Fergus cloud-based platform for business operations

Fergus is a cloud-based platform enabling end-to-end operations management for small to mid-sized trades and service businesses. It enables users to see at a glance where all the revenue in their business is, reduces double handling and keeps everything related to a job in one place while automating admin.

Its core features include a real-time visual dashboard with tools for costing, invoicing, scheduling, resource planning, timesheets, GPS, workforce tracking and H&S compliance. The user-friendly interface enables businesses to manage hundreds of jobs at a time, helping to streamline the business and improve profitability.

The platform makes team management more efficient with field service tools in the mobile app to keep teams organised. These include job cards, drag-and-drop scheduling, group scheduling and instant job notifications to keep teams updated on changes to job scope, location and more with push notifications. It also has convenient next-day scheduling to give teams visibility into job times with a calendar. Users can turn quotes into POs to order items from materials suppliers.

The platform’s features create an effective business management approach, allowing users to utilise insights about their business to help pick profitable jobs and grow margins. Tools enabling this include a dashboard to view the status of revenue, job financial summaries, a WIP report to organise jobs by invoice progress and automatic invoice reminders that send text messages to customers when invoices are overdue. It has integrations with Xero and MYOB accounting software, as well as a number of trade suppliers including Middy’s and Reece.
