CETECommand
For trades and service businesses. Made in Sydney.

The paperwork, handled.

Most service businesses lose hours a week to the same problems. CETECommand puts the whole job in one place, so nothing slips.

Sound familiar?

  • Quotes written up at night, then forgotten
  • Timesheets missing on payday
  • Invoices sent a week late
  • Jobs buried in text messages
  • Staff ringing to ask where they are going tomorrow
  • Extra work argued about when the bill comes
  • Customers ringing to ask what is happening

With CETECommand

  • Quote on site, accepted online before you leave
  • Hours clocked at the job, approved in a tap
  • Invoice from the job the same day
  • Every job, photo and note in one place
  • Tomorrow's run on their phone, in driving order
  • Variations signed before the extra work starts
  • One link where customers see where their job is up to

First call to final payment. One app.

An enquiry becomes a quote. The quote becomes a job. The job becomes an invoice. Nothing is typed in twice.

1

The enquiry comes in

From your business page, your website form or chat, your enquiries email, or a call you add in seconds. It lands in Enquiries, ready to quote.

2

Quote, and they sign online

Send it by email, text or in the chat. The customer signs on their phone, the deposit invoice goes out, and the quote becomes the job, or a project split into trade jobs.

3

Book the work

Offer a few times and the customer picks one. Give each trade to your own people or a subcontractor, and the customer gets a reminder and an "on my way".

4

Do the work

The crew sees their day, clocks on, takes photos and fills in forms, signal or not. Extra work? The customer signs the variation before it starts.

5

Invoice from the job

Labour, parts and the quote come across on their own. Deposits and progress claims too. Nothing is billed twice, nothing is forgotten.

6

Get paid, and keep them

Customers pay by card from the invoice and it flows to Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks. Then their warranty is on their job page, and a Google review is asked for.

One link. The whole job.

Every job gets its own page for your customer. No app, no password. They see where it is up to, sign, pick a time, message your team, pay and find their warranty, all in one place. Tap through it: nothing is sent.

Your website, working for you.

Put a proper enquiry form and a live chat button on your own website with one line of code. Every enquiry and every chat lands in CETECommand, ready to quote. Try it below: nothing is sent.

  • Quotes and maintenance requests. Property and strata managers get the fields they need: unit or lot, strata plan, their PO number, tenant access and how urgent it is. Up to 6 photos with every request.
  • Website chat. Visitors chat with you from your site and you answer from the app. Gone before you reply? Your answer reaches them by email.
  • Straight into Enquiries. One tap turns a request into a customer and a job, with the photos, access notes and their order number already on it.
  • Looks like your business. Your colours and your logo. Works on WordPress, Wix, Squarespace and any other site. No website? Use your own business page.

Who is CETECommand for?

Trades and service businesses: plumbers, electricians, builders, cleaners, gardeners, installers, maintenance contractors and anyone who quotes, sends people to do the work and invoices for it. It suits a one-person business as well as a team of dozens.

What is the difference between CETEChat and CETECommand?

CETEChat is our private, encrypted chat, free for everyone. CETECommand is the business app: quotes, invoices, jobs, scheduling, timesheets and payroll, with that same chat built in. Same account, same people, one tap between the two.

Can one quote become several jobs?

Yes. A kitchen renovation can become one project with a job for each trade. You split the quote lines between them, and each trade job goes to your own people or a subcontractor. Subcontractors get a private work order link to accept the job, mark it done and add photos, with no account needed. Every quote line is billed once.

What does my customer see?

One link per job that opens on any phone, with no app or password. It shows where the job is up to, quotes to sign, times to pick, variations to approve, invoices to pay, the photos you share and their warranties. Messages with your team open after a code sent to their email, and your internal notes are never shown.

Can customers pick their own appointment time?

Yes. You offer 2 to 4 times, suggested from the worker's free time and calendars, and the customer picks one on their job page. They can move or cancel with a reason up to a cut-off you set, for example 24 hours before, and confirm a new time you propose with one tap.

How do warranties and claims work?

Each job gets your workmanship warranty and the maker's warranty on products you install, each with a certificate. Customers make a claim with photos from their job page and it becomes a linked job. If a subcontractor did that part, pass the claim to them under the warranty they gave you.

Can I keep my client private from subcontractors?

Yes. Mark the customer private and their name stays off every work order. Before a work order goes out, CETECommand checks the job, its checklist and shared files for anything that would give the client away. Subcontractors see the site, the on-site contact and the work.

Does it work without phone signal?

Yes. The crew's day, jobs and forms are kept on the phone. Clock on, tick off tasks, take photos and fill in forms with no signal, and it all sends when the phone is back online, with the real times it happened.

Which accounting and payroll software does it work with?

Xero, QuickBooks Online and MYOB for invoices, customers and payments. Xero Payroll and Employment Hero (KeyPay) for approved hours. You can keep working without them too.

How do card payments work? Do you take a cut?

You connect your own Stripe account and customers pay you directly from the invoice. We never touch the money and take no commission. Stripe charges its normal card fee.

Can my staff see prices and what I charge?

Only if you want them to. Field staff see their own jobs and visits, and prices are hidden from them by default. The office and admins see everything.

Does it sync with my calendar?

Yes, both ways, with Google Calendar and Outlook. Visits appear in each person's calendar, and their own busy times show on your schedule so you do not double-book. Apple Calendar gets a calendar link.

Where is our data kept?

On servers in Sydney, Australia, with daily backups kept for 14 days. The team chat is end-to-end encrypted, so only your people can read it.

Can you move us from the software we use now?

Yes, free, on every paid plan and during the free trial, and we do it with you. In CETECommand, open Jobs, Settings, Moving from another app and choose Ask our team to do it. Send us the export files from your current software privately in the app (CSV, Excel or a .zip) and let our team into your company for a few days. If you need help exporting, we show you on a short CETEChat video call while you share your screen. Our team brings across your customers, properties, price book, suppliers, subcontractors, staff, open quotes, invoices and jobs. You check a private preview before anything goes live, you see everything our team did, and you can end their access at any time. We never take control of your computer, and we will never call you out of the blue asking to. Prefer to do it yourself? Upload the same files there and it is done in one sitting.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. There are no lock-in contracts. Your plan stops at the end of the period you paid for, and you move to the Free plan with your chat. Your quotes, invoices and jobs stay yours, and you can export them whenever you like.

Quote it. Do it. Get paid.

Start free in a few minutes. Bring your team, your customers and your first job today. Coming from other software? We bring it all across for you, free, on a short call.
