What NexHub does that the others don't.
Not marketing fluff — concrete product decisions we made because you asked for them.
Built for recurring rounds, not reactive tickets
ServiceM8 and Fergus are optimised for one-off jobs. NexHub's scheduling engine is designed around weekly, fortnightly and monthly rounds — move one job and the series stays intact.
Flat pricing that doesn't punish growth
Per-user tools charge you every time you hire. NexHub Pro is AU$79/mo total — for 1 user or 5. Business is AU$199/mo for unlimited users.
Chemical compliance the overseas tools don't cover
Product, rate, equipment, applicator and signature per application, with site weather and location captured at spray time and a PDF audit export. Credentials and SWMS sign-on live in the same register.
One customer thread — SMS, email, notes
Stop copy-pasting between your inbox, phone and job sheet. Every message about a customer lives in one thread every staff member can see.
One-tap On-My-Way that actually does it all
One button in the ute sends the customer an on-my-way message, opens navigation and logs the trip. ETA messaging stays an office-controlled option.
Measured quoting from a satellite map
Draw the lawn or surface once. Area and perimeter drive the price from your own editable rate card, so every crew quotes the same job the same way.
Branded client portal (your logo, not ours)
Your customers get quotes, invoices, visit history, photos and messages under your logo and a client-facing palette you set separately from your team's app.
Get paid before you leave the driveway
Raise the AU tax invoice on the job and take payment on the spot with a card link or QR, or record cash. Invoices and payments sync to Xero or QuickBooks, with CSV export for MYOB.
When NexHub is NOT the right pick.
We'd rather tell you upfront than sell you a plan you'll cancel.
You're an iOS-only trades business (plumbing, electrical) doing pure reactive work under 50 jobs/mo — their free tier and iPad app are hard to beat.
You need automatic supplier-invoice sync from Reece or Tradelink and deep GP-per-job accounting reporting.
You want a per-user tool with an instant-website add-on, and you're a solo or two-person team.
You've got fewer than 5 recurring customers and no crew. Honestly, you're fine on a spreadsheet for now.
