Why WorkGuru

Why trailer manufacturers use WorkGuru

Quote any trailer build with confidence

Stop pricing builds off a notepad and a gut feel.

Quote from templates for your standard models, with live pricing on steel, axles, couplings and components. Handle custom customer changes as variations, then turn the won quote straight into a job, no double entry.

Track every build, phase by phase

Stop guessing how far along a build really is, or what it is costing.

Break each trailer into phases and track labour, materials and cost against every stage. See exactly where each build is up to and what is next, while forecast vs actual updates in real time so a blowout on the chassis never eats the whole margin.

Keep every build moving across the floor

Scheduling and Ops Hub screenshot

Stop running the workshop off a whiteboard and group texts.

Schedule builds, assign crews and work areas, and keep every job's files and conversations in one thread. The Ops Hub flags any build or PO at risk, so nothing stalls before it ships.

Why WorkGuru

25+ years of knowledge and experience, built into one platform.

Tony left, Michael right. 25 years+ combined software implementation experience

For a decade, our founders were right in the thick of it, helping everyone from billion-dollar mining companies to smaller fabrication workshops get their software sorted. But they kept hitting the exact same wall: the software out there just wasn’t up to scratch.

Businesses were basically stuck choosing between two terrible options. Either fork out a fortune for clunky, overly complicated ERPs, or try to duct-tape a bunch of random apps together just to keep things running.

After ten years of watching these expensive headaches and messy workarounds, they finally decided to just build the solution themselves. They took everything they’d learned about what these businesses actually need and baked all that real-world experience into WorkGuru.

Seven years down the track, the platform just keeps getting better. It’s exactly why so many folks choose WorkGuru as the no-nonsense alternative to massive, overpriced systems.

FAQ

Common questions from trailer manufacturers

Can WorkGuru handle custom one-off builds and production runs?
Yes. Whether you build bespoke trailers to order or run repeatable models, you can quote, cost and track both the same way, and reuse templates for the builds you make often.
Does it track materials and parts against each build?
It does. Steel, axles, couplings, electrical and any other parts are tracked against the job, with purchase orders tied back to the build so nothing slips through.
Will it work with our accounting software?
WorkGuru syncs with Xero, MYOB and QuickBooks Online, so quotes, invoices and bills flow through without double entry.
Can the team log hours from the workshop floor?
Yes. Staff can clock time against jobs from a phone or tablet on the floor, so labour cost lands on the right build automatically.
How long does it take to get set up?
Most trailer manufacturers are up and running quickly. Our Brisbane based team helps you load your materials, rates and templates so you can quote your first build straight away.

"We've had a couple of contract jobs where, once we've put everything into WorkGuru, we've gone, 'okay, this is how much we're actually spending on this. We're doing all this effort and we're only making this.' So we were able to turn around and go back to a couple of our contract customers and go, 'alright, this price has to go up.'"
