Every job, every engineer, every day — on one board.
Create a job in seconds, drag it onto the right engineer, and watch it move from booked to on-site to done. The office sees everything; the van sees only what matters.
Owners stop being the human dispatch board. Engineers stop ringing in for the next address.
- Labour costs from engineer time logged on the job
- Materials pulled from purchase orders and supplier bills
- Expense and subcontractor cost lines for the full picture
- Quoted-versus-actual variance so nothing slips quietly
- Costs syncing to Xero and QuickBooks without double entry
- Profit insight across all jobs to guide your pricing and growth
Step 04 of the job: on site
The engineer taps "On my way" and the customer gets a text with an arrival window. On site: clock in, photos, the certificate for the job — EICR, Gas Safety, whatever the trade needs — signed on the device. No signal? It syncs later.
Job costing is one part of that step. The rest of the job — quoting, scheduling, certificates, invoicing and payment — runs in the same system, on the same record. See the whole job →
What does job costing replace?
For most trade businesses, a paper diary, a whiteboard and a WhatsApp group. Every job has one owner, one time and one place to look. The office stops relaying messages and the engineer stops ringing in for the next address.
Does job costing work on a phone, and offline?
Yes. The mobile app is offline-first: records created on site are stored on the device and synced automatically, in order, when signal returns. Lofts, plant rooms and rural sites were the design brief.
Which plan is it on?
Every paid plan. Job costing is included for unlimited users at no extra cost — the monthly, annual and lifetime plans differ only in how you pay.
