NextMinute

What NextMinute does

NextMinute is a cloud-based job and project management SaaS platform purpose-built for residential trade businesses across Australia and New Zealand. The platform unifies quoting, Gantt-based scheduling with dependency logic, mobile timesheets, progress and final invoicing, real-time back-costing by job and stage, construction CRM, takeoff imports, purchase orders, variations tracking, and equipment-hour logging into a single workflow from quote through to final invoice. The product is delivered via web and native iOS/Android apps, with deep two-way integrations to Xero, MYOB, and QuickBooks Online accounting systems plus a PlaceMakers supplier integration in New Zealand.

The company sells tiered monthly subscriptions priced by team size — AU$199/month for 3-9 users (Tradie Growth), AU$349/month for 10-14 users (Tradie Pro), and custom pricing for 15+ users (Tradie Max) — with all features included on every plan and no contractual lock-in. Distribution combines a product-led growth motion (10-day free trial, no credit card required, self-serve onboarding) with an inside-sales motion (15-minute intro calls led by trade-experienced staff) and industry association partnerships (Carpentry Australia, The Landscape Association, Master Landscapers of South Australia). The company serves a stated base of 5,000+ tradies and partners across AU/NZ, with operating entities in New Zealand (NextMinute Limited), Australia (NextMinute Australia Pty Ltd, ABN 71 647 434 348), and a UK data-controller presence (NextMinute Europe Limited, London).
