About This Solution

The complete operations platform for construction and trade businesses

Running a construction or trade business means managing moving parts that no spreadsheet can keep up with. Every job has its own timeline, its own subcontractors, its own materials, and its own client — and when something slips, it costs you money, reputation, and time you cannot get back.

Most construction businesses reach a point where the job management system is a combination of WhatsApp messages, shared folders, and gut feel. Quotes go out late. Purchase orders get missed. Invoices sit unsent for weeks after practical completion. Zigaflow replaces that operational patchwork with a single platform that covers quoting, job management, procurement, subcontractor coordination, and invoicing from end to end.

Whether you're a sole trader managing 10 jobs at once or a contractor with a 30-person team running concurrent projects, Zigaflow gives you the visibility to know exactly where every job stands, every day — without spending your evenings catching up on admin.

Key Facts
  • Manages the full job lifecycle from quote to invoice with real-time status tracking
  • Coordinates subcontractors and suppliers with automated purchase orders and delivery tracking
  • Tracks job costs against budget in real-time to prevent margin erosion
  • Integrates with Xero, QuickBooks, and FreeAgent for seamless financial management
  • Sends professional quotes with line-item breakdowns in under 15 minutes
How It Works

Up and running in four simple steps

1

Capture Enquiries and Site Requests

Enquiries arrive via phone, web form, or direct referral from contractors, developers, or procurement teams and are logged instantly against a client record. Job details including trade type, site address, and scope notes are captured upfront so nothing gets lost between the initial call and the estimating stage.

2

Build and Send Detailed Quotes

Estimators build itemized quotes covering labor, materials, plant hire, and subcontractor costs using pre-built line item libraries and markup rules. Quotes are sent as branded PDFs directly to the client or main contractor, with acceptance tracked so the team knows exactly which tenders have been won, lost, or are still pending.

3

Manage Jobs Through to Completion

Accepted quotes convert directly into jobs with assigned operatives, scheduled start dates, and linked purchase orders raised to suppliers or subbies. Progress is tracked against the original scope, with variation orders logged formally to protect margin and avoid disputes over additional works.

4

Invoice, Collect, and Sync Accounts

Invoices are raised against completed job stages or application for payment schedules, with retention amounts and payment terms applied automatically. Payment status is monitored in real time and all transaction data syncs to accounting software such as Xero or QuickBooks, keeping books accurate without manual re-entry.

Jobs Falling Through the Cracks

With multiple active jobs at different stages, it is impossible to keep track of what needs to happen next. Tasks get missed, subcontractors turn up to sites that are not ready, and small oversights become expensive problems.

How Zigaflow helps

Zigaflow gives every job its own timeline with tasks, milestones, and automatic reminders. Your whole team sees the same real-time picture, so nothing gets missed.
