Sendatradie

Sendatradie is field-service software for Australian trades and service crews that need to coordinate office bookings with work on site. It suits businesses that want scheduling, customer records, accounting sync and payment collection in one workflow, but the monthly job cap should drive the plan choice.

Overview

Scheduling, dispatch, quotes, invoices, payments and customer communication are handled in one platform. Online booking, route planning and crew scheduling add useful operational coverage, while disposal records make it relevant to junk removal as well as trades. This breadth can suit a team replacing disconnected job and payment processes; businesses with high job volume need to account for the tier caps.

The iOS and Android apps let field workers check jobs and customer history, update records, add photos, send quotes and invoices, and take payments. That makes common office tasks available on site, though the platform’s value depends on whether its monthly quota fits the crew’s workload.

Key features

Two-way Xero and MYOB synchronization covers invoices, payments and customers, helping keep job activity aligned with accounting records. Sendatradie also lists Instagram, Stripe, Google Calendar and Facebook integrations. Its AI assistant can answer calls, book jobs and follow up with clients automatically, while Standard includes 15 automations.

Tap to Pay, payment links and same-day field payments give crews several ways to collect money at the job. Paid plans include free migration of jobs, customers and quotes from ServiceM8, Tradify, AroFlo or Excel, which may ease a switch from those systems. The company advertises 24/7 email, chat and phone support and targets email replies within four business hours.

Sendatradie says its servers use SSL certificates and transferred data is encrypted where required by law. That is a stated security measure, not a broader guarantee about security practices.

Pricing

The free Lite tier is billed forever free at free and allows 30 jobs per month. It includes online booking, the mobile app, job scheduling, and 24/7 email and chat support. It is a practical way to start or handle a low volume, but the cap is restrictive for an established busy crew.

Starter costs $89 a month, or $82/month billed yearly, and raises the cap to 150 jobs monthly. It adds unlimited staff and clients, Xero/MYOB integration and reports. It fits teams that need accounting sync and more room than Lite, but remains limited by job count.

Standard costs $212 a month, or $199/month billed yearly, for 500 jobs per month, 15 automations, automated reviews and reminders, and custom reports. This is the more suitable tier for businesses seeking automated follow-up and a larger workload allowance.

Ultimate costs $420 a month, or $399/month billed yearly, and covers 1,500 jobs. It adds inventory and franchise management, custom documents, service plans, and staff GPS and status. Larger or multi-location operations have the strongest reason to pay for these tools; smaller teams may not need this capacity. A 14-day trial is offered.

Platforms

Sendatradie runs on the web and has apps for Android and iOS. The mobile apps carry job and payment tasks into the field rather than limiting workers to office access.

Who it's for

The product targets Australian plumbers, electricians, locksmiths, HVAC technicians, appliance repairers, garage door specialists and junk removal crews. It is a stronger fit for businesses that need field payments, accounting connections or coordinated dispatch than for those seeking only a booking page.

Pros and cons

Pro: Scheduling through payment share one workflow, with mobile tools for field updates and collections.

Pro: Two-way Xero and MYOB sync covers invoices, payments and customers.

Pro: Paid-plan migration from four named systems can reduce the work of moving jobs, customers and quotes.

Con: Every tier is constrained by a monthly job cap, from 30 on Lite to 1,500 on Ultimate.

Con: Starter has no stated automation allowance; the defined 15-automation inclusion begins with Standard.

Alternatives

Junk Removal Software is a useful comparison category for crews focused specifically on waste removal operations.

Choose BrainO if its free allowance of three active projects and two team members better matches a small team. HaulHQ may suit operators who prefer a $0/mo base with per-job and card-payment fees, including five free jobs. JunkIt is another option for a small operation: its free tier limits users to one seat, five estimates and five jobs per month, while excluding AI.

Autopilot is a paid alternative with a $49/month Run plan for one user that includes scheduling, jobs and dispatch, estimates with online approval, and invoicing. 1minutebooking is worth considering when the need is a web booking page rather than a full field-service workflow; its Pro plan is $10 USD/month and adds a custom page, logo, Excel export and removal of the platform badge. Cartoply offers a free personal scheduling page with Google Calendar and Outlook sync.

Dumpster Controls is another alternative. APX Haul may fit a smaller truck operation: its $89 a month Starter plan covers one truck and up to two users.

Verdict

Sendatradie is a sensible choice for Australian trade and service businesses that want mobile job handling, field payment collection and Xero or MYOB synchronization in one system. Its main advantage is the breadth from scheduling through payment; its main drawback is that monthly job caps can force a higher tier as workload grows. Choose it when those connected workflows matter and the relevant cap fits your volume, and look elsewhere if you need a simpler booking tool or expect to exceed the available quotas.
