The real cost of staying manual

Here's what's quietly bleeding your business every week.

You're not losing money all at once. It's leaking slowly: a forgotten material here, an hour of phone tag there, an invoice that took 90 minutes instead of 5. This guide fixes all of it.

$30,000
Lost to admin every year

5 hours a week × $120/hr × 50 weeks. Time you worked but couldn't bill because you were doing invoices, chasing quotes, and playing phone tag. These tools cut that dramatically.

$7,800
Under-invoiced every year

Most tradies miss $50–$80 per job in forgotten materials, travel time, and verbal add-ons. At $50 missed × 3 jobs × 52 weeks, that's real money gone. The voice invoice workflow in this guide captures it all.

$37,400
Total opportunity per year

The 5 tools in this guide address both leaks: admin time and under-invoicing. Tools cost $384/year (Xero only; rest are free). Net gain for a Sydney tradie at $120/hr: $37,400+.

Real example: same job, same day

This is what one missed voice note costs you.

❌ Invoice from memory
Labour: 4 hrs @ $120$480
Misc parts (approx)$80
Total$560
Forgotten:
✗ 30 min travel = $60
✗ Cable & conduit = $45
✗ Extra powerpoint agreed on site = $85
✓ AI voice workflow (3 min in the van)
Labour: 4.5 hrs @ $120$540
Travel: 0.5 hrs @ $120$60
Cable & conduit$45
General materials$80
Extra powerpoint install$85
Total$810
Same job. +$250 on this one invoice. At 52 jobs a year, that's $13,000 you're currently leaving on the table.

Plus: How to Use Them Together

A worked example showing how all five tools can transform a typical tradie's day - from finishing a job to sending an invoice in under 5 minutes.

Bonus section

The time you're losing to admin right now.

Most tradies don't realise how much time they spend on admin because it happens in bits - a few minutes here, an hour there. But it adds up fast.

These tools won't eliminate admin completely. But they can cut it dramatically - and give you back hours every week.
