Job management for project-based trades

Know your profit on every job while it’s still running.

Fieldstream runs your projects from quote to Xero. Quotes, purchase orders, bills, timesheets and invoices sit against each job, so you see labour, materials and gross margin live, not three weeks after the job is closed.

Used every day across our own national signage, installation and billboard construction businesses.

The problem

Most job apps tell you who’s on site. Not whether the job is making money.

Labour leaks

Hours sit in timesheets that never get tied back to the job, so you only find the overrun when the payroll lands.

Late supplier bills

Bills arrive weeks after the work and quietly eat the margin you quoted.

Scattered crew updates

Photos, variations and decisions get lost across texts, WhatsApp threads and phone calls.

How it works

One flow, from quote to Xero

Every step lands on the job, so the project dashboard always shows running revenue, cost and gross margin.

  1. Quote the job and send it for approval
  2. Raise purchase orders to suppliers against the job
  3. Schedule tasks and assign your crew
  4. Crew works in the app: time on task, photos, checklists, chat
  5. Enter bills, send invoices, all synced to Xero

Features

Everything a crew-based trade business needs, in one system

Live job profitability

Running revenue, cost and gross margin on every project, with flags when a job drops below its target.

Labour tracking

Field staff log time against tasks. Timesheets flow into job cost, so labour is never a guess.

Quotes to invoices

Quotes, purchase orders, supplier bills, receipts and invoices, all linked to the project.

Field app

Your crew sees their tasks, checklists, documents and directions, and logs progress and completion photos.

ChatStream

Real-time chat inside each job. The conversation, people and files stay with the project, not in someone’s pocket.

Xero sync

Invoices and bills sync to Xero, with Xero tracking categories matched to your business units. No double entry.

Client portal

Your clients see the job too, without the zip files

Every client gets a portal with their quotes, invoices, completion reports and job photos in one place.

  • Send a completion report and it’s emailed to the client and logged against the job in their portal
  • Every photo from the job’s tasks is there for them to view, with no zip files or Dropbox links
  • Quotes and invoices stay on record, so clients stop asking you to resend them

Fewer emails. Faster sign-off.

Completion evidence goes to the client the moment the job is done, which helps you invoice sooner and settle disputes with photos, not memory.

Built for trades with crews on site

Fieldstream suits businesses running projects with two or more people on site for days or weeks at a time.

  • Electrical contractors
  • Plumbing and gas
  • Builders and fit-out
  • Signage and installation
  • Other project-based trades

Set up for you, not a DIY app

Fieldstream is a serious operating system for your jobs, so we set it up with you. We connect Xero, import your clients, suppliers and items, configure your templates and checklists, and train your office and crew.

Our story

Built inside a working installation business

Fieldstream started with a project manager running sign installation crews across Australia. Every tool we tried was either bloated or missing the basics, so we built our own. Today it runs the projects, labour and Xero reporting across our own national signage, installation and billboard construction businesses.
