Quote it.
Do it.
Get paid.

The problem

Stop running your business across five apps that don't talk.

A quoting tool, a scheduling tool, a job-costing spreadsheet, and Xero, none of them talking to each other, everything typed in twice. BM Quotes is the whole chain in one place.

The usual setup
  • Quote in one app, invoice in another
  • Job costs guessed from a shoebox of dockets
  • Crew's hours chased up on Monday
  • Every figure re-typed into Xero
  • Profit worked out months too late
With BM Quotes
  • Quote → accepted → invoiced → paid, one thread
  • Wholesaler invoices file themselves against the job
  • Crew log hours & materials on their phone
  • Quotes, bills & invoices flow straight to Xero
  • Live profit while you can still do something about it
How it works

It follows the job the way you actually work it.

Six stages, one app, each step feeds the next, so nothing gets typed twice and nothing falls through.

STAGE 01

Quote & estimate

Price by trade and category on your own material and labour rates, with markup, discounts and a branded PDF.

STAGE 02

Win the job

The client accepts online with one tap; it auto-awards the job and pushes the quote into Xero.

STAGE 03

Schedule & dispatch

Put the crew on jobs and days; changes push straight to their phones, every job with its own BM number.

STAGE 04

On the tools

The crew log hours, materials, photos and variations from site, the day captured as it happens.

STAGE 05

Track the job

Live actual-vs-quoted profit as hours and real wholesaler invoices land against the job.

STAGE 06

Invoice & get paid

Turn the logged work into an invoice, issue it in Xero, and give the client one tap to pay.

Any trade, day one

It's built for your trade, you bring the numbers.

No trade is baked into BM Quotes. Your categories, your material prices, your labour rates, set them once and every quote comes out in the language you use on site. A ready-made template is a head start, not a gate.

What's inside

Everything a trade business runs on, in one login.

Not a quoting app with bits bolted on. All of this is on every account, at one price.

◆

Quote by category

Price by trade the way you think about it, on your own rates, with markup applied per category. Three formats, revisions, and your logo on a clean PDF.

▣

The crew's phone app

Hours, materials, van stock, site diary, photos and variations, captured on site and filed to the right job. Timesheets go to payroll weekly. Price-blind, so anyone can use it safely.

◈

Live job costing

Real labour and material cost against the quote as it happens. See the margin while the job is still open, not a fortnight after.

✎

The invoice writes itself

The crew marks the job done and a priced Xero draft is waiting for your approval. Once it is sent, you can see whether the client has opened it.

▤

Contracts, claims & retention

Upload the subcontract and see the terms that decide when you get paid. Progress claims invoiced net of retention, and every dollar held back tracked in Xero until it is released.

✉

Wholesaler invoices auto-file

Give suppliers one address. Their invoices arrive, read themselves and file against the job, so your costs are live to the day.

◐

The money going out

Bills inbox, supplier statements reconciled into one Xero bill, bank-feed debits, and a running figure for the GST you should be setting aside.

◇

Compliance & handover

The right state certificate, SWMS your subbies sign from a link, and a handover pack of certs, photos and warranties in one tap.

◎

On my way

One tap from the worker emails the client an arrival window based on the real drive time. The schedule map shows every job and who is on site right now.

◉

Projects & questions

My Jobs, a two-week look-ahead, punch lists, and questions that go both ways between the office and site, on the record.

☰

Talk to it

Dictate a whole quote from the ute against your real template. Move the crew by voice. Ask what the profit is on a job and get the real number.

⟳

Two-way Xero

Quotes, invoices, bills and paid-status both ways. Xero stays the books, with no double entry and nothing to export.

Pricing

One price for the whole toolkit. You pay for people, not features.

No tiers, no locked features, no add-on modules. The only thing that moves the price is how many people are on the tools.

Ten spots
Founding crew
The first ten businesses in
$450 /mo + GST
Up to 10 workers · then +$50 each
  • Every feature, same as everyone
  • That rate held for life
  • A say in what gets built next
Standard
Once the ten are gone
$550 /mo + GST
Up to 6 workers · then +$50 each
  • Every feature, nothing held back
  • No setup fee, no lock-in
  • Managed AI included

The bigger your crew, the less it costs per head. Six people is $92 each; twenty is $63. Most job software charges per user from the first person, so their cost per head never moves.

BM Quotes didn't come out of a software company. It came out of running jobs, quoting them, chasing the crew's hours, matching wholesaler dockets, and working out months later whether a job actually made money.

Every feature earns its place because it solves a problem a working contractor actually has. No bloat, no jargon, just the whole job, handled, in the language you already use on site. Read the story →
