Per-room quotes, drying-time slots.

Most Australian carpet cleaners still quote off a notepad in the doorway and argue about room counts on the day. You eyeball a 3-bedroom-plus-lounge, scribble a number, then re-key it into Jobber or ServiceM8 that night and the GST into Xero the day after. The stain you spotted on the wool berber doesn't make it onto the bill, the drying window from the last job blows out your arrival time at the next one, and when an agent disputes an end-of-lease carpet credit you've got no before/after photos to point at. The high-margin add-ons, pet-urine treatment, red-wine extraction, scotchgard, are exactly the ones that fall through the cracks of a doorway quote.

OneBookPlus rebuilds the job around what you actually clean. Quote line-by-line, bedrooms, lounge-suite seats (2-seater, 3-seater, recliner, ottoman), stairs, hallways, and per-spot stain treatments, and the customer accepts on their phone before you load the truck-mount. Each carpet or rug type carries its own method spec, max-water temp and warning note, so a junior operator never runs a hot extraction over a silk Persian. When you slot the next job, the calendar reserves the 4 to 8 hour hot-water-extraction drying window, so the same suburb stop starts when the carpet's ready, not when the machine's free.

Your Daily Workflow

The day runs off a drying-aware calendar: residential extractions, a Persian-rug in-shop drop-off, and a quarterly office steam contract that auto-appears when the next-visit date hits. On site you snap a before photo of every soiled spot, apply the right pre-treatment per the fabric notes attached to the quote, extract, then snap the after photo so the customer signs off on the result before you wand down. The job converts to a GST-compliant invoice with your ABN, a Pay Now link, and an automatic Google review request timed for when the carpet's dry and the customer's happiest. Commercial quarterly contracts roll their visits into monthly billing automatically.

Expenses & Accounting

Record a payment against an open invoice and the invoice closes off in the ledger. For the spend side, drag in a photo or PDF of the chemical order from Pacvac or Steamaster, the truck-mount parts bill, the fuel docket or the insurance renewal, and the scan reads the supplier, date, GST and total so you only confirm the expense category. Come BAS time the GST summary is already prepared, GST collected on room cleans and stain add-ons, GST credits on purchases, net owing, exportable in one click for your accountant.
