Every job is on track, and the moment one starts slipping you see the red flag in WorkGuru. So you protect your margin when times are unpredictable, and accelerate your growth when the work is booming.

The WorkGuru interface was user-friendly and easy to navigate. Even my less tech-savvy operators found it easy to use. They knew from day one how to create a purchase order and use the purchase order templates, which helped streamline their work and allowed them to focus on other aspects of the business.

01

You profit more on every single job.

You see real margin while the work is still open, not weeks later once invoicing is done. So you catch a job going backwards on the floor and fix it while you still can.

The extra steel, the rework, the hours nobody logged. WorkGuru tracks it all against your quote as the job runs, so you keep the profit instead of quietly losing it.

02

You keep the whole job in one place, not five different tools.

Quoting, stock, purchasing, labour and job costs all live in the one system, working the way your workshop actually does.

Nothing slips through the cracks between spreadsheets, MYOB and three other apps, because it is all connected. One job, one place, one set of numbers you can trust.

03

You know where every weld hour went, job by job.

Log floor hours against the right task. Name, PIN, job, task on an iPad, so hours land where they belong instead of a pile of paper dockets.

And when someone clocks the wrong job, you just move the timesheet. Labour is your biggest variable, and now it is costed accurately, so your job numbers finally tell the truth.

04

You run software built for fabricators, not plumbers and sparkies.

WorkGuru is set up for how fab shops actually run: quoting off real steel and labour, pushing consumables onto the job, tracking a build with 40 purchase orders on it.

It fits the way you quote, buy and build. You are not bending a generic tradie tool to make it work, because it already works the way you do.

You run on software fabricators have grown with for 7 years.

Fabricators around the world have been building their businesses on WorkGuru for seven years. The core is rock solid and proven on real shop floors, not half-built and full of bugs.

You are not betting your business on someone's first version. We are busy adding new capability, not scrambling to fix the basics, so it just works while you get on with the job.
