Fergus: The platform that Tradies actually stick with

We are launching a new and improved mobile and web calendar and scheduling tool at Fergus. But this isn’t just a product update—it’s a moment to reflect on something bigger: the way Fergus grows with you, unlocking features just when you need them. 

Running a trades business isn’t easy. It’s a daily juggling act: scheduling jobs, managing quotes, keeping track of hours, dealing with suppliers, chasing invoices, and making sure nothing slips through the cracks. Sound familiar? 

For too long, these tasks have been split between a hodgepodge of tools. Apps that promise the world but leave you with more headaches, more costs, and more wasted time. 

That’s where Fergus comes in. 

At Fergus, we’re driven by one simple belief: the people who keep homes, businesses, and communities running deserve better. You don’t need another app to wrestle with or another tool that demands more from you than it gives back. 

You need simplicity. 

Fergus is an all-in-one platform designed to grow with your business. It’s not just another piece of software—it’s your business partner, bringing all the moving parts of your business into one seamless experience. No more switching between apps. No more lost data. No more hidden fees. 

Here’s the thing: tradies usually come to Fergus to solve one problem—scheduling, invoicing, job tracking. But once they start using it, they realize Fergus is so much more. It’s the system that keeps everything running smoothly, allowing you to work smarter, save time, and earn more. 

 Imagine this: 

  • A tool that pulls in supplier price books automatically, so your quotes are always accurate and up-to-date. 
  • A system that tracks every job, every hour, every cost—so nothing gets missed. 
  • Messaging, payments, reporting, and margin analysis, all connected and working together to keep your business on track. 

That’s Fergus. 

Fergus was built for tradies by people who understand the field. We know your work is messy, complex, and urgent. AI tools might draft an email, but they won’t help you rewire a house or fix a burst pipe at 10 p.m. That’s why Fergus is more than software—it’s your partner, delivering solutions when you need them most. 

We’re not about making flashy promises that lead to frustration later. At Fergus, we make the tough choices upfront—building an integrated platform that grows with your business. Because the hard work of making your life easier is worth it. 

The result? 

  • More time. For your family, your team, and your customers. 
  • More profit. For the effort you put in. 
  • Less stress. So you can focus on what matters most. 

Whether you’re a plumber, electrician, or builder, Fergus is here to make running your business simple and profitable. It’s not just software—it’s the system that empowers your work, growth, and success. 

With Fergus, you can simplify the complex, take control of your business, and focus on the things that truly matter. That’s why tradies stick with Fergus—because it works.
