ServiceM8 automation, less admin for tradies

ServiceM8 automation for small Australian trade and service businesses that want quotes-to-jobs, accounting handoffs, booking reminders and customer follow-up to run without manual effort. We connect the supported ServiceM8 events to Xero or MYOB, customer messages, smart forms and the operational steps around each job.

Perth on site · remote across Australia · built for small field service teams

The operating problem

The tradie admin that follows every job

Leads are returned late, bookings are confirmed individually and completed jobs are re-entered into the accounting system before anyone can invoice.

ServiceM8 can be the job record while automation handles the predictable handoffs around it. We first clean up the trigger, categories and permissions, then add only the workflows the team can support.

Platform specific workflows

Work we build in ServiceM8

We start with the real handoffs, decisions and data rules already happening in your business.

Quote to job

Convert an accepted quote into a ServiceM8 job with the approved details carried across.

Job completion to invoice

Prepare a draft Xero or MYOB invoice from the completed ServiceM8 job for review.

Booking confirmation and reminder

Send the agreed customer message when a job is scheduled and before attendance.

Smart forms and checklists

Use completed forms, photos or checklist status to set off the next step.

Customer follow up

Send a timed service follow up or review request after the job reaches the agreed state.

Missed call and web leads

Create a lead or job from a missed call or web form so it enters the queue straight away.

Recurring job scheduling

Prepare the next maintenance job from the agreed customer and service cadence.

Technician notifications

Notify assigned staff when approved job, schedule or instruction data changes.

Custom ServiceM8 integration

Connect the repeatable platform handoff specific to your service workflow.

Workflow in practice

Completion can prepare finance and follow up without losing review

Before

A completed job starts more office work

The invoice is recreated in accounting, customer follow up is scheduled separately and missed call leads remain outside ServiceM8 until someone returns them.
Controlled workflow

The job status prepares the next records

Completion prepares the draft invoice and the approved follow up. New lead events enter the ServiceM8 queue with their source and an owner, rather than skipping review.

Facts and ground rules

ServiceM8 Automation facts and what's included

We get the facts from whoever owns the platform, then check the controls against your setup.

Data and control

Your customer and job data, connected safely

We use the supported ServiceM8 API rather than shared logins or screen scraping. We limit access to what's needed, and if something goes wrong it goes straight to a named person.

Your qualified people still make the call on invoice review and high value jobs. For the accounting side, see Xero automation or MYOB automation; for wider data controls, see data loss prevention.

Clients

What clients say about the way we work

General feedback on how we listen, plan the work and deliver it, not a case study tied to one platform.
VibeZero reviewed BuildScore end to end before our public launch. What impressed us most was the rigour: a clear scope of work up front, tightly controlled access that they wound back the moment the job was done, and a written report so precise that our own independent verification confirmed every finding, line for line. They didn't just point at problems. Every issue came with a practical fix, sequenced so we could ship safely, and they handed over their testing tools so the value outlasted the engagement. Professional, responsive and security-first at every step. We'd recommend Josh and the VibeZero team to any founder who wants confidence in what they're shipping.
Stacey BlackwellDirector, BuildScore
Josh and the VibeZero team turned a mess of ideas into a working product faster than I thought possible. They actually listened to what we needed, didn't overcomplicate things, and delivered something our team could use straight away. Genuinely one of the best tech experiences I've had as a business owner.
