Custom software development for plumbers.
Plumbing businesses-grade custom software development, shipped by people who've done it before.
Made for New Zealand paperwork.
Business systems wired into the tools New Zealand organisations already run, like Xero, so data is entered once and stays consistent.
- Xero, founded in New Zealand
- GST at 15 per cent
- Job management built in New Zealand
Quotes with GST shown correctly, job sheets and invoices done from the van, so evenings are not spent on paperwork.
Where plumbing businesses actually lose hours and dollars.
Plumbers lose jobs to whoever answers the phone first, and most calls come in while they're already under a sink.
Missed calls, slow quotes, and unchased invoices are the three leaks that cost plumbing businesses the most money.
Less admin.
More weekend.
No theatre.
What you get
We'd call the engagement a success when plumbing businesses are using the system without thinking about us.
- Internal systems for jobs, quotes, stock, rosters and reporting
- Client and supplier portals with proper logins and permissions
- Integrations with Xero, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace and the tools you already run
- Code, data and hosting accounts owned by you from day one
- No AI theatre
- No annual contracts
How it works in New Zealand
We find the one workflow costing plumbing businesses the most hours, ship a working slice into production in weeks, prove it pays for itself, then harden it and hand it over.
Small crew or big organisation, the busywork is the same :)
Quotes with GST, consent paperwork, LBP records and health and safety logs: the admin every New Zealand trade business carries.
*Illustrative example based on nine hours a week of admin. Actual results vary by workflow and business.
Questions plumbing businesses ask
Anyone else in this space using custom software development?
Plenty. We map the process with the people who do the work first, then build the smallest system that replaces the spreadsheet. The interesting question is rarely "does it work" - it's "is your team ready to use the output." That's what we'd scope on the call.
What happens if we want to swap a vendor out later?
Custom software development is built behind a small adapter layer specifically so swapping a model provider or a data source is a one-day job, not a re-architecture. TypeScript, Postgres, Next.js, Cloudflare, Xero API are our defaults, but the build is intentionally portable.
Is custom software development worth it for a smaller plumbing business?
Often, yes - and counterintuitively the ROI is sometimes faster than for the big end of town because there's less integration overhead. We'll tell you honestly on the scoping call if it isn't.
Will quotes and invoices show GST properly?
Yes. GST is 15 per cent on most goods and services in New Zealand, and anything we build that prices work shows it the way your accounts need.
Can it keep track of ACC levies?
Yes. ACC work levies are set by the classification unit your work falls under, and self-employed people are invoiced after filing their tax return.
