Mins
Quote turnaround
The fastest quote wins the job disturbingly often. Yours goes from evening job to minutes of review.

Details lost in the ute
Voice memos become structured job records automatically. What used to evaporate now files itself.
100%
Owned outright
No per-user subscriptions stacking up as the crew grows. Built once, yours forever.
The shift
Same business. Different day.
Before
Open an old quote at 9pm, change the numbers, hope nothing carried over wrong, send it two days after the enquiry.
After
AI drafts from your actual pricing logic, materials and site photos. You review and send the same day, often within the hour.
Before
Living in text threads, call memory and a notebook in the ute. Anything not written down gets rebuilt from scratch.
After
A 30-second voice memo becomes a structured record: client, site, work done, materials, follow-ups. Searchable forever.
Before
Chasing invoices is unpaid admin nobody enjoys, so it slips, and cashflow tightens for work already done.
After
Polite escalating reminders send themselves at the right intervals. Genuinely overdue accounts get flagged to you.
Before
A whiteboard, a group chat, and one person’s head holding tomorrow together.
After
Jobs, crew and materials in one live view everyone can see from their phone. Changes ripple instantly.
What we build
The five builds that pay for themselves.
Quoting engine
Your pricing logic, materials and margins encoded. Quotes drafted in minutes with nothing carried over wrong.
Voice-note job records
Talk for 30 seconds from the ute, get a structured filed job record. The highest-value automation we build for trades.
Instant lead response
Enquiries answered, qualified and booked within a minute, while you are on the tools. Speed wins work.
Job tracking
Every job from enquiry to paid, with photos, variations and progress visible to whoever needs it.
Invoice follow-up
Human-sounding reminder sequences that improve cashflow with zero awkward phone calls.
Compliance records
Certificates, photos and sign-offs tied to each job for the trades where the paperwork is the point.
Honest verdicts
ServiceM8, Tradify and the rest: the honest read.
We build custom software, and we will still tell you when you do not need it. Keep what works, replace what fights you.
ServiceM8 / Tradify / Fergus
~ DependsGenuinely good for standard residential quote-schedule-invoice loops. Custom wins when your jobs are multi-stage, compliance-heavy, or your quoting logic does not fit their templates.
Xero
✓ KeepKeep it. We sync invoices, payments and contacts with it so nothing is typed twice.
The whiteboard
→ ReplaceServed honourably. A live schedule on every phone does what it did, without being in one room.
Excel job tracker
→ ReplaceThe classic. One live system with permissions and history beats five conflicting copies of jobs_FINAL_v3.xlsx.
Group chat as the system
~ DependsGreat for banter and quick calls, terrible as the record of what was agreed. Decisions belong on the job, not scrolled away.
“Novisi and the team can see every job, every driver and every invoice in one place now. It has genuinely changed how the business runs day to day.”

Questions
Asked by every
trade business owner.
If yours is not here, it is a thirty-minute call away from answered. Free, no obligation, no pitch.
Ask it directly →01What does custom software cost for a trade business?+
Focused builds like a quoting engine or job tracker typically start around $5,000 to $15,000, with single AI automations like invoice follow-up from around $2,000. Everything is quoted fixed after a free call, and the honest ranges are covered in our tradie software guide on the blog.
02Should I just use ServiceM8 or Tradify instead?+
For standard residential work, possibly yes, and we will say so on the call. Custom earns its keep for multi-stage commercial jobs, variations and progress claims, compliance-heavy trades, custom quoting logic, or when you are paying for three tools plus a spreadsheet gluing them together.
03How does the voice note thing actually work?+
You record a normal voice memo after a job. AI transcribes it and extracts the structure: client, site, work done, materials, follow-ups, and files it as a proper job record. Thirty seconds of talking replaces the typing that never happens.
04Will my crew actually use it?+
That is the design goal. It works from their phones, uses your words, and mostly removes work rather than adding it: notes by voice, schedules that just appear, reminders that send themselves. Systems fail when they add admin; this removes it.
05Does it work with Xero?+
Yes, Xero sync is standard: invoices, payments and contacts flow automatically so the books stay right without double entry.
06How fast can something be live?+
Single automations like lead response or invoice follow-up ship in 1 to 6 weeks. A quoting engine or job tracker typically takes 6 to 12 weeks for a focused first version that starts earning immediately.
