WorkGuru | Job Management for Trailer Manufacturers

Nick Mazzella

Administrator

"We were probably close to pulling the trigger on something a lot more expensive. We didn't wanna pay 100 grand upfront for a program, but then we found WorkGuru. A lot of the small business price-point programs didn't have all the features we needed, whereas WorkGuru looks like something that as we grow, we can continue to use. I can see us using it even if we got to a point where we had 50 employees."

Natalie Newman

Belco Custom Trailers

"The flexibility and comprehensive control offered by WorkGuru are indispensable, especially in the dynamic manufacturing landscape. It's a system that truly adapts to your business needs."

Arron MacCue

Director & Owner

"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 let them focus on other parts of the business. We've increased our throughput by 100%, and thanks to WorkGuru, I haven't put on any additional staff in the office."

Why trailer makers choose WorkGuru

Less admin. Fewer surprises. More margin.

Trailer makers need flexibility. WorkGuru is built to handle custom work, which is why leading trailer manufacturers across Australia and NZ run their workshops on it.

Quote custom trailers without starting from scratch

Start from your standard model and change what this customer wants. Dimensions, components, labour, one-off extras. Nothing gets missed and quotes go out while the customer is still keen.

Know what every trailer is really making you

Labour, materials and purchases land on the build as it happens. You see real cost against the quote while you can still do something about it, instead of finding out at invoicing.

Stop running out of everyday steel

Stock on hand, usage and reorder levels in one place. RHS, plate and consumables are there when the build needs them. No stalled jobs, no emergency supplier runs.

Give customers dates you can stand behind

The "game-changing" features trailer makers use every day to stay on track

Quote and project templates

Load a standard trailer build, change the axle rating or ramps, and send a branded quote in minutes instead of hours.
Live job costing

See labour, materials and outsourced costs against the quote while the trailer is still on the floor.
Time tracking on the job

Welders clock straight onto the trailer they are building, so every hour lands on the right job.
Stock and steel control

Track RHS, plate and consumables against jobs so you order before the shelf is empty, not after.
Purchase orders

Raise POs for steel, axles and galvanising with the cost allocated straight to the trailer.
Scheduling and production board

See workshop capacity and where every trailer sits, so you only promise dates you can hit.

Keep everything running smoothly from your phone

The best tools in your pocket, no matter where you are - on site, in the workshop or out on the road.

Trailer makers often ask

What is job management software for trailer manufacturers?

Software that runs your whole build in one place, WorkGuru runs your quoting, purchase orders, stock, time tracking and invoicing. Instead of juggling spreadsheets, whiteboards and your accounting software, everything lives in one system, so you know exactly what every trailer costs to build and whether you made money on it.

What's the difference between job management software and an ERP?

Not much these days, except the price tag. Traditional ERPs charge $80,000-$100,000 upfront before you've raised a single quote. WorkGuru does the same core job - stock, purchasing, job costing, scheduling - for $35 per user per month.

Does WorkGuru connect to Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks?

Yes, all three. Invoices and supplier bills flow from WorkGuru straight into your accounting platform. Once you're live, your accounting software is only for bank rec, payroll and tax - everything else happens in WorkGuru, so you never enter anything twice.

How does WorkGuru show me if my trailers are actually making money?

WorkGuru tracks every hour and every part against each build, then compares it to what you quoted. Most manufacturers running on spreadsheets just assume they're profitable because there's money in the bank at the end of the month. WorkGuru shows you forecast versus actual on every trailer, live, so you know which builds make money and which ones are bleeding.

Do I need any additional software to use WorkGuru?

No. WorkGuru is an all-in-one platform that seamlessly integrates with tools like Xero, ensuring you don't need to manage multiple apps, paper, or spreadsheets.
