Photo quoting
Customers send photos, measurements and notes. You send a priced quote back from your phone that they accept in one tap.
Handyman booking & photo quoting software
Handymen: fill the week with the small jobs that pay. Quote from photos, paid on the day.
Texts about leaky taps, quotes for jobs you can't see and invoices sent from the couch on Sunday night. We build booking and photo-quoting systems that make small jobs worth doing, then we host them and look after them.
Looking for handyman booking software with photo quotes?
Handyman work is a hundred small jobs a month, each needing a quick price. A sticking door, a leaky tap, a TV to mount, a fence paling gone. Driving out to quote a hinge isn't worth the fuel. Saying no means losing the customer who'd have booked the bigger job next month. Meanwhile the requests come in by text, Facebook, voicemail and the odd note on a fridge.
Wollopit builds custom handyman software around how you actually work. Customers send photos and a job list, you price it from your phone and they pick a slot on a day you're already in their suburb. When the work's done they pay on the spot and it lands in Xero or MYOB. We connect the tools you already use, replace the ones getting in the way and host and look after the lot so you can get back on the tools.

The big ones
Your whole handyman business, on one system.
These are the systems handymen ask us about most. Each one works on its own and they get properly clever when they're joined up.
Photo quoting
Quote the job without driving to see it.
Customers snap the problem, add a few notes and send it through your website. You see the photos on your phone, tap in items from your price menu or write a custom figure and the quote goes back before you've finished your coffee. They accept and book in the same tap.
- Photo and video uploads with each request
- Measurements and notes per item
- Quote from your phone in minutes
- Fixed-price menu items to tap in
- Call-out fees and minimums built in
- Accept and book in one tap
- Follow-ups if a quote goes quiet

Booking & scheduling
Fill your days by suburb, not by luck.
Customers only see slots on days you're already working nearby, so the week falls into tidy runs. Each day comes up in driving order with access notes, job lists and the parts to bring.
- Same-week slots by suburb
- Hourly, half-day or fixed-price bookings
- Day view in driving order
- Access notes and gate codes
- Parts list for each day
- Day-before SMS reminders

Pay on the day
Finish the job. Get paid. Drive off.
The invoice builds itself from the quote plus anything added on site. Customers tap their card or pay by link before you've packed the drill. It all syncs to Xero or MYOB without retyping a thing.
- Invoice built from the quote
- Extras added on site
- Tap-to-pay on your phone
- Payment links by SMS
- Automatic overdue reminders
- Syncs to Xero or MYOB
- GST handled properly
- Receipts emailed instantly
Repeat work & agents
The customers who keep coming back.
Property managers lodge work orders in their own portal and get invoices with the right reference. Homeowners get a nudge when the gutters, smoke alarms or deck oil are due. A review request follows once they've paid.
- Agent portal for work orders
- Tenant contacts and access saved
- Quote approval by the agent
- Invoices with agency references
- Seasonal reminders by SMS
- Smoke alarm and gutter schedules
- Google review requests after payment

07How we work
The process
Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.
We get properly below the surface of your handyman business: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.
- 01
Think
We ride along for a day, see how jobs come in and get priced, then work out where the hours are leaking.
- 02
Archi-tech
We plan it before writing code: your price menu, suburbs, booking rules, payments, agent accounts, hosting and cost.
- 03
Build
Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually photo quoting or booking first, so you feel the difference within weeks.
- 04
Look after
We host it, maintain it and keep improving it. When something breaks you call the people who built it.
08Questions
FAQ
Things handymen ask us.
Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.
Can customers really get a quote from photos?
Yes. For most small jobs a few photos and a couple of measurements are plenty. If a job needs a proper look you can book a quick site visit instead, with or without a call-out fee.
Can it handle property managers' maintenance requests?
Yes. Agents can submit work orders with tenant details and photos. Invoices go back to them automatically with their reference attached.
Can bookings be grouped by suburb?
Yes. You set which areas you work on which days. Customers only see slots that fit, so your week falls into sensible runs instead of a zigzag.
Do I have to stop using ServiceM8 or Tradify?
No. If your job app is doing its job we build around it: photo quoting, suburb bookings, the agent portal and your website on top. If it's holding you back we'll show you what replacing it would involve before anything changes.
Can I take payment on the job?
Yes. Tap-to-pay on your phone or a payment link by SMS. The invoice and receipt go out automatically and everything syncs to Xero or MYOB.
How much does a handyman system cost?
It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand it. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build.
How long does it take?
Smaller pieces like photo quoting or online booking can be quick. Bigger systems are planned in stages so you get the first win early instead of waiting for everything at once.
Who looks after it once it's built?
We do. We host it on our own managed servers and keep it updated and secure. When you need something you ring the people who built it.
We already have systems. Can you upgrade them instead of starting again?
Usually, yes. Most handymen we work with keep what's working and upgrade the rest in stages. We move your data across, connect the old and new while we switch and retire the old system only when the new one is proven.
