For plumbers

Plumbers run on call-outs, emergencies and repeat maintenance. You need to dispatch fast, know where your crew is, and turn a finished job into an invoice on the spot.

What to look for

  • ✓Fast dispatch for urgent call-outs
  • ✓Recurring maintenance and service reminders
  • ✓On-site invoicing and card payments
  • ✓Compliance and sign-off forms

In Australia

In Australia MYOB is still widely used alongside Xero. GST is 10%, and payroll needs Single Touch Payroll (STP) reporting to the ATO.

  • ✓Confirm MYOB support if your books are in MYOB
  • ✓If you pay staff, check payroll is STP-compliant
  • ✓Check supplier integrations with the wholesalers you buy from
