Contractors & trades

The whole trade business, not just the jobs

Quotes that know their cost, purchase orders by supplier, deliveries reconciled against the supplier's invoice, and a margin on every job that you can trust.

Included

Everything in the Trade plan

One plan per business, with seats for the team. The money chain is the reason trades stay: quote, order, receive, reconcile, bill, and know what you made.

Job requests from owners

Owners send work to your trade, with the boat, the problem and the photos attached. Accept, quote or decline.

Trade plan

Quotes that know their cost

Parts come from the catalogue at cost with your markup, labour at your staff rates, and subcontractor estimates are added at quote time so you see the margin before you send it.

Trade plan

Deposits and progress claims

Bill an accepted quote in stages: deposit, progress, final. Every stage shows what has been billed and what is left, and the last invoice totals the price you quoted.

Trade plan

Purchase orders by supplier

A quote becomes purchase orders grouped by supplier, priced at cost, with duplicate lines merged. Orders go straight to the supplier's portal.

Trade plan

Deliveries and reconciliation

Record each delivery against its own supplier invoice. Part shipments, freight and a price that moved since the order all show as variance instead of being absorbed.

Trade plan

Payables

What you owe each supplier, with their terms, due dates, ageing and part payments. A reversal needs a reason and the row stays.

Trade plan

Receivables

Money in against each invoice, ageing from the due date, a printed statement, and drafts held out of the debtors list until they are issued.

Trade plan

Job margins, quoted against actual

Quoted margin and actual margin side by side. Committed cost is flagged while a purchase order is still open, so a job cannot look healthy because the invoice has not arrived.

Trade plan

Subcontractors

A register with rates, insurance and licence badges, certificate expiry watch, and a subcontractor invoice booked straight onto the job.

Trade plan

ABN withholding, handled

A subcontractor with no valid ABN has 47% withheld and recorded as a debt to the ATO. The job still carries the full cost, so your margin stays honest.

Trade plan

Credit notes and refunds

Credit notes capped at money you actually received, and a refund only moves when an admin approves it, by card or by bank.

Trade plan

GST, BAS and cash

GST collected and paid, BAS figures, an accounting export, and a one-page view of cash this week.

Trade plan

Staff, rates and time

Seats for your team, pay rates on the staff record, and time logs approved before they reach a job's margin.

Trade plan

Parts at wholesale price

The supplier catalogue at trade price. Add a part to a quote or order it directly, with the margin shown as you build.

Trade plan

Supplier network

Marketplace suppliers linked to your own address book. Send the order, see it accepted, dispatched and invoiced without a phone call.

Trade plan

Get paid online

Owners pay your invoice through BoatMe by card or bank debit. The money settles into your own Stripe account, and BoatMe's charge is 2.5% capped at $50.

Trade plan

Verified service history

Completed jobs and club verification build the record owners see when they choose a trade.

Trade plan

Business profile

ABN, insurance, licence, trades and service area, and the compliance fields clubs and stations check.

Trade plan

Skippering

If you skipper as well, your skipper profile, availability and day rate sit alongside the trade side.

Optional

Directory listing

Found by trade and by area when an owner needs someone who does exactly what you do.

Trade plan

Quote to cash, on one screen

A job does not stop at the invoice. Someone has to order the parts, chase the delivery, reconcile what the supplier billed against what was ordered, and work out whether the job actually made money.

Everything on this page is included in the Trade plan at $99 a month, or $990 a year. There are no per-invoice charges. BoatMe's only other charge is 2.5% capped at $50 when an owner pays you online, and that comes out of the payment, not out of your pocket separately.
