Which platform actually fits how you work?
Every platform on this page can send an invoice. The difference is what it costs you to get there: in setup time, new habits, another screen to check. Korda Pro runs inside WhatsApp, where the conversation with the customer and your crew already happens. The others run in a system you have to open.
If someone on the crew can send a WhatsApp message, they can use Korda Pro, no training, no onboarding session, no admin person needed to run it for everyone else. A voice note from the van is a quote or an invoice, and if something needs changing, you just say it, no forms, no fields, no more admin catching up with you at 9pm.
Quotes get tracked and followed up automatically, and late invoices get chased without you having to remember. The system runs itself in the background while you get on with the job.

ServiceM8 A well-established iOS job app, with a lite Android app to run alongside everything else. ServiceM8 covers scheduling, job management and invoicing in one dedicated app. It's a solid choice for a business ready to standardise on a job management platform, but it's still a new interface to learn and check, separate from where the conversation with the customer already happens.

Tradify Strong on quoting and job management, but the workflow lives in the app, not the field. Tradify bundles quoting, job management and invoicing with a clean Xero sync. For a business that wants a single system of record, it delivers, but every action still means context switching and opening the app rather than working from wherever the job already is.

Fergus Built for job costing and profitability as the business scales. Fergus goes deep on job costing and workflow, which is useful once a business tracks margin closely across multiple jobs and staff. That depth comes with more setup and a desktop-first design that assumes someone is managing the system day to day.

AroFlo Built to run a service company, not just pay a tradie. AroFlo is a genuinely comprehensive field service platform: GPS fleet tracking, inventory, compliance documentation, job costing. The trade-off is a configuration project before it delivers value, which suits a business with the administrative bandwidth to run it.

NextMinute A lighter mobile app, still a separate place for admin. NextMinute is a more lightweight take on mobile job management, aimed at small teams that want less complexity than the bigger platforms. It's a real step down in setup effort from AroFlo or Fergus, but it's still an app to open rather than a message to send.

Jobber A full CRM and scheduling platform built for a bigger operation. Jobber is a broad, US-built platform covering client management, scheduling, quoting and invoicing. It's designed for a home service business with a growing office team, more capability than a one-to-ten person trade business typically needs day to day.
