The best job scheduling app trusted by Australian tradies

Simple job scheduling,
built for
trade businesses

Plan, assign and track every job without paper diaries or double-bookings. A clear visual calendar, drag-and-drop scheduling and real-time updates keep your office staff and field employees organised - so jobs stay on track and nothing slips.

SCHEDULING

Visual calendar with drag-and-drop scheduling

Keep the day clear with a customisable calendar. Switch between day, week and month views, see every job at a glance, and colour-code by job type, crew or availability. Move a job to a new slot or reassign it to another team member in a couple of seconds - no clashes, no crossed wires - just a calendar that boosts productivity.

TEAM MANAGEMENT

Schedule crews and subbies in one place

Manage work across teams, crews and subcontractors without the extra admin. Put multiple people on the one job and slot subbies in alongside your employed staff. Everyone sees the same job details and updates in real time, from the office to site.

RECURRING JOBS

Recurring and maintenance scheduling

Set up repeat work for your maintenance customers once and let it run - choose the frequency and Fergus creates the jobs for you. Genuine "set and forget" scheduling for service contracts and regular maintenance rounds.

MOBILE APP

Fergus Go: scheduling in the field

With Fergus Go, your crew manages jobs from anywhere. Techs see the job location, customer details, notes and checklists on their phone, update progress from site, and stay connected to the office - whether they're across town or three hours up the highway.

SCHEDULING

Smart scheduling around who's actually free

Schedule with real-time visibility of who's available, what's booked and where the gaps are. Fergus flags clashes before they happen and factors in travel time between sites, so you assign the right person to the right job without sending someone across the city for no reason.

JOB CARDS

Notes, checklists and site docs on every job

Everything the crew needs sits on the Job Card attached to the scheduled job: notes, requirements, SWMS and safety docs, and checklists for the tricky work. Field staff upload photos, files and timesheets from site, so hours flow through to payroll and you keep clear visibility of job progress.

Why 25,000+ businesses love Fergus scheduling software

Your tools, connected

Accounting and supplier integrations cut out the data entry and make sure every cost gets charged out, so nothing walks out the door un-billed.

No more double-bookings

Colour-coded schedules and live availability mean you never send two crews to the one job or miss a booking.

Less time on the phone, more on the tools

Automatic updates replace the morning ring-around and the constant "where are you?" calls.

See where everyone is

Live job tracking gives dispatchers and office managers a real view of the field, so urgent jobs get handled and workloads stay balanced across the crew.

Handle the curveballs

As we know in tradie-land, things change. When someone calls in sick, or an emergency lands, drag-and-drop rescheduling and instant notifications get the right person redirected fast.

Grow without hiring more admin

One office manager can control 10–15 field staff, so you scale the crew without scaling the paperwork -or losing your weekends to the roster.

Frequently asked questions

Job scheduling software lets trade and field-service businesses assign jobs, book time slots and keep the crew updated in real time, replacing paper diaries and whiteboards. In Fergus, it's part of a wider job management system, so a scheduled job connects directly to its quote, invoice, timesheets and accounting sync.

Fergus starts at $53/month per user in AUD, billed month-to-month with no lock-in, and scheduling is included on every paid plan rather than charged as an add-on. Both Essentials and Pro include scheduling, quoting, invoicing, time tracking, reporting and unlimited support.

Yes. Fergus syncs with Xero, MYOB and QuickBooks, so once a job is scheduled and completed the invoice, contacts and payments flow straight to your accounting software with no double entry.

The return on investment comes from more efficient processes in your trade business - saving hours of admin each week, reducing job mistakes, increasing billable hours, and keeping your team fully utilised. Fergus customers often see:

  • Fewer scheduling errors
  • Faster job turnaround times
  • More accurate invoicing
  • Better visibility across the whole workflow

When you eliminate double-handling and keep your team running efficiently, the software quickly pays for itself.

Small trade businesses often juggle quoting, scheduling, invoicing, and fieldwork all at once - job scheduling software takes a huge load off.

Fergus helps small teams:

  • Schedule jobs faster
  • Track every job’s status
  • Keep communication tight
  • Stay on top of paperwork
  • Reduce admin hours

It’s like having an extra pair of hands keeping everything organised.

Absolutely. For contractors who handle multiple clients and job types, job scheduling software keeps everything organised and prevents work from slipping through the cracks. Fergus lets contractors assign jobs, update progress from site, store photos and notes, and manage invoices - all from one system. It’s ideal for electricians, plumbers, HVAC techs, builders, and any contractor who needs clarity across their workload.

Field service businesses rely on clear communication and tight scheduling to stay profitable. Job scheduling software helps by showing exactly who’s available, what jobs are booked, and where your team needs to be next.
Fergus gives you:

  • A real-time calendar and drag-and-drop scheduler

  • Instant team notifications

  • Live job tracking from the field

  • Automated syncing with your accounting package

It keeps your office and field teams in sync, even on the busiest days.

Most generic scheduling tools aren't built for trades - no job costing, no supplier integrations, no field-ready mobile app. Fergus is the best scheduling software, and connects your schedules directly to quoting, invoicing, timesheets and accounting (Xero, MYOB, QuickBooks) in one system, which is why it's a common pick when tradies compare job management software. The clearest test is running your own jobs through a free trial, so you can see how easy the process is.

Yes. In Fergus, scheduling sits inside the full job management workflow, so a scheduled job links to its quote, purchase orders, timesheets, invoice and job costing without re-entering anything. That connection is the main difference between trade job management software and a standalone scheduling app - you can track jobs end-to-end.
