"The timesheet is really user friendly and simplified. The boys do the timesheets and the girls do the pay runs and even just monitoring costs and profits from each job as they’re developing, is great. It’s really helped with how we operate our business"

Common Questions

Why is NextMinute the ideal job management software for carpentry businesses?

NextMinute is built for busy carpentry teams managing multiple jobs. It brings together quoting, scheduling, timesheets, and job costing — so you can keep projects on track, stay on budget, and get paid faster. It’s easy to use, works on any device, and syncs two-ways with Xero, MYOB, or QuickBooks.

Can I schedule multiple carpenters across different jobs and stages?

Absolutely. With NextMinute, you can schedule your team across multiple jobs, stages, and locations — all from one place. Use the drag-and-drop calendar or Gantt view to assign tasks, shift timelines, and keep your crew where they need to be. Everyone gets real-time updates on their phone, so nothing gets missed.

Job Scheduling
Can I use my supplier price lists in NextMinute for quoting?

Yes — you can easily upload your supplier price books into NextMinute and use them to build fast, accurate quotes with real costs. No double-handling, no guesswork. If you need a hand getting set up, our team’s here to help.

Does NextMinute help keep clients in the loop?

Yep — with in-app SMS and email, you can keep your clients updated on job progress without the back-and-forth. Your crew can log notes and photos on-site, so sending a quick update only takes a few clicks. And with all your timesheets, costs, files, and variations in one place, you’ve always got a clear record if any questions or disputes come up.

I’m comparing a few options for my carpentry business — why choose NextMinute?
