Start with how your jobs actually run
The best job management app is the one your team will use every day. Before comparing features, map how a job moves from enquiry to quote, to scheduled work, to invoice and payment.
Where each one fits
ServiceM8 suits fast-moving service work with lots of small jobs. Tradify is simple and quick to learn for small teams. Fergus is built for larger project-style jobs with stages and detailed costing.
Connecting to Xero
All three connect to Xero. The value comes from setting it up properly: matching items, tax codes and payment accounts so your bookkeeper isn't fixing things every month.
Frequently asked questions
Can I switch job management software later?
Yes. Most of your customer and job history can be exported, and we help plan the move so work doesn't stop.
Do all three work with Xero?
Yes. ServiceM8, Tradify and Fergus all have Xero integrations for invoices and payments.
