Quoting, scheduling, variations and payments: Kelpie runs your whole carpentry business. Quote the deck off the plans, capture every variation before you cut, and it all syncs to Xero.
“Kelpie put my whole business on my phone. I quote on site, the invoice goes out the second the job's done, and the money lands without me chasing it. Game changer for a small team.”
A deck, a reno or a fit-out runs over days and weeks, with variations along the way. It all runs from the one app.
Do the take-off, pull your timber and labour straight from a saved template, and send a professional quote from the ute, one the customer can accept from their phone, with the scope agreed in writing.
When the client changes their mind mid-job, raise the variation and price it before you touch it, captured in writing, not on a handshake. Photos and notes save to the job, timesheets tick against it, and the whole crew sees what's next.
Mark the job done and the final invoice is the quote plus every agreed variation, no extras forgotten, nothing argued over at the kitchen table. Email a payment link or take tap-to-pay, and it syncs straight to Xero.
“I used to do quotes and invoices at the kitchen table well after I clocked off. Now it's knocked out from the ute before I've pulled out of the driveway, I've got my evenings back.”
Kelpie is the all-in-one job management software for trade businesses: from capturing enquiries to quoting with kits, scheduling your crew and tracking timesheets. You focus on the tools, we'll sort the admin.
A form on your website or a link you share captures leads 24/7 and pings your phone the second one lands, reply first and book the work.
Put a Pay Now button on every invoice so clients pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, and the money lands in your bank automatically. Powered by Stripe.
Drag jobs onto the calendar, assign the right crew, and see the whole week at a glance, with no double-bookings.
Add your crew in minutes and put the right people on the right jobs. Every seat gets every feature.
Bundle materials and labour into reusable kits, save whole jobs as templates, and price repeat work in a few taps.
Record a client meeting with their consent, and Kelpie writes a summary you review and send: scope, prices and next steps, all captured.
Snap a supplier invoice or shop receipt and Kelpie reads the details into a draft bill or expense. You review it before anything is saved.
Live dashboard and 16 built-in reports across Financial, Jobs, Sales and Team: export to PDF, Excel or CSV.
