One platform. Eleven trades.

Every trade runs differently. Progress adapts to the workflows your crews already use — from emergency HVAC calls to staged commercial payment applications.

HVAC contractors

Service calls, installs and maintenance contracts in one system

Keep dispatch moving, equipment histories intact and every maintenance agreement profitable — from the first call to the final invoice.

3x

Faster dispatch turnaround

100%

Job-linked labour hours

1

Record per unit, site and customer

What gets in the way

  • Emergency calls break the schedule

    Same-day breakdowns force dispatch to rebuild the board by phone and text.

  • Equipment history lives in someone's head

    Techs arrive without model numbers, warranty status or the last service note.

  • Maintenance agreements leak margin

    Recurring visits get missed or logged against the wrong job.

How Progress solves it

  • Dispatch board that reflows in seconds

    Drag an emergency call into the day and every affected tech is notified instantly on mobile.

  • Full site and asset history

    Every unit, address, contact, plan and photo stays attached to the customer record.

  • Costed maintenance work

    Techs clock into the specific job or bid job, so contract profitability is visible in real time.

We'll load a live demo with your service mix — emergency calls, installs and maintenance contracts side by side.

Electrical contractors

From service calls to full commercial fit-outs

Run day-rate service work and multi-phase electrical projects on the same platform, with bid workflows and progress billing built in.

Live

Labour vs estimate visibility

0

Paper work orders required

What gets in the way

  • Service and project work don't mix

    Most tools handle one or the other, forcing two systems and double entry.

  • Bid work is managed in spreadsheets

    Tender values, change orders and progress claims sit outside the job record.

  • Labour costs surface too late

    By the time payroll reconciles, the job is already over budget.

How Progress solves it

  • One platform, both work types

    Service jobs and bid jobs live side by side with shared customers, crews and reporting.

  • Bid jobs with progress billing

    Track tasks, percentage complete and AIA-style G702/G703 payment applications.

  • Live job costing

    Every clock-in, PO and material charge lands against the job the moment it happens.

Mechanical contractors

Complex mechanical scopes, tracked stage by stage

Ground rough, top rough, med gas — track every task, its estimated hours and its completed value in one commercial billing view.

Support from real people

What gets in the way

  • Progress claims take days to assemble

    Percentage complete is pieced together from foremen, spreadsheets and memory.

  • Scope creep goes unbilled

    Change orders happen on site and never make it back to accounts.

  • Crews and equipment are hard to see

    No single view of who is on which site with what gear.

How Progress solves it

  • Live percentage complete

    Each task carries estimated hours, estimated cost and completed value as crews log work.

  • Change orders captured on site

    Raise change order estimates from the field before the work starts.

  • Resource planning built in

    See manpower, equipment and material needs through daily and weekly field reports.

Cut your progress claim from days to minutes

Plumbing contractors

Fast dispatch for service, full control on projects

Get plumbers to site quicker, capture what happened while they're there, and invoice the same day.

Same-day

Invoicing from the field

Tap

To clock into a job

Auto

Customer status emails

What gets in the way

  • Techs chase paperwork instead of jobs

    Signed dockets and material lists come back on paper, days later.

  • Customers call for updates

    The office fields status calls that could be answered automatically.

  • Materials go unrecovered

    Parts bought on the run never make it onto the invoice.

How Progress solves it

  • Signed work orders in the app

    Complete and sign the work order on site — it lands in the job record instantly.

  • Automatic customer notifications

    Customers are emailed when a job is created, assigned and completed.

  • POs raised at the counter

    Generate a PO tied to the job before the parts leave the supplier.

Civil contractors

Site-based work with the paperwork under control

Track crews, plant and daily site conditions across long-running civil projects — with the documentation your client contracts demand.

Daily

Site reports with photos

Geo

Fenced site attendance

Full

Document trail per project

What gets in the way

  • Daily records are inconsistent

    Site diaries depend on whoever remembered to fill one in.

  • Delay claims are hard to evidence

    Weather, access and standing time aren't captured in a usable form.

  • Attendance is unverifiable

    No reliable record of who was on which site and when.

How Progress solves it

  • Structured field reports

    Custom date ranges covering conditions, manpower, equipment and material needs — with photos.

  • Evidence attached to the job

    Every document, drawing and image lives on the project record permanently.

  • Geo-fenced clock in and out

    Confirm crews were on site without constant location tracking.

Roofing contractors

Quote quicker, schedule around weather, bill on completion

From first inspection to final invoice, keep every roof job photographed, costed and moving.

Evidence on every job

Fast

Estimate to job conversion

Live

Crew scheduling

What gets in the way

  • Weather wrecks the schedule

    One wet week and the entire board needs rebuilding.

  • Before-and-after evidence is scattered

    Photos live on phones instead of the job record.

  • Estimates take too long to turn around

    Slow quotes lose jobs to whoever replied first.

How Progress solves it

  • Reschedule in a drag

    Move crews and jobs on the board and everyone's mobile updates instantly.

  • Photos attached at source

    Techs upload site images directly to the job from the app.

  • Estimates out the same day

    Build and send estimates fast, then convert straight to a scheduled job.

Fire protection contractors

Compliance work with a complete audit trail

Inspections, remedial works and installations — all recorded, all traceable, all tied to the site and the asset.

Every

Inspection recorded

Role

Based access controls

Instant

Report retrieval

What gets in the way

  • Compliance records are hard to retrieve

    Certificates and reports sit in email threads and filing cabinets.

  • Recurring inspections slip

    Scheduled service visits get missed when the calendar is manual.

  • Remedial works lose their link

    Defects found on inspection become new jobs with no history attached.

How Progress solves it

  • Everything on the site record

    Inspections, documents, photos and signed work orders stay attached to the address.

  • Scheduled recurring work

    Plan inspection cycles on the dispatch board and assign automatically.

  • Defect to job in one step

    Raise remedial work from the inspection with all the context carried across.

Retrieve any compliance record in seconds

Facilities & maintenance teams

High job volume, low admin overhead

Hundreds of small jobs a month shouldn't mean hundreds of admin hours. Progress keeps reactive and planned maintenance organised.

High

Job throughput per admin

Live

Status per work order

One

View across all sites

What gets in the way

  • Volume buries the office

    Small jobs generate the same paperwork as big ones.

  • Clients want reporting you can't produce

    Monthly summaries take days to compile per contract.

  • Reactive work derails planned work

    Urgent callouts push scheduled maintenance out indefinitely.

How Progress solves it

  • Fast repeatable job creation

    Templates, saved sites and quick dispatch cut the admin per job.

  • Reporting on demand

    Pull job and field reports by date range, site or contract whenever the client asks.

  • Planned and reactive on one board

    See both work types together so planned jobs don't disappear.

Landscaping & grounds

Recurring rounds, seasonal crews, clean job costing

Run recurring maintenance rounds and one-off installations with crews that change week to week — and still know what each job earned.

Level time capture

Clear

Per-job profitability

What gets in the way

  • Recurring rounds are managed by memory

    Weekly and fortnightly visits rely on a whiteboard or a spreadsheet.

  • Seasonal crews make timesheets messy

    New starters and casuals blur who worked which site.

  • Small jobs hide their real cost

    Travel, materials and clean-up rarely make it into the numbers.

How Progress solves it

  • Scheduled rounds on the board

    Set up recurring visits and assign crews without rebuilding the week.

  • Simple mobile clock in

    Any crew member clocks into the right job in a few taps, even on their first day.

  • True cost per site

    Labour, materials and POs all roll up to the job automatically.

Commercial contractors

Multi-stage projects, progress billing and full accountability

Built for the commercial side of the business most field service tools never reach — bids, retention, lien waivers and staged payment applications.

G702

/ G703 payment applications

4

Lien waiver templates

Multi

Site and multi-entity ready

What gets in the way

  • Field service tools stop at the invoice

    Bid management, retention and progress claims sit outside the platform.

  • Documentation demands are heavy

    Main contractors expect a paper trail most systems can't produce.

  • Approvals get stuck

    POs and change orders wait on someone's inbox.

How Progress solves it

  • Complete bid workflow

    Bid jobs, bid reviews, bid invoices and change order estimates in one place.

  • Contract-grade paperwork

    AIA-style payment applications and conditional, unconditional, partial and final lien waivers.

  • Structured approval chains

    Route POs and change orders through the right roles with SMS and app alerts.

Run commercial work in the same system as service

Book a demo and we'll walk one of your commercial projects through the full bid workflow.

Residential contractors

A professional experience for every homeowner

Fast quotes, clear communication and tidy paperwork — the things that turn one job into a lifetime customer and a stream of referrals.

Auto

Homeowner notifications

Minutes

From site to invoice

Full

History per address

What gets in the way

  • Homeowners chase for updates

    Every 'is he still coming?' call costs the office time.

  • Quotes go out late

    The fastest professional quote usually wins the job.

  • Repeat customers start from scratch

    Previous work at the address isn't easy to find.

How Progress solves it

  • Keep customers informed automatically

    Emails when a job is created, assigned to a tech and completed.

  • Quote from the driveway

    Build and send an estimate before you leave the property.

  • Complete address history

    Every past job, photo, invoice and note at that address, instantly.
