Everything You Need
Built for How Roofers Actually Work
Forget clunky desktop software. OneBookPlus is the roofing business app designed for crews who spend their days on a ladder, not in an office.
Roof Inspection Reports with Photos
Capture roof inspections on your phone, drone shots, ridge cap close-ups, gutter rust, broken tiles. Build a branded PDF report with photos and recommendations the homeowner can actually understand.
Quotes per Roof, per m², per Gutter Metre
Build itemised quotes the way roofers actually price work, full re-roofs by m², ridge repointing per linear metre, gutter replacement per metre, individual tile repairs by count. GST calculated automatically.
Job Board with SLA Reminders
Tag leak emergencies as urgent and scheduled restorations as standard. SLA reminders flag overdue callouts and ageing repointing jobs so nothing slips while you're up on a roof somewhere.
GST & BAS Ready
Every invoice automatically calculates 10% GST and displays your ABN and roofing licence number. Export GST summaries at BAS time, your accountant will thank you.
Crew Scheduling & Week View

Materials & Disposal Tracking
Log tiles, ridge mortar, Colorbond sheets, gutters, and skip hire against each job. Snap receipt photos from Bristile, BlueScope, or Stratco, and track tip fees so you know exactly how profitable every roof really is.
Quote Win Rate & Revenue Trends
Track your 90-day quote conversion rate. See week-over-week revenue trends so you know if your pipeline is growing or tightening before it becomes a cash flow problem.
Client History & CRM
Every roof you've worked on, every gutter you've cleaned. Set automated reminders for return work, annual gutter cleans, repointing inspections, leak warranty checks. Past customers are your easiest next sale.

Simple Workflow
How OneBookPlus Works for Roofers
From quote to payment in four simple steps, designed around a typical roofer's day.
Quote the roofing work
Create an itemised quote for the tile repair, ridge repointing, full re-roof, or gutter replacement: labour by m² or linear metre, materials, and disposal fees with GST calculated automatically. Send as a professional PDF with your ABN and roofing licence number.
Schedule & complete the work
Once accepted, the job drops into your calendar. Assign your crew, track time on-site, log materials used, snap drone or roof photos, and document any extra work discovered up there.
Invoice on the spot
Convert the quote to a GST-compliant invoice with one tap. Send it to the customer before you've packed up the ladder and Colorbond off-cuts.
Get paid faster
Customers pay online via the invoice link. Automated reminders chase overdue payments so you can focus on the next roof, not debt collection.
Send a real quote the day you sign up

Example walkthrough
Monday, a roof measure and a restoration quote
An illustrative walkthrough of a typical roofing day
You start on the week view: a tile repair callout, a ridge repointing job, and a gutter replacement quote to price, with roof inspections already assigned to your apprentice.
The callout came in overnight as an urgent leak through your booking page, so you go there first. On the roof you find cracked tiles around a chimney flashing, and you build the quote on your phone with labour and materials as separate lines and GST applied automatically. The homeowner accepts the quote link before you are back on the ladder. Job done, invoice sent before you drive off.
Mid-morning you run the repointing, quoted by linear metre with a materials line for cement and ridge tiles. Drone shots before and after attach to the job record, and the quote converts to an invoice that afternoon.
The gutter replacement is the bigger one. You photograph the rusted gutters, build a detailed quote with materials, labour by linear metre, scaffold hire and tip fees, and send a branded inspection report PDF with the photos and the accept link. It comes back accepted that evening.
End of day: three jobs touched, the invoices out, two of them already paid, and supplier receipts logged against each job with photos. The dashboard tracks your quote win rate over time. Come BAS time, the GST summary exports in one click.

An illustrated day, not real customer data. Scroll through it from morning to 5pm: the AI receptionist answers and books a missed call, the work runs from the app, the GST invoice is sent on the spot, payment lands and the books balance themselves, a review invite is queued for the next daily run, and the day closes with the ledger already written.

The storm-cracked-tiles call you'd have missed.
Last night's storm cracked tiles over Mrs Harris's kitchen. She calls the first roofer on Google, you.
AI Receptionist

The AI answers in two rings, books 9:00 am, and texts her a confirmation, before you've left the driveway.

You just climb up.
Job card on your phone: address, leak notes, roof type. The quote's pre-filled from your price book, tiles, flashing, labour.
From the ute

Reputation on autopilot
The review ask, once the leak stops.
After payment clears, the AI texts Mrs Harris an invite to leave a review, timed to the delay you set. No chasing, no awkward ask.

Founder & CEO, OneBookPlus

Read the founder bioHow this page was researched
The compliance and licensing statements above are taken from the bodies this page links to, including Safe Work Australia, Standards Australia and NSW Fair Trading, so you can read the rule rather than take our word for it. Plan prices come from the OneBookPlus price registry, so the page and the checkout cannot disagree. Everything said about OneBookPlus describes what the product does today, and the page says so where it does not do something.
How OneBookPlus Works for Roofers
Running a roofing business in Australia means juggling more admin than most roofers signed up for. You're quoting tile repairs from a ladder, pricing Colorbond re-roofs by the m², chasing leak callouts after every storm, and then coming home to reconcile ServiceM8 jobs against Xero invoices. Many roofers pay from $29/mo for ServiceM8, from $37/mo for Xero, and a third bill for a booking page and CRM, yet none of these tools were designed for how a roofing crew actually works. You end up double-entering data, losing drone photos in WhatsApp threads, and spending Sunday afternoons on BAS prep instead of resting your knees.
OneBookPlus replaces that patchwork with one platform built for how Australian roofers actually work. Build itemised quotes mixing m² pricing for re-roofs, linear metre pricing for ridge repointing and gutters, and per-item pricing for tile repairs and skylights, all from your phone on the roof. Attach drone photos and inspection reports directly to the job record. Convert accepted quotes to GST-compliant invoices with a single tap, with your ABN and roofing licence number printed on every document. Track expenses against each job so you know your true margin after tip fees, scaffold hire, and crew labour. And when BAS time rolls around, your GST summary is already waiting.
Your Daily Workflow
It's 6:30am and your phone buzzes: an emergency leak callout through your OneBookPlus booking page. Storm last night, water coming through a Glenelg ceiling. The job is auto-tagged urgent on your job board. You head out. On the roof you find three cracked tiles around a chimney flashing and you build a quote on your phone: $220 labour including emergency rate, $80 for replacement tiles and lead flashing, GST calculated automatically. The homeowner accepts on the spot via the quote link. Job done by 8am. You snap drone photos of the repaired chimney, attach them to the job record, and convert the quote to an invoice before you're back in the ute. Your week view shows a ridge repointing at 10am and a Colorbond gutter quote at 2pm. Your apprentice has two inspection appointments and can see his schedule on his own device.
Job Costs & Accounting
When the Glenelg customer pays that emergency callout invoice through the pay link, the payment lands against the invoice and the receivable clears, so aged debtors shows what is genuinely outstanding. Costs go in from the paperwork: drag in the Bristile, BlueScope Lysaght or Stratco PDF, or photograph the docket at the tip, and the AI reads the supplier, date, GST and total for you to confirm. Code materials to the job, tip fees and skip hire to disposal, ute fuel to vehicle expenses, scaffolding hire to job costs, harness and PPE to safety. Come BAS time, your GST collected on sales and GST paid on purchases are already tallied. Export the summary in one click and forward it to your accountant.
Getting Started
Sign up free. No credit card, no lock-in contract. Select “Roofer” as your business type and OneBookPlus pre-configures your account with roofing service categories, typical job durations, and invoice templates that include your licence number. Import your customer list via CSV from ServiceM8, Tradify, or a spreadsheet. You can have your first quote sent the day you sign up, and the week's supplier invoices scanned in by the end of it. The switch from ServiceM8 and Xero is designed to fit in a single evening.
