Fergus Software

Fergus is the secret weapon for smart trades and services businesses!

Fergus is one of the very best job management software apps designed for trades and services businesses. Fergus caters to a variety of service-based trades including electricians, plumbers, builders, HVAC technicians, roofers, and field services professionals. Fergus is well suited to service and maintenance-based trades and also project based tradies working on small to medium scale projects.

What we particularly love about Fergus is its ease of use, with great user-friendly dashboards, the ability to see costs / profitability and logical workflows. It is not overwhelming for those new to job management software but has great depth and functionality to suit most tradies, and for its price it offers more features than other job management apps at a similar price point. Fergus’ ability to track purchases and costs gives it better job reporting than some other platforms. Other Fergus’ features include job tracking, quoting, scheduling, and invoicing, which are designed to streamline operations and improve business efficiency.

Fergus’ key benefits include:

Time-saving

Automates administrative tasks, including invoicing and tracking job costs.

End-to-end job tracking

Access job details, photos, and scheduling in real-time.

Team management

Facilitates communication and tracking via mobile apps.

Supplier and accounting integrations

Sync with over 100 suppliers and accounting tools like Xero, ensuring accurate cost tracking and invoicing.

Fergus is particularly beneficial for trade businesses that need efficient job management and seamless coordination between fieldwork and office administration. The types of trade businesses that will benefit most from using Fergus include:

  1. Electricians: Fergus helps electricians manage job scheduling, tracking, and quoting. It also supports integration with accounting software for seamless invoicing and payments​
  2. Plumbers: For plumbing businesses, Fergus simplifies job tracking, invoicing, and team management. It also allows for effective client communication and service history documentation​
  3. Builders: Construction businesses benefit from Fergus’s ability to break down large jobs into milestones, track progress, and manage variations. This helps builders stay on top of complex projects​
  4. HVAC Technicians: HVAC businesses use Fergus to handle complex scheduling, team assignments, and job card creation. It also helps manage supplier documents and track job costs​
  5. Roofers: Roofing companies use Fergus for job tracking, quoting, and managing customer expectations with detailed job cards. It ensures that all aspects of the job are documented and streamlined​
  6. Field Services: Fergus is ideal for field services that require mobile job management. Its features allow workers in the field to track their progress and communicate with the office, improving overall efficiency​

Trade businesses will benefit from Fergus by improving their operational efficiency, reducing admin time, and enhancing customer satisfaction through better organised workflows.

I cannot speak highly enough of Officehed.

After running my business for 15 years and trying to do everything myself, I finally decided to bite the bullet and bring on administrative support to help take the business to the next level. Looking back, I only wish I had done it sooner.

Officehed has made the entire process incredibly simple and seamless. My VA, (Susan Cadell), has been absolutely outstanding. She is proactive, highly organised, genuinely cares about the success of my business, and has been incredibly hands-on in helping take a huge amount of stress off my shoulders.

The impact on my efficiency and productivity has been remarkable. Over the past six months, Susan has helped implement systems and processes that have taken my business to places I could only dream about before.

I highly recommend Officehed and Susan to any business owner looking to free up their time, reduce stress, improve efficiency, and create the foundation for growth. Engaging their services has been one of the best business decisions I’ve made. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We have been using Office Shed for the last 12 months. Jess has been a life saver for our small business. Hit the ground running right from the start. If Jess was unavailable due to holidays/sickness there were many other amazing people on the admin team that would help our business. Office Shed is absolutely a god send for small businesses. Highly recommend!

Office Shed have been absolute legends to work with. Super reliable, easy to deal with, and they’ve genuinely helped take the pressure off running the business. From sorting out the admin to keeping things organised behind the scenes, they’ve made a massive difference. Althea has been very helpful along the way.

If you’re a tradie looking to get your time back and focus on the tools, these guys are the real deal!

I have been using Officesheds service for years now, and I could not go without their service.
They offer a retainer based admin service, spread across the week, which works perfectly for my plumbing business.
I recommend them highly to anyone in need of help with admin, and day to day operations.
Special thankyou to Kya from the team, who goes above and beyond to make sure all my business admin and job scheduling is running smoothly

I’ve employed the services of Office shed for over a year now and it’s one of the best business decisions I made!

Tamzin has been an integral part of my businesses growth, from scheduling jobs, answering the phone, replying to emails and even setting up fool proof systems using service m8, I’m no longer trapped in the office every night doing admin and can concentrate on what I’m good at, being on the tools!

I would highly recommend office shed to any trade business in the service industry.

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
