We’ve answered the ones we hear most from builders and tradies.
Yes — pull up the client's profile and every quote, invoice, photo, note and message sent sits right there. No more scrolling through three years of Gmail looking for the one with the right attachment. The search works across contacts, jobs and quotes too, so if you remember a job name or a street name you can find it in seconds. The mobile app makes that search just as quick when you're on-site.
Fair question. Xero is brilliant at the accounting side, but it isn't built to handle leads that haven't paid you a cent yet. A construction CRM tracks every enquiry, quote and follow-up from the first call through to invoice, then hands the paid customer back to Xero clean. Think of it as the front end of your business — the bit that wins work — while Xero handles the books. They sync both ways through the Xero integration.
Yes. Each client's full job history sits against their profile, so when a regular rings up asking for "another one like that pergola we did in 2024", you can pull the quote, photos and final costs in seconds. It makes pricing the next job faster and a lot more accurate than guessing from memory. The same applies to maintenance clients — every visit gets logged, which makes invoicing the next round quick.
Most builders are up and running inside a week. The onboarding team can import your live jobs, your contact list and your price book from a spreadsheet, Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks, so you're not sitting in front of a screen retyping clients for a weekend. If you've got a current system you're moving off, send a sample export and the team will tell you what's possible. Book a demo to get the ball rolling.
Yes. Everyone on the subscription works off the same live data, so when someone in the office logs a call, the owner sees it the next time they open the job. You can set permissions so the crew on-site only sees what they need — job details, schedule, photos — while the office keeps the full client and financial view. It cuts out the "did anyone ring them back?" conversations. The mobile app gives the team exactly what they need.
NextMinute syncs contacts two-ways with Xero, MYOB and QuickBooks, so adding a new lead in the CRM lands them in your accounting system too — no double data entry. Invoices, payments and contact updates flow both ways, which keeps the office and the books in step. Change a phone number in either place and the other catches up automatically. See the integrations overview for the full picture, or jump straight to Xero or MYOB.
Excel works fine until you're juggling 50 quotes and a couple of people in the office trying to update the same file at once. A construction CRM ties every contact to their quotes, jobs, photos and conversation history, so anyone on the team can pick up a call without asking "what's the story with this one?". Spreadsheets also can't show you at a glance which quotes are sitting open — NextMinute keeps live work and follow-ups front and centre on the dashboard. Have a look at the free trial and bring your contact list across.
Yes — you can set up custom contact types and tags so your list isn't one big jumble of names. Want to see every new enquiry from last month? Pull a filter. Need to grab every commercial client for an end-of-year email? Same drill. It beats scrolling through Xero looking for anyone who hasn't been invoiced yet, and saves the office a heap of admin time. Book a demo to see how other builders structure their lists.
Set a follow-up against every quote and it'll surface on your dashboard instead of getting buried in your inbox. NextMinute keeps the quote, the client details and the conversation history together, so you can see at a glance which jobs are sitting unanswered. A two-minute call back to a quote that's gone quiet often turns into a signed job. The quoting tools and mobile app make those follow-ups quick from anywhere.
Yes — a good CRM usually pays for itself the first time it stops a quote falling through the cracks. Most owners get the monthly subscription back in one or two extra jobs they would've otherwise let drift. NextMinute keeps every lead, quote and follow-up sitting in one spot, so you can see at a glance which enquiries are live and which need a nudge. Have a look at the pricing breakdown and start a free trial when you're ready.
