Is ServiceM8 Right for You?
ServiceM8 for Trades
If you run one location and need job scheduling, quoting, and invoicing to work properly, ServiceM8 is usually enough.
If you’re juggling multiple locations, tracking stock across warehouses, or need tighter financial control, you’ll outgrow it fast — Odoo is the better call, and we do that too.

What’s Included
• ServiceM8 account setup and configuration
• Job scheduling and dispatch workflow
• Quoting and invoicing templates
• Staff accounts and permissions
• Mobile app setup for field teams
• Training so your team can run it without you
Not included: Xero integration is scoped and priced separately — most trades businesses need it, so ask us about it at the same time.
Price and Timeline
Setup starts at $2,500, standard terms 50% upfront and 50% before go-live.
Most implementations take around 4 weeks, depending on how many staff need training and how much historical job data you’re bringing across.
How It Works
1. Scope call — we confirm your workflow, job types, and what “done” looks like
2. Configuration — we build the system around your business, not a generic template
3. Training and go-live — we walk your team through it before you switch over, so nobody’s guessing on day one
FAQ
Can I add Xero later if I don’t need it now?
Yes. It’s a separate scope item so you’re not paying for integration work you’re not ready to use.
What if I outgrow ServiceM8?
Some businesses do. If that happens, we already know your operation and can scope the move to Odoo without starting from zero.
Do you work outside Queensland?
Yes, remotely across Australia, with hands-on support available in Queensland.
