No two handyman jobs look the same. One morning it's flat-pack assembly and a leaking tap, the afternoon it's mounting a TV and fixing a gate. You're juggling more separate customers and more small invoices than almost any other trade — which is a lot of admin if you're doing it on paper or in your head. Yamate makes the quoting and invoicing the quick part.
What makes handyman admin a pain
- Multi-task quotes — most jobs are a bundle ("assemble the bed, hang three pictures, fix the door"). Itemise each task on one quote in seconds.
- Hourly + materials mix — charge your hourly rate and add the bits from the hardware run, all on the one invoice.
- Quoting on the spot — customers want a price while you're standing there; build it on your phone and send it before you leave.
- Lots of customers — keep every customer and their jobs in one place instead of a notes app and a shoebox of receipts.
- Small invoices, paid fast — a PayID on the invoice means a $120 job gets paid before you've driven home.
Typical jobs it handles
Flat-pack and furniture assembly, TV and shelf mounting, picture hanging, door and lock repairs, gate and fence fixes, minor plumbing and tap swaps, painting touch-ups, gutter clearing, pressure washing, fly-screen repairs and the endless "while you're here" odd jobs. Save the ones you do constantly so they drop into the next quote.
Get paid for the small jobs too
Small jobs are the easiest to forget to invoice — and the easiest for a customer to "forget" to pay. Yamate invoices the moment you finish, takes payment by PayID, and chases anything overdue automatically, so nothing slips through.

Can I quote several tasks on one job?

Can I charge hourly and add materials?
Yes. Put your hourly labour and any materials on the same invoice, with GST added automatically if you're registered.
